Could "Girl" the 12" be the most embarrassing song?

this song sounds like the fodder of all the comedy routines, the imitators, etc.... I'm listening to the Madhouse online radio station here at work, I said I wanted to leave early and they put it on for me to keep me longer.

NO WAY! Girl is from the glorious time of amazing B sides. Nothing embarrasing about it at all!! not even close! It's the type of song that completely differentiated Prince from other artists and helped establish a very hardcore set of fans. It's not meant to be for the casual top 40 pop listener, but if you want to have a full picture of what Prince was about during the 80s, the B sides provide it.

It has a unique drum program only Prince could have created at the time.

I wish more and more Prince songs stepped into the trippy feel of the GIRL 12".

Playful and quirky. P at his best

"Girl" is great. But if you're looking for an embarrassing Prince song, allow me to introduce you to track #16:

"Caress the flower
Warm, warm
Bring it to the garden
The garden
Be poetic
Tell me what it feels like...
A sea of electricity?
Now that's wonderful
Talk 2 u? talk 2 u?
What do u wanna hear?"

sad I've never heard the whole 12" version, but I think the version on the B-sides is beautiful. You quoted my favorite lines...I absolutely love his voice with he says the lines I bolded.

rose
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

I love Girl tis a truly great track.
It should have made The album. ATWIAD.




"Girl" was in fact an earlier track, a leftover from the "1999" era which was resurrected as a B-side.

Prince left it pretty much intact, which probably explains why it would not have fit within the context of ATWIAD.
