Well, i am in a large room with no light, but i think the song "If you see me" would have been a hit, had it been released.

Now - it just entered my mind....anybody cares for hits? I don´t, honestly. wink
Love...thy will b done

Prince recorded a version of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (I'm not lying) and it would have gotten a LOT of attention, but would it have been a hit? Probably not.


How do you know that?

"Extra Loveable" with some toned down lyrics. It would have been bigger than Erotic City, in the night clubs.

I Wonder

There are not that many unreleased tracks that don't have some drawback from a commercial radio standpoint. Electric Intercourse is a great song, but do I think it could have been released instead of, say, Take Me With U? Tipper Gore had a problem with a line about masturbation -- imagine a title. Songs like Witness 4 the Prosecution are probably too ambitious artistically. But then, there are songs like I Wonder which just scream "single!". I suspect Prince thought it was too simple for him. I'm a little surprised he didn't recycle it on Emancipation or Rave.

I like the way it "climbs"

I's a great one.

When people can hear through the terrible quality (of the circulating recording), I think that says something about a song's strength.

Who cares if it was a hit or not? It still should've been a single.

If I Was Your Girfriend wasn't much of a hit, either. But it's one of his best singles.
