Yes! In the Prince crowd I run with everyone goes crazy over this song. They sing and dance like there is no tomorrow and I just freakin hate this stupid song!

I do like Micheal B's shaking in the video

I HATE this song. One of the biggest piles of poop Prince ever wrote. Everytime I play the Hits 2, I always skip this song. Even when I try to give it a chance, I go to the next song halfway through it.

I've heard worse in his repertoire...not great, but not terrible.

Yeah, baby! Does the same for me -- it's a great memory to have.

But then.....I like Jughead, Mr. Happy and other songs of that ilk.
Perhaps I should be spanked.....

co-sign. I like it too.

Sorry, but I love this one, too. Even his average songs are good.

The song (if it can be called that) is complete trash.

How the fuck did it get on a greatest hits CD?

It's dumb, the lyrics are crap, and the rapping is weak. That being said, I do like the song.

The production values of the song save it from me; sure it's dated, and it was never a groundbreaking cut, but there's life in the song. Had it been on Emancipation, NPS, or Rave, he would've killed it with that drum machine/cheap keyboard shit. It would've been stilted and derivative.



...the lyrics are so dumb that I almost get a perverse thrill out of 'em. "Dippy dippy dope"?

That happens to me all the time.

how did it end up on his greatest hits album?



the other "unreleased" tracks were of a much
better quality

Pink Cashmere
Peach
4 The Tears In Your Eyes
Power Fantastic
Nothing Compares 2 U

and then "The Pope"

I LOVE Pope! It's a fun song with a cool beat ya know. I just can't help but dance to it.

Ditto. But then, I like:

The Pope
Jughead
Wedding Feast
Courtin' Time
Work That Fat

and all those other similar funny songs.....

(why do people keep their sense of humor when, Picasso or the Beatles, for example, screw around, but with Prince everyone's serious and it's always gotta be "genius"...)

I kinda like the song...it is not one of my favorites but Mayte sings backup. Mayte worship.

i looove this song!
sure its not a work of genious or something, but its cool song

i like the song. in very small doses.

I don't see what these songs have to do with each other...? "Courtin' Time" is "a funny song" because it's swing?
