Usually when prince does the voice speeded up thing, it always seem to be a good song...and the Jamie Starr voices, they were all good also, aint that weird?


But hey...just wait for the haters of this song 2 come in.. just wait.... wink

nod Me too! I love that track. There's some shite on Rave but there's good stuff too and Baby Knows is a winner!! thumbs up!

I love "Baby Knows" also. It's cute and it's "cleverly" sexy, not openly sexy IMO. Tune is very catchy, too.

nod It's a fun, good tune...I really liked the Rave album, though it's one of those where I really like some tracks and sometimes skip certain others...

Welcome the first hater! Not a big fan of "Baby Knows". It's not a bad song but it seems like Prince can come up with songs like that very easily. I guess it's an ok album track but it doesn't strike me as memorable.

I've always loved "Baby Knows"! I thought it was one of the most instantly-likeable songs on Rave un2...

my only complaint about it was that Sheryl's vocal was mixed down so low that you can hardly hear her. And since I like Sheryl better than Gwen Stefani, who was much more prominently featured in her duet with Prince, I was disappointed.

BUT WAIT!!!

The Rave IN2 version of "Baby Knows," in addition to having a little false ending tag, turns up Sheryl's vocal a LOT more. For me, that makes it the better of the two versions of the song and the one I prefer to listen to.

I just have to say it-I hate this song.

I really like the Rave album, but this song just irritates me.

1.) It sounds like a ripoff of Cream.

2.) The lyrics are totally cringe-worthy. This kind of poochie make you beg? The butt that goes round?

It just irritates me.

I've always loved this song and having been waiting for this very moment for someone to create a dedication thread to it! I was going to dedicate a thread to it myself at one point.

Top class Prince song!

woot!
