EDIT: This badass funk was written cause Prince needed to vent via music about his ex manager and a music critic. He combined their names to form the title "Bob George."

Got corrected here, so look below for the details.

Probably the best funk ever! Whatcha think?


At least the best hate funk.

OMG this is like the same crap MJ pulled out of his ass when he wrote D.S, not music wise but lyric wise.
I haven't heard the song but i don't understand why artists feel they have to waste album space over stupid arguments they have with other people.

What's his name? ... Bob? What's he do for a living? ... Manage rockstars? ... who?? ... PRINCE??? Ain't that a bitch - that skinny mother fucker with the high voice? Who do I look like baby, yesterday's fool

You haven't heard the song LOL. Speak when you have.

Everybody... Everybody knows that its the funkiest hate piece of art written since....

Man....

Co-sign - that track is just dope. I remember back in 88 when it was supposed to come out and then was redrawn that my German radio station NDR2 actually played the record front to back, only breaking inbetween when side 1 was over (hey, anarchy in public radio, who would have thought that). I had my cassette rolling, and good lord, that song just blew me away then, and it still does now.

idiot alert! Before u comment at least have some idea of what the hell u are commenting on. Whatever or whomever the song "bob george" is based has zero to do with its artistic merit or its enjoyabiltiy. Lots of songs written by Prince or anyone else comes from personals relationships we aren't privy too. Whether the songs are about love, sex, diagreement or whatever. get real.

YeS.....I saw that in Rotterdam back in '88

I kick your ass, Twice !

I love playing this acoustically. It's the bestest of fun.

And I saw it in Hamburg - wasn't the lovesexy tour just great?

Krid said:

Yeah, the way they surounded him using there instruments as guns, just befor he shoots himself !!

jayaredee said:

Hmm, I don't think you can call it crap.
I personaly don't think it's about someone from warners.
The story line is great ! It's a movie in sound !
Which MJ's, DS is certainly not.

It's my understanding it was written after a music critic named Nelson George. He criticized one of Prince's albun and Bob George was Prince's reponse.

gman1966 said:

Yep, I think this one is correct.

gman1966 said:

Yes, that's right. And the 'Bob' part is believed to be Bob Cavallo, Prince's ex-manager.

So nothing to do with Warners.

jayaredee said:

So was Billy Jack Bitch wasted space too?

why can't we just dance, why can't we just dance?....naw, fuck that, fuck that...

i pay the rent in this raggedy muthafucka...and all you do is suck up food n'heat...say what? oh yeah...

B-O-B Spell that shit backwards same muthafuckin shiit.

metalorange said:

Very true. Bob Cavallo and Nelson George were getting under Prince's skin, so he combined their names and crafted this funky song.

Susan Rogers, Prince's former engineer, has confirmed this in interviews.

No no, no no, the reddish brown one.

My bad! Thnx for straightening out my facts. I heard it was an exec dissing his music, saying they weren't singles, but thats probably another story.


"I'LL KICK YO ASS....., TWICE!'

Yes...as my handle signifies...I feel this is the funkiest sh.t ever.



...shit, the nigger's gotta laser!

"Why can't we just dance...why can't we just dance?" That shit is so tight It blows my mind that it took me til' THIS SUMMER 2 FINALLY hear this
