shit song

While the song is not that bad....it is a straigt ripp-off of The Steve Miller band's "The Joker".....I don't know if you all remember that song, it came out in the 70's. Prince must have listened to it while he was recording, "Blue Light" cause it sounds just like it...down to the guitar whistle... I must say though, that what ever genre he touches, he makes a good attempt at it.

I love this song. I don't think it's a top 20 Prince song though.
I'm a big fan of that whole album.
5th favorite album of Prince's

The Joker?? are u serious?? LOLOLOL...some of u stretch some serious BS up in here.


Since when did Steve Miller's song have an island caribbean flavor?? U betta ask somebody.

It's one of the few songs on that album that I actually like!!!

like the song. A music group from Hawaii did a cover of it (Prince's version is better, of course)

Tell me you're not serious.

shorttrini said:

no no no no no. while your at it you don't you say it's a rip off of eye of the tiger.

shorttrini said:

and especially as you enjoy graffiti bridge more than his other albums

Ok so its poor as far as a reggae track goes...I mean its not going to convert anyone to listening to Bob Marley at 10CC.

However lyrically its got some nice bits and is of a style you dont alway hear (if at all)...you get teh I lOve You songs, the I used to love you songs etc etc....but Ive never heard a 'We're on a slippery slope that needs sorting out' track

Some of my fav snippets are in this song...the way it breaks right down for the "....and I'll be standing naked with nothing but a smile on".

The whole album is often one I find myself rediscovering now and again...infact you've just inspired me to dig it out again

i dunno where to begin: the fact that you like gb, or the fact that you think "blue light" is one of prince's best tracks. "bl" ain't my cup of tea, man.


there's a big ol' gallery here, y'know. click and ye shall find.

shorttrini said:

Well, you made me download The Joker, and I thank you. It's a cool song, but to compare it to Blue Light... it's not even close!

They sound nothing alike.

And you can say what you want about Blue Light... it's a lot more creative than The Joker, and in my opinion, much better.

Blue Light is "okay". It's one of those songs that you listen to if you're too far from the remote. It also makes for some good background music if you're cooking and cleaning... or taking a shit.

lol... seriously, it's cool. Average. A sweet tale... and makes you wonder what it's like to be old and horny.

I can't ever imagine losing my sex drive. Indeed, I'll be 117 also... with my baby still sayin' "Not tonight". The same way she does now! LOL

I love the song .

Love this song. The Hawaiian version was Eh.

Only morons spend money on Evian when the water from the tap is free.

Hey I happen to like "Blue Light". As for the similarities to "The Joker", Steve Miller said so himself.....so don't kill the messenger.

well, i think its a good song!!!! and g bridge is a good album, we can funk, shake, new power generation, release it and thieves in the temple are all great songs!!

If you were so smart, you'd know that's a line from the song.

novabreaker was being a bit sarcastic there.
