Consistent Prince moments So I'm sitting in my office when the Nomad decides 2 favor me with the xtended version of "Let's Go Crazy". As many thousands of times as I have heard this song over the last 22 years, that guitar solo at the end literally makes time stop and takes me 2 pure, uncut Prince euphoria. It never fails, no matter how many times I hear it, the funk face takes over 4 me.
What song, or part of a Prince song, does this 2 U? No matter how many times U hear it, it never loses it's effect on U. Discuss. Listen to me on The House of Pop Culture podcast on itunes http://itunes.apple.com/u...d438631917 | |

There are so many it's hard to choose, but I love the end of "I could never take the place of your man". The entire song kicks ass!
I love your "moment" too. | |

Ooh, good one. So many... the synth horn start to 1999...the way he sings the lyric in Computer Blue "There must be something wrong in the machinery"... the screams at the end of Darling Nikki... the opening moans/growl to When Doves Cry... that bit in Purple Rain where it kinda changes down just before the 'oohs' kick in... the cough at the start of the Raspberry Beret 12 inch... the 3 song drum sequence at the start of Parade... the drum sound at the start of Mountains... the scratchy guitar string squeaks in Sometimes It Snows In April... the "Oh, Yeah!" at the start of Sign O' The Times... the "shut up, already, damn!" in Housequake... when the heavy guitar kicks in on The Cross... the lyrical liquorice of Adore "I could think I'm a man of exquisite taste, imported Italian silk Egyptian Lace, but nothing can compare to your lovely face"... the "No!" of Alphabet St... the bit where Cat's voice changes into Prince's voice on Lovesexy... the guitar solo in the middle of Batdance... the "people say I ain't got no taste, well blow out the candle, we'll see if it's true" bit of We Can Funk... the "why can't you love me, baby?" bit of Joy In Repetition... the "Aaahchoo" bit of Gett Off... the guitar solo of Gett Off... the "Peter Paul's Almond Joys/Let me show you I'm a talented boy" lyrics of Gett Off... the "I've got grooves and grooves up on the shelf, deep purple concord jams" bit of Daddy Pop... the "Till I get your daughter, I won't leave this town" bit of My Name Is Prince... "It's not about the body it's about the mind" bit of Sexy MF... "Push your body upto the front and shake your muvvafukkin 'do loose" bit of Loose... the guitar of Endorphinmachine... the "I would only fukk with 1" lyric of Chaos & Disorder... "Dead Like Elvis" of Face Down... "Don't Hate Me Cause I'm Beautifl" start of Prettyman... the bass of Family Name... the happy synth sound of Lolita... | |

ICNTTPOYM. Any version.
"We gon' make it funky" with Maceo Motherless Child - Septimo Pretty Man. In Sign O the Times when he sings "Forever in my Life", especially when he is screaming with his head down and Sheila and the others are laughing. I love that. 2 Nigs United for West Compton - I crank that shit and I get the funk face so hard it hurts. I could go on... "What a lovely fat beat with a zompige baslijn" | |

Guitar solo at the end of Eye Hate U. That song ends at the wrong point which is so annoying if you're not listening to TGE in order. | |

The 12-inch "Computer Blue" blows my mind every. single. time. A work of pure genius.
And the "Ya got ta have a mutha for me, now move ya big ass 'round this way so I can work on that zippa, babay.." from "Gett Off" always gets me, too. 
Plus.. "I ain't funkin' just fo' kicks." -- "Adore" | |

I can't help but get a shiver in the pits of my stomach when I hear any Purple Rain guitar solo, be it live or the album version...I occasionally tear... | |

For me there's lots of moments, including...
1. The end of The Beautiful Ones! 2. The scream in Gett Off 3. Guitar and the "Love me"s at the Joy in Repetition 4. The "breakdown" in P. Control 5. The entire performance of Face Down on the Chris Rock Show 6. The bass on 777-9311 (whether P came up with it or not!) 7. Strange Relationship live. 8. The end of Love "I see you standin with yo back on the wall..." If you will, so will I | |

The vamp on Adore when P comes in and starts "Everytime you wander... and the background comes back in with the hook, man that is sublime! and he's there just adlibing over that hook and it's just rythymic and in the pocket and funky and oh thats the musical equivalent of an orgasm for me.  | |

The vocal run that Prince does towards the end of the extended version of She's Always in My Hair, leading up to his screaming and the running bassline.
Every time I hear it, I have to run it back a few times. |

The Dance (3121 version) where it builds at the end.. the piano comes slamming down ominously and the guitar whines and he starts with the "BABY.. ARE YOU GONNA REALLY JUST STAND THERE"... the part when he says "if you do then you knowwwww I just don't care" always gets me. | |

Just as Long as We're Together, just as the instrumental part starts, then that bass part at 3:30. It's powerful stuff! And theres many others, including most of Joy in Repetition. "Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system" - Bruce Lee | |

Oh yeah, Joy in Repetition is definitely in this category. I love the part "In the alley over by the curb he said, tell me whats your name, she only said the words again, and it started to rain (rain rain rain)"
That song is magical. | |

It's a great song, no one writes about jealousy like Prince. I think the lyrics are these though: We were brothers and sisters {lines repeat in BG} United all 4 love Now all of a sudden U try 2 fight it U say U’ve had enough Even though we had (big) fun U want another someone, yo’ happily ever after be (As sure as there’s a sun) Sho’, sho’ as the sun, I wanna be the one U don't understand? Face 2 face, baby, I'll tell U down on my knees Yeah yeah | |

At the end of Adore where he goes from high to a low voice...omg the lyrics, the uh's in between and the sound of his voice.
"Be with me darlin' til the end of all time I'll give U my heart, huh, I'll give U my mind, huh I'll give U my body yeah, I'll give U my time" Unfortunately this end part is cut off on The Hits and on radio edits. Dang! -Silk | |
