it's just a crazy music idea... don't hassle it man, it soon picks up into that funky sesame street groove for the fade out... unless you have the 12"

It is not analyse to much, Prince as a musican see what Gary is sayign as a really simple thing.

Exaclyy. smile

I never "analyzed" it ( or even "thought it was odd") until someone posted on here that it was "out of sync".

I always just thought it was a cool kind of syncopation he was doing. But to answer the person who brought it up, I sat and listened to it to break it down and explain it in what I hoped were simple terms.

My personal opinion is. It's just Prince trying to do something different. This should NOT be a surprise to any Prince fan. The Mountains video is funny when Jerome, Wally and Brooks are doing the Snake at the end.

Totally agree.

I was just trying to say it's not THAT different..... it's just a minor syncopation in the drum track that just changes it up for a few seconds..... but it's not realy "f*cked up" as the title of this thread suggested. (i.e. he doesn't go into some crazy ass time signature ....which some artists do from time to time as well).
