This is my favorite Prince song. His passion for music is so obvious in his vocal tone, it's what's missing in today's joke of a music scence as far as the mainstream is concerned. I fuckin' love this song.

Finally someone eles who sees the beauty of this song. I always thought it was one of the darkest, erotic, interesting songs Prince has ever done. I used to listen to it on my cassette walkman on the city bus, staring out the window dreaming I had a different life. What a great song.

1 of my favorite songs on SOTT album. It is the shit man. I can relate 2 that song and the lyrics, cuz all I wanna do is do it all the damn time. I love the camile style voice that makes the song that much better, even I'd love the song anyway. This song is the shit man. Sweet as hell.

Thank U
Peace AlwaysO(+>

It's my favorite song on the "Sign O The Times" album. It sounds like the "old Prince".

d00d, lemme just get this outta the way before someone else does it: fuckin' on yo mind...

"it" pops up as an ohrwurm every once in a while for me.

I LOVE..... "It"!!! in the SOTT movie when it's played together with "Forever In My Life" - yeah, I believe Prince also played "It" incorporated in "Thieves In The Temple" on the D&P Tour?!!! - so f*cking GREAT!

It's my favorite song on SOTT too-- at least one of them. People sleep on this song but it's brilliant in it's simplicity. (or something like that).

Love this song.

I never understood why so many people felt it was one of the weaker moments on SOTT. I've loved it since first listen! I thought it was brilliant of Prince to use it as the background beat to When Doves Cry is 86 as well.

Historically, a lot of people have slated this track as one of the weakest on SOTT.

After Ballad of Dot, I think a song like this is needed. I think it's perfectly sequenced.

The orchestral stabs are so completely of the time, and it has beautiful pacing, something that people don't often pick up on, pacing is very important.

Then comes the alarm! And Starfish & Coffee, it really is genius!

its an interesting experiment but as a song it only holds up because of the inspired vocal.

2nd only to slow love as weakest track on SOTT

Prince fans will always try to find the substance in material like this. Although if almost any other artist did it, it would be panned as 'drivel'. By his standard, there is nothing interesting or inspired about this song. Like a few other tracks on 'Side 2', had it been omitted 'SOTT' would have been a flawless recording.

This song rocks


For years,I've always insisted that this should have been a single.It would have been a huge pop hit.I love that hard,pulsating beat.

I agree. Plus, people should listen to this song carefully on their
headphones. Especially the latter part where his voice sounds soooo
distant and far away and distorted. That is absolutely genius. Took
me about 30 listens before I realised it was not just a guitar that
followed the vocal track, but that it was the actual vocal itself..
I read somewhere that he hooked up the mic to the guitar-line-in or
something like that to get that effect.
Anywho very cool song and yes, it fits perfectly in the sequence of
the album just like you said! I wouldn't trade it for any other cut

ive always hated this song... ugghh! i think its one of the worst on sott.

i want to divorce my parents now. i hope you didnt hear about the time i wore my tmbgiw outfit to school photo day.

Christopher said:

I did. I thought you looked cute!

You looked just like Prince, but

without the deathlike 94 palor

Does anyone remember that fanmade remix of this song, that
surfaced after the Rave interviews.
It contained a line Prince said in one of the interviews he
gave for the Rave album

"U can cut that..any way U want 2...it's the Truth"
I liked that remix a lot, but alas, I can't find it no more
