The Search for the Most Obnoxious Prince Song! We all have a favourite, we all have a least favourite, but I ask you...
Which Prince song is the most obnoxious? I'm not just talking about the songs you don't like - I'm talking about the one single song that, when it comes on, makes you wanna pull your speakers out the box and throw 'em out the window! Can we crown one song as the most obnoxious ever? My vote: We Gets Up. |

I really don't enjoy Da, da, da and Condition of the Heart
but not because they are "obnoxious" I don't think there is any song by Prince that would make me destroy my precious speakers  If you will, so will I | |

Hmmmmm.. my vote is for "right the wrong"! 
The completely flippant melody doesn't fit with the mature lyrics at all. To me it really comes across as obnoxious. RIGHT THE WRONG (from C&D) ----- An Indian woman buried her grampa in the Black Hills When she was young he used to tell her That these hills belonged to her still And even though injustice took them hills away "One day we'll get them back," he said "And the sun's gonna shine that day" "When we say, right the wrong" Before she laid him down to rest She heard his voice in the wilderness Sayin "I got six feet of it back" "And now we can right the wrong" Right the wrong Hear the song Before long U won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames Right the wrong Hear the song Would u rather die knowing that u did or keep living in shame Did you hear the one about the boy just 17 Three years hard time for stealing ice cream First offence and all his dreams are gone How long before they right the wrong? Right the wrong Hear the song Before long U won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames Right the wrong Hear the song Would u rather die knowing that u did or keep living in shame Right the wrong 2, 3, uh 1, 2, 1-2, come on (Right the wrong baby) Far be it from me to say It seem like we could stop the flow of snow in the sky today But I guess the weather man he likes the rain Ain't that insane Now sing Right the wrong Hear the song Before long U won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames Right the wrong Hear the song Would u rather die knowing that u did or keep living in shame? (Come on, come on, come on) Did you hear me baby? Right the wrong I'm 6 feet in the grave I'm 6 feet in the grave (right right, right right) (right the wrong right the wrong) (right the wrong right the wrong) Right the wrong (right the wrong right the wrong) (right the wrong right the wrong) (right the wrong right the wrong) (right the wrong right the wrong) Right the wrong (right the wrong right the wrong) Ashes to ashes, dust to dust (right the wrong right the wrong) This young man with a talented soul (right the wrong right the wrong) Died when he wanted 2. (right the wrong right the wrong) The [life/light]that lives (right the wrong right the wrong) So he shall not be pitied Nor shall the guity be forgiven Until they find it in their hearts to Right the wrong "All of me  give 2 thee down at your feet ...

Animal Kingdom - If I wanna eat meet I will
Right The Wrong - 
Annie Christian - Dunno why but it makes me feel sick Life Can Be Son Nice - see same reaction as above The Vault - with the exception of Extraordinary And any song that even suggests that Prince has had a hard life or in anyway can relate to slavery or the struggle of everyday balck people against racism...that guy has lived a life more comfortable and white that the Milky Bar kid. He's like those upper-class twats that go around working class bars to see what 'the other side' live like | |

"We Gets Up" is irritating to me... it just doesn't have any coolness to me.... more so because of the shoutouts sections... "Npg" My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

Jughead and Da,Da,Da immediately come to mind. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Obnoxious: Push It Up ummm....I would just be embarassed if my friends were in the car and that came on. They would say Prince is trying too hard to be cool and I would be like Straight Jacket Funk Affair

Are you completely ignorant to the struggles of the black community in America? How it was nigh on impossible for a young, black man, (particularly rock-guitarist in predominantly white Minneapolis) to even be given an opportunity, let alone to achieve the kind of things Prince has done. Clearly, you are! Prince may have the good life now (in fiscal terms - despite his money, there has still been tragedy in his life, as with anyone), but he worked for it and from a difficult, not priveleged, background. Just looks like you have a rather large chip on your shoulder..... Anyways, Grafitti Bridge makes me come close to trashing my stereo, but not quite  [Edited 6/13/05 12:33pm] ...we have only scratched the surface of what the mind can do...

[Edited 6/13/05 12:33pm] i gotta sorta agree to an extent with purpledoveuk...prince seemed to come from a middle-class upbringing....he chose not to live at home, correct? because of family issues? and the one family who took him in and cared for him, he ended up screwing over their son.... right out the bat the man recieved a recording contract.....hence him coming off as a spoiled brat..even up to today....

That's my pick too. Makes me wanna slap him then shake him real hard. Talk about wrecking a nerve! I think My Name Is Prince is pretty cool. I mean, behind it's desperate desire to hit hard, it is a pretty fun track. It is an obvious attempt at the self-reverential hyperbole of rap, but it comes off so much better. Maybe I just like it for it's tackiness.  Don't worry, I can't get pregnant - my ovaries are diseased...... | |

PEACH. I can't stand that song. I think the line about bouncin' titties is especially obnoxious. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |
