It's the only song on the album that Prince played real drums on.
He beat the hell out of that set! Great song.

It never connected with me. It's not awful, but I just don't like it.

I always loved this song. When ATWIAD came out, it was sometime singled out as an example of what was wrong with the album, and I couldn't understand. Here's a slice of Prince music that sounds as spontaneous and playful as virtually any other song he has recorded, but that has the additional virtue of being unassuming.

Yup.

It's about vaginas, so the theme is one borrowed from countless other songs (scarlett pussy, Sugar Walls, The Cross); however, it's very funky!

Oh LAWD, you said My Draws (phonetic spelling). Thank U!I have not heard that one in way too long (wrong @ss people steal tapes n stuff)

Also on the to be cranked loud list (cuz Tambouri-eeeeen is too fonky...bass is SLAMMIN), Sexy MF. Lady Cab Driver too. Bass and drums akickin.

Oh who started this? Way too many to list.

But yes, Tamboreeen! If u don't want to shake that @ss, shake that @ss, something is quite wrong. It makes you pull some dance moves you didn't think you had!

Thanks again ...

Have to agree. This goes in my top 5 nastiest stank drawers type funk that Prince does. Number One of course is Cloreen Bacon Skin.
