LOLITA

Lolita is the most fun i've had listening to a Prince song in years. It's like a walk down memory lane, it's way influenced by early Prince. It would have been on one of the The Time albums back in the day possibly.


What do you think?

Your lost, definitely...

And I agree, extremely fun and catchy, and it IS a cross between "Soft & Wet" and "Cool"..lol..hadn't thought of that before.

isn't that usually a hallmark of a really good P-tune? Do you play do me baby the album version in it's entirety with other ppl around? sister? jack u off? head? hehe

as soon as i heard it i thought of cool. its just a fun, catchy pop song. if you need it to be anything else, try taking life a little less serious.

i like it a lot. there are some songs on the album that
i doubt i'll listen to after the initial rush wears off
but Lolita ain't one of them.

very cool tune indeed.

I'm not really hearing the Soft and Wet connection.

It's the bouncy push-and-pull rhythm that propels each of these songs...they're very similar.

it's all in the bounciness.

I thought it was in the softness and the wetness.

this is starting to sound like a baby wipe commercial now...

Byron said:

Ok, I think I can hear the similarites now.

damnit i just played Soft & Wet and Lolita back2back

but since Soft&Wet is not yet remastered i cranked
up the volume to 78 to hear it clearly but forgot,
yes indeed, to turn the volume down for Lolita

my neighbours may have had a heart attack lol.

The patented Prince Bounce... (with a slice of sharp cheddar thrown on top lol)

Byron said:

it's what i call the "breathe and stop" bounce.

then q-tip made a song called exactly that and
it wasn't my thing anymore
