One of his best songs EVER IMO...

Better than My Name Is Michael Jackson

yea, but i love this song too..i think that it's really great, but i don't know about underrated...i think that the whole album in itself is genius. the beats are amazing and totally get me excited. and the ballads are so hot. everything seems like there was a lot of effort put into it.

The album is a classic! IMO

One of my favs

Agreed.

GoldenGlove said:

I agree, but the rapping at the end should have been deleted. I'm glad I have the "Muerto Mix". It has no rapping by that Tony M. guy, or whatever his name is.

I don't like Tony M's rapping but I love that line of his

"To be a king you gotta be a prince first anyways"

lol so cheesy but I love it

I likey this song .....


My name is Prince, and I am funky.....

its full of passion.. the whole album is i reckon.

same with the gold experience.. a lot of passion went into these 2 albums.

I lost my virginity after listening to this song. So yeah, it has a special place in my heart. I love it, so many sounds in this song, the chaos is just perfect.

That's not true,¨Pandurito, I've told this disgusting news in one of my first posts at this site ever. The question was 'which song has a sentimental value to you'. I know the answer is strange but it's true. I met this boy at a Prince-concert, back in the day.

This is perhaps the only song where I don't mind Prince rapping.

I loved the cockiness of this song instantly.

Waayy better than "I'm Mike Jones" or "My name is ... Slim Shady"

"When you hear my music you'll be having fun. That's when I've got you, that's when you're mine. To tell the truth-- tell me what's my line? Ow! MY NAME IS PRINCE!"

I love the album, and I don't mind the song as much as when I first heard it.

But it's still not so good, in my book. "When it comes to funk, I am a junkie"....

It's almost like him slapping you in the face with his (COCK) knowledge that he is the shit!!! Brilliant!

I don't know if I would call it one of his best but damn it that song is HOT!

I've always liked this song! He should have played it live when he started using his name again

The song is alright but Tony M.'s rap at the end is longer than the drum solo in "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". Shutup already...damn!

GREAT song! Love it!!!!

Crap song

You are right, the album was great!

The song "My name is Prince" was crap. Shortly after that, he abandoned his name. It's hard to like a song that wasn't ultimately supported by the vary artist that created it.

Plus, I hated the screaming of "AAAAhhhhhAHHH" in the chorus. It really grated on my nerves and stands-out whenever I think of the song or play it.

Maybe he should re-do the song, after all his name IS Prince again. And there is NO ONE else like him....

have you heard the my name is Bart (simpson) version?

agreed...

True

I always find myself singing this. I do not think it's underated though. When you recite the lyrics you realize it's one of the most simple songs Prince has written. I do like it & think it is a good opening song for this album.
