Power Fantastic

After having purchased the Hits/B-Sides for the third cd alone, i've kept getting the feeling that i've heard about another version of this song. Is there another version of this song?

As an added note, fantastic tune.

Your beauty i'd still see.

Actually, the bootlegged version starts with an extra minute-plus improv at the beginning of Power Fantastic. Some 'leggers list it as a separate track with names like "Paris" or "Miles".


Hello!? I answered your question!!

But Prince sang it like he was the last man left on Earth. That's what elevates whatever this moment was above and beyond everything else he's achieved, even All My Dreams. wink

I heard that the music was used for a Wendy and Lisa tune. Did Prince change it at all or is it basically the same with new lyrics?

You might be thinking of Mountains.

He might also be thinking about Carousel.

The fact that nobody even questions the title tells you how good the song is. Either that or they don't care. smile

I actually was thinking of "Carousel", but I've never heard it. Is the music the same on both songs?

I've been trying to get myself to like this song for an eternity and just can't seem to be able. I don't get all the buzz.
