I COULD NEVER TAKE THE PLACE OF YOUR MAN............PERFECT Pop songcraft....y'all agree??????

When it comes 2 making truly infectuous POP songs....P was tops...esp with ICNTTPOYM.....

It is such a GREAT song...from beginning 2 end!!!!!

--Like "When U Were Mine" and "Lets Pretend We're Married" before it.....Prince shows how GREAT of a songwriter he can be when it comes to songcraft!!!!!

Can U imagine someone doing a PUNK remake of this!!!!????

Jordan Knight should be hanged 4 his version.....

I just listened to this song 3 times last night whilst lying in bed and dreamt I was playing it in my own band for a school talent competition. Very uplifting song.

I agree on both When You Were Mine and ICNTTPOYM, those are 2 of my all time favs, in the pop category at least.
This is not music, this is a trip
No, it's not a drug, it's something more hip
Don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine
Purple music does the same to my brain

The instrumental section of this song is transcendental. It's one of the best moments in modern music. I can't think up an accolade strong enough to express my love for this song, and especially for that sexy solah in the middle.

By far one of my all time favorite Prince songs, if not my #1 most favorite-est.

I absolutely love this song.....the performance in the film is classic.

It falls under my "mid-tempo rockers" category for Prince songs, which happens to contain alot of my favs:

When U Were Mine
The Holy River
White Mansion
Money Don't Matter Tonight
The Morning Papers etc.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I've never been a big fan of this song, but I love the guitar solo in it. One of his best

I love it. Thought I was the only one. One Saturday morning I put it on repeat and probably listened to it 100 times before my husband made me stop. [sob]

Anyway, it is really fun to sing along to, isn't it?

I said BABY! Don't waste your time...

ICNTTPOYM is my favorite Prince song of all time. I never get tired of hearing it.

YES!!!! This is a great piece of pop. I especiallly like the SOTT movie version of this song. P gives the guitar a pretty good workout!!!
