OMG I love this song! Why o Why do I love this song so much? Have you guys heard this? I just got Crystal Ball and can't stop playing it. It makes me play it even when I don't want to! razz

One of the worst Prince "songs" ever.

If you like this, you deserve to be shot in the head.

Uhm, don't see why its one of his worst ever. I like it - its lyrically funny and it grooves. By Prince's own admission in the liner notes, its not a serious piece, in fact its "just to make a female laugh", I believe is what he said. So, its a throw-away jam and shouldn't be treated as anything else.

Not everything he produces should be groundbreaking or pushing the envelope - hell, some things should even just be for FUN - remember that?!!!

Your point being.....??

Its just that if something is said "tongue in cheek" and coupled with hyperbole, then that's a joke, right? I just didn't see your "joke" in that comment. The hyperbole in your statement is obvious "...should be shot in the head..." - the tongue in cheek aspect is not. So, what is your point - you were joking about the song being one of his worst?

I don't really care for that song. The best song on Crytal Ball IMO is Crucial. A quintessential Prince love song. mushy

No need to analyse it, it was hyperbole, said tongue in cheek.

It's a dire track, even if it is just for fun, but I don't sincerely think anyone who likes it should be shot in the head.

Well screw it -- I'll admit that I love this track. One of the few actual "outtakes" that made it onto CB. It's just stupid fun. And I dig it.

If it had remained an outtake that was circulating among collectors, it would be yearned for.

Shoot me in the head if you want, but I'd die funky.

I agree, and even think in 20 years, it'll have become a party classic. I mean "wishin' I was kin to your poompoom" is pretty damn hard not to sing along with.

I love this song - the best spot i heard it was in the small room at Paisley Park at one of the parties - it was played often in 98/99, and was very fun to dance to.
