throwaway songs A friend has this theory that on every album Prince has at least one or two "throwaway" songs -songs that, for whatever reason, he made bad on purpose.
Don't think I buy that one, but it's an interesting theory, and it would certainly explain such gems as Jughead and Wedding Feast.

WDYT? Am I the ONLY one that thinks Wedding Feast is funny. I like it, it cracks me up. But, I don't think Jughead is funny at all. Not at all.

I think he makes throwaway songs - look at Musicology, Rave, Emancipation 
Seriously though, yep, when one reads how Prince places songs on an early album configuration, knowing he will replace them later on, with a song, in the same genre/mood - they're throwaway songs kind of. Anyone who records so much music can't possible make everything they do A+, there has to be a few bum-notes. I don't think he intentionally makes bad songs, more that in the past he has tried new things, some worked, some didn't. | |

Why would he purposely make something bad? Then again, Prince does a lot of things no one else understands.... "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Umm.. Wedding Feast is not a song.. 
Anyway... in my opinion what can be thrown for others that were better would b... Jughead the whole Chaos & Disorder album basically (i never listen 2 that album). 
The Flow Arms Of Orion Release It  i thought that was embarassing for The Time
Curious Child, Dreamin About U, The Love We Make, One Of Us, Mr Happy,  Cant make U Love Me
Poom Poom, 18 & Over ( i dont know y he liked those songs) Shoo be Doo, Push It Up  embarrassed by those songs.
"NPG GET ROWDY NOW!" on "Undisputed" double  ( i remember some1 laughing as i played that in school, never again).[Edited 9/20/04 18:09pm] Straight Jacket Funk Affair

"New Power Soul" is full of "throwaway" songs.  Andy is a four letter word. | |

I think that was the intent...to make a funny little segue....I get a chuckle out of it too! "Vous ete tres belle mama, girls and boys"
