Shitty song.

It's this kind of overblown, unnecessary filler that hurts prince...along with Kirstie Alley and the whole underaged Mayte thing.

You see, that's what I used to think (forget Tony M though, Mayte's little vocal part in 3 Chains O Gold is the worst five seconds of any Prince song PERIOD)... but I like Arrogance now. It's packed with energy and the bass in the chorus is funky!

Only track I can't really listen to anymore is "Morning Papers"--too Elton Johnish.

The Morning Papers sounds like some sort of creepy fantasy a perverted old man plays over in his head.

Blue Light - A great little ditty...and probably where TLC got the idea for "Red Light Special" from

The Morning Papers - Great cut "We could contemplate the entire universe on just 1 star"...gotta love that 'panty-gettin' line! razz

Damn U - Another killer slowy from his long list of slowies

Sexy MF - Probably his funkiest cut ever

Love 2 the 9s - Nice vocal arrangement over soem nice drums

And God Created Woman - Great ode to women

3 Chains of Gold - Nice ode to Queen

That's a damn nice album.
Desire, it covers our faces
It happens in curious places
Your body, it covers my tower
Ecstasy is ours

prince is a great album, one of my favorites. Arrogance is a take it or leave it song for me. The Flow is the one song where I make it a point to skip it. I agree with all of you who say that the segues and Kirstie Alley's bits are distracting but it's still a killer of an album.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Why's no-one mentioning how great Sweet Baby is?

The vocal arrangments on that one are divine.

Also, do you think that ugly people are God's cruel joke on humanity (like the platypus and the heterosexual) or another form of population control?
