Cornier song: "Strays of the world" or "Grafitti Bridge"

Okay bitches. I'm on my way to work for the night, so here's some shit fo ya'll until i get home. Which song is cornier? I can't decide. I mean, SOTW is fucking gay as hell, but GB is also shitty. So which one can you do without?

Graffiti Bridge is far more gay than Strays of the World.

I'm gay. I should know.

well "Strays of the World" is the better track here.
at least it has some cool moments. all in all it is
a bit ott, but still a good track.
but perhaps i'm rather too partial becuz it has some
"dolphin"-esque qualities to it, the way it starts
and the pop-rock kind of bridges and all.
and since Dolphin is one of my top 10 prince tunes I
can't help but love Strays as well
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

For some reason, I love "strays". So Grafitti Bridge gets my vote. But, just to add into the mix, is "3 Chains O Gold" cornier than both of these tracks??

Grafitti Bridge by far. I would have called it a draw a year ago but I heard it at a friends house and it finally hit me as to how beautiful the song. Now I like it and listen to it instead of pressing the skip button once it comes on.
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

Strays of the World just happens to be one of my favorite songs. lol

Seriously.

It's so great for all the outcast, on-the-fringe souls out there.

I have a theory (since I always mishear lyrics ... ) that instead of saying all ye boys and girls ... that he REALLY sings "Strays of the world, strays of the world. I am one of you-ou." It really sounds like it.

I'm sure Prince has always felt like a stray soul and this is his ode to those feelings pray

I kinda like Dolphin, but Strays of The World is terrible. Even the title is pretentious and over the top. GB is kinda cheesy but Prince pulled it off-- barely.

hmmm

Both songs are pretty damn corny IMO...but most of his music is only worth one listen too!


I think Prince's whole career is corny....I'm just here for the booty.... nod
t you to frogive me. or even believe me. But I am truly sorry. What I said was out of character for me. Even if this is "just the internet"

They are both quite awful. Not sure which one is worse. Graffitti Bridge is probably my choice...it has a very odd chorus and melody. FOr a title track...it's pretty weak. Srtays is ok...sorta pretty in it's own way. He doesn't do bombast music very well...they always sound too over the top.
