my favourite song

my favourite 12"

erm just to let you know!

You have very good taste.

I'D RATHER HEAR THE FLIP SIDE

God did i hate having to fast forward to listen to this track, but it was worth it.

that's because you haven't listened to it.

Just saw the vid last weekend on the VH-1 Prince video marathon last week. Great song from a great LP.

"I Wish U Heaven" -- top three Prince song of all time!

Reason why it doesn't make #1:
A) it is too short
B) the second verse (rhyming seven, eleven, and heaven) is lame

Reasons why it is in top 3 of Prince's greatest songs:
A) the distorted guitar chunking away behind the verse,
B) the grungy guitar line buried beneath the chorus is remarkable,
C) the first verse is fantastic,
D) falsetto voice

I have listened to "I Wish U Heaven" a billion times and I still love it. It is timeless in its greatness.

part 2 and part 3 (Take This Beat) are fine stuff.

I never knew there was a part two and three till about a year ago. Gee how lame am I?! Hey gimme a break, I'm only 17 and I was born when Lovesexy came out. It is an awesome track though.


I still have to pick the 12" up so I can hear parts two and three.

Nah, I've had to sit through it plenty of times.]

Eminem killers playing mickey mouse games and the whole nine.

I LOVE lovesexy, annastesia, and glam slam--- whenever i get to dance on, its like--


Get it over with already.

Not that i haven't listened, it's personal tastes.

The weakest track on Lovesexy in my opinion, very simple lyrics, nothing spectacular, but i somehow like the way the beat / guitarriff progress on this track. I never heard the 12 inch, but the album version is nice, but nothing more,

Glam Slam is a way better pop / rock-track in my opinion (some call it cheesy, i consider it one of his best melodies, majestic, 'heavenly', and also very nicely arranged).

Thats one thing i agree to agree w/u on-- that song is infectious, i don't care that ppl call it cheeze.

Fine stuff? They're !!!

This is so weird, I have just played the EP it on my stereo.

ITS WONDERFUL. The beat is fanstastic.

I can never make my mind up what I feel about the 12" of IWUH.


Sometimes, I really dig it, and other times it bores me.


I think I have to be in a Lovesexy kind of mood to get into it.

I Really love this song, my favorite on love sexy

loisclark88 said:

Umm...not as lame as me, apparently. I just found out about parts 2 and 3 reading this thread.

Glam Slam has the kind of gorgeous, majestic melody that just propels you into 'heaven'...

I wish u heaven is quite boring filler.

Thats the difference.

Riverpoet31 said:

To each their own, but I think IWUH is one of the best tracks on the album. Especially the extended version.

The video, however, is murder-suicide.

The title of this song remindes me of something my mother would say.

Org Note me.....I have 2 Copies I am willing to Sell.

I love this song. But yes you do have to be in a Lovesexy kind of mood !!!

I love the lyrics...

If I see 11
U can say it's 7
Still I wish U heaven

It's great.

pepper7 said:

its a cool track , those lyrics can be seen as really silly I guess but they are genius , its him saying "i can happily take on board your viewpoint/opinion even though it disagrees with mine ,I'll still wish you all the happiness in the world" in a really simple and concise way , I think .

Co-sign! and it's also worth it because When 2 r in love is right before it

moonshine said:

Yep I agree. It really helps to bear those lyrics in mind when you're annoyed with someone.
