I've never seen this song posted on the org this one funky ass joint when I listen to the atwiad album i play this jam over & over. I just LOVE the drums & the arrangment. Less than three minutes long, but a slammin ass cut.

I just love Prince on Drums..... very funkay !!!! Tamborine, Irresistable Bitch- gotta love him drums.

It's about vaginas.

Underrated. Ignored. A Gem.

It's a favorite of certain stars. Trent Reznor sampled the drunmline in "Head Like A Hole" on his maxi single.

"I don't care for one night stands with trolley cars that juggle 17."

Love & Light,

Quietsoul

lonley days and lonely nights...trolley cars....faces in magazines

Songs about masturbation always get a thumbs up especially if Prince is on the drums


All Alone, by myself, Me & I Play My Tambourine

A similar instrument without a drumhead.

So it is clear it a song about him wanting to pluck a dove, this was shortly after his affair with mike (rophone stand).

I had a NIN bootleg and Trent Reznor uses the rhythm track of tambourine as a loop on one of the tracks...anyone know if this is officially available??

Tromp-o-line!!

This was always a favorite of mine from this album. Then he comes out with "Life Can Be So Nice" on "Parade" which I also love. I was always drawn to the wierd songs on Prince's 80's albums.

Oh I forgot "Dance On" from "Lovesexy". He was always good for at least one strange jam per album.
