Songs that you love but would never listen to with your mates out of embarrassment

Naturally any ballad is not something you crank up with your buddies, but I mean songs that would especially get you some strange looks

I will go first (in no order)

Silly Game
Strollin
Do U Lie
The Dance

No such animal. I'd never be embarrassed listening to prince.....except maybe jughead.

I Love U In Me

too easy...Pink Cashmere baby! I start singing (and all loud and off key, trying to hit the high notes). Damn, I would hate for someone to see me when i was all up in it.

LOL!!!! Ditto that...

Some of my buds just won't listen to it. Period. I can put the heaviest song I can think of and they'll still make me change it. I guess they're just not as comfortable with their masculinity as myself. That's what I try to tell them too, but still, they just aren't having it. It's a shame really. Oh well, fug 'em.

My Love Is Forever....When he goes, "forever and ever and ever and ever and yeah!" before he rips into the guitar solo....that gets me every time. My buddies just wouldn't understand.

I love that song too. I think he was like 16 when he wrote and played that song. Unbelievable..

None, my friends and I listened to them all. Espec the ballads.

My friend would make a all star ballad tape, and we would play it on the double dates. The girls would always be like what the hell is this crap?!

It was always sweet though, because by the time the tape was over they were like what song was that?

[b][i]Comeback-Wherever u are-condition of the heart-Damn u- 2 many 2 mention!!!

"You gonna catch me dead before you catch me doing anything other than the jughead...N.....P.....G"

Oh yes I love this song especially where Prince bites off of Bell Biv Devoe that's my favorite part!

Hmmm...

Goodbye
Silly Game
Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do
Te Amo Corazon


Why is all Prince's sappy, corny shit from the post-95 era?

Well, I subject my friends to alot. buuuuut,



GoodLove

Half the songs from Emancipation

Every girl I dated knew I was into prince so it was never a guilty pleasure 4 me. In fact I have converted many to prince fans over the years.

Yeah, I would have to list Goodbye also.

Just thinking about having my male friends over to watch some hoops etc. and throwing on a mixed tape of these just has me laughing uncontrollably.

I remember way back in the day listening to the Batman soundtrack and when Arms of Orion came on my buddies were like,
"What the f--- is this crap?" and t, I have to say, they were right. Never liked it since.
Although I do have to say I did hear it once last year in my car (on my own) and I started singing along.
Man is that song embarassing!

hey because of that song I know where the sea of tranquilty is.

I remember a friend who didn't really understand my Prince fascination-appreciation. I took him to a concert and he saw all the beautiful women and I think he started to somewhat get it.

...Just as Long as We're Together, My Love is Forever, Private Joy.

ive got no guilty pleasures

i love me all of p's jams-

believe me coming from the north east and being a p fan for 20 years ive heard it all

fuck em-if the lads come round ill whack on 'my little pill' WITH THE QUICKNESS!

Graffiti Bridge (the song), and i REALLY dont feel guilty about it.

Of course, in some ways its a cheesy song, corny lyrics, something to end an broadway musical with (should that matter, by the way?)
bot on the other hand:

The arrangement of this song is great, the mixture of interweaving vocals, guitar and orchestra sending shivers trough my spine every time i listen to this song

The guitar soloing is really top notch, people who praise live renditions of Fury and While my guitar gently weeps should just listen to this song

This song has a great melody, 90 percent of Princes songs since 1995 are lacking one.

Yeah I can see it now me and my carnales rollin' down Crenshaw bumpin'

Starfish & Coffee
Delirious
Do U Lie
Tick, Tick, Bang
Poom Poom

... yeah I'd get my Machismo Card revoked for sure!

Dude you just made me almost blow coffee out my nose

How about pulling up to the stop light with your buddies, windows down, blaring ...


Let's have a baby

Oh crap! Can you imagine!??? Then following up with a little...

My Love Is 4ever "Never ever stop lovin' you, Never ever get enough of you..."

EEk!!! And the fact that I can quote those lyrics off the cuff... I should revoke myself!

But hey, the truth is I JAM that song when I'm in the ride by myself...then I rip into my patented air guitar
