so what do you guys think of the song "supercute"?
i think it's a great tune. somewhere in the middle
of the late 90s Prince and the Prince that was to
come with "The Rainbow Children".

it sounds a lot warmer and more organic than a lot
of the other efforts of around that time and just
before.

plus, the lyrics, they're different from most
songs and are more Prince-y than a lot of other
stuff released at the time.

especially the part of the vibrator is risque
up to about as far as he can go without having
to censor himself lol.

to go short: I love this song


She arrived on a 74
About 20 to 11
She comes to see him, him as in me
She comes to see
And it's never complicated
Other women cannot fade it
Whenever I call
She gets dressed up and all
Supercute

CHORUS
Maybe it's cause she comes from East L.A.
But every time I see her body on display
I gotta call her name from the DJ booth
Strobe light flash and you know the truth
Baby got game, she'll take your loot
Keys to the crib with no dispute
See her dancing in her birthday suit - Supercute

Together we wonder how we got enslaved and why
(It's time to get freedom for our people)
Jericho falls when we all discern the lie
Yo, why the man wanna lie?
I look at her eyes go wild, she smiles - Supercute

CHORUS

On a dare I wanna see if she will share
The kinda toys she uses when I'm not there
None at all she swears
I don't care
(I don't care )

I make her buy another one
And a new dress to wear

(vibrator noise)

Goes the toy against her curly hair
Now she must confess
How she really like to play
Or if she don't, I lower the speed
And bad words she'll say
Tell me how you play, how you play

Even in her anger she's still
Supercute

CHORUS

Shake it around
When you see her dancing
in her birthday suit

- Supercute



I want more new music from the npgmc now

Yay - I like this song. Especially when I'm taking a relaxed drive.

it's a good car songs, yes.

Nice little thing!
What do you think about Vavoom? Have rediscovered that one lately as well.

Oh! I thought this thread was going to be about me.

PurpleKnight said:

What's so "hip hop" about it?
It's a flawless pop song, IMO. Nothing more, nothing less.

BTW, "When I lay my hands on u" is great, too! Some nice stuff on "The Chocolate Invasion", actually.

IstenSzek said:

I agree.



Me three! It's just fucking lovable, plain and simple. How can you not dig it?

LOVE this song. It was the first song to catch my attention from The Chocolate Invasion. I love the whole album.

i'm willing to start one just for you

PurpleKnight said:

it doesn't sound like hip hop to me at all. this song is all
about those guitar flourishes that run all the way through it.
and the nice vocal harmonies and clever lyrics.

i compare it more to "when i lay my hands on u" and some of
the other more princely songs than i would to hiphop lyte..

PurpleKnight said:

IF Prince played "cheap" hip-hop, Supercute would NOT b an xample of it.
It's just another 1 of those letters, Isten.

love

It's an excellent friving song I co-sign. Yet, the entire Chocolate Invasion album is off the chain! The Dance, Underneath the Cream, Supercute, Judas Smile, When Eye Lay My Hands, Vavoom, High, it keeps goin. Awesome little known treat from Prince.

Albums like this are what makes him great, because no one knows about it. He could dominate the 'industry' and not write a single word or pick up a guitar pik.

You're Absolutely Right! The whole CD is off the hook. Love Super Cute

good song, listen to it in the car all the time....

Love it!

Love ittt!

Lovvvvve it!

It's such a funnnn and playful song!

The bouncy groove even makes my grandmama dance!

IstenSzek said:

that's probably because Supercute isn't a song. I'm confused by the distinction that you are attemting to make as it seems irrelevent. and I'm not trying to start anything, I just don't know what you are trying to say or what point you are trying to make with this comment.

it doesn't sound like a song because it isn't.

it was written by and later billed as a "prince" song,
which goes to show how he tought about it himself.

it was un -ly



if a "rave" outtake were released today and credited to
"prince", would it be a prince song or a song?



"The Dance" is credited to Prince on the chocolate invasion
yet it was written during the emancipation sessions by


I'm not trying to "start" anything either, but i think that
the differences in sound and composing between Prince &
are quite obvious.

He got tired with the whole thing. Once the time had
come to go back to Prince, he wanted the best songs to be
released under the "Prince" moniker and no longer under the
guise of

Yeah, I like this cool little ditty, but there was such varying quality around this time, if I remember correctly.

This cut and 2045 - Radical Man are great! But then you also had "High" (just plain awful) and My Medallion - I really couldn't get on with those at all

the whole album is banging, i absolutely adore it.

so much variety in the playlist.

start to end, non skips, just like 1999

It's a supertrack.

i love the 1920's chorus

brilliant observation.... kind of like Tick Tick Bang, or The unreleased Glam SLam '91....


Supercute is a gem. A solid prince "single" type of song.
