Prince & Gayle Chapman- "U"

Why oh why didnt this song see the light of day on an official album? And why oh why did Prince bastardize the thing for Paula Abdul?

Who else loves this song?



(listening to it right now on girlbros radio and the idear for this thread came to mind.. wink )

Which version? I love what I believe is version #2 (Great guitar riffs on that one!) Of course, I gotta say that the lyrics about "rape" always threw the song of a little for me. Still love the overall composition when performed by Prince razz

I didn't know the version he did with Gayle was revamped for Paula....I thought those were two different songs.

That sounds like The Rebels version, which is version 1.

That's the one that contains the "you drive a girl to rape" lyric, as sung by Chapman.
