I adore this song.

I've always thought it sounds very similar to Damn U, in terms of arrangement and tempo. so much so, that one could even simply replace Damn U on the album.

even the bridge-esque part (or whatever it's called), which incidentally is my favourite part of the song.

"I've always loved you,
Like the stars will love the moon..." etc.

c.f. "Like animals, just born to breed..." etc. from Damn U.


so any-hoo, anyone dig this tune / know anything about whether it was considered for inclusion in the album?

Couple of months back some wanker lent me a CD that had this song on...it's delicate, cool and has a feel 2 it reminiscent of 'Sweet Baby' from the 1992 album.

i really feel this is very much more along the lines of Damn U than Sweet Baby, anyway.

sweet baby's slightly more upbeat.

sorry had 2 answer that. that was prince..wanted 2 know if I was still gonna do a guest deep voice commentary all over his new album.

by the way..asked him about the song and yeah....more like sweet baby

Prick!

Yes, "Poor Little Bastard" is in many ways the early, reworked version of "Damn U". The motifs are almost identical at many parts and so are the arrangements.

"Poor Little Bastard" wasn't meant to be included on the 0(+> album itself. It was meant for another project, which was the discarded soundtrack for a movie called "I'll Do Anything" (starring Nick Nolte). For instance, "The Rest Of My Life" and "My Little Pill" were proposed for the project as well. You should hear something of a similiar feel about those three tracks.

Prince doesn't know a goddamn thing.

i mean, he was going to release that crappy jazz version of Come instead of the funky earlier version.



oh, wait.

Do you think you could take your revelations elsewhere?

TheFrogSpawn said:

Yeah! I'll take them right up your ass!

TheFrogSpawn said:

Anyhoo, I gotta shoot. Catch you later, bitch.

This is still a really shit thread.

I do my best but all my threads end up lame.

I tongue my own ass.

TheFrog said:

Actually I don't have much of an ass.

TheFrog said:

Awwww, poor little bastard.

So do you like the song, anyway?

TheFrogSpawn said:

No. I don't like Prince.
