Still my favourite B-Side.

And BigBootyLover, if you're listening to this track on The B-Sides, you're only getting half the picture.

Seek out the full-length version of this song... you'll thank me later. wink

I like the song, but it feels like it was written in just a few minutes. Also, the humourous vibe seems to not quite fit the sad vibe.

Actully, if I'm going to play some Christmas songs I think 4 The Tears in your Eyes, while not specifically about Christmas, fits the Christmas spirit better.

Another Lonely Christmas is on my Bah Humbug--the irreverent mix-- cd including:

Father Christmas--The Kinks
Christmastime in Hell--South Park
A Lonely Jew on Christmas--South Park
The Chaunnakah Song--Sandler
Oh Holy Night--Cher

and a couple others

Now, 4 The Tears In Your Eyes sounds more contrived and cold than Another Lonely Xmas. It lacks feeling.

If you-- you being a generalization here-- can't dig the latter then something's wrong with your ears. biggrin

The full-length version of Another Lonely Christmas is the b-side of the 12" I Would Die 4 U... it's approximately 6:56 in length, and every second is worth it - particularly at the end.

Seek it out through the nefarious channel of your choice, but be warned: once you've heard it, you'll never be able to listen to the edited version on The B-Sides again! biggrin

Now that I look back on it this might be the song that cemented Prince's greatness in my mind. It's one of the most heartfelt, unique songs I've heard. Pure Prince.
