[Prince YouTubes not allowed on this site for legal reasons snip - luv4u]

I'm so happy that someone in the YouTube community was nice enough to show this video!

I always believe that THIS song never got the respect it deserve.

Its a great tune to drive to - Love it.

The Video is kinda cool too.

yes in fact this is one of peaks of Prince's career, the song is uplifting and funky without sounding corny - I love it now as I did the first time I heard it in '86 and the extended version is bliss!!

Underrated by whom?

I thought most fans loved this track.

Hell .....Uplifting.....The perfect one word explanation

I love the 12" version too.....that extended Jazz Funk.....Wicked.

I thought the same. Please, if he played this at a show, the crowd would go nuts! Especially me. I would lose my mind.

It always makes me feel better to hear it.....

Indeed, it is forgotten by the masses, but not by the fans. This is the heart and soul of Parade and a perfect precursor to Lovesexy. Majestic and brilliant.

I like "Mountains" just as much as I do "KISS" (On the same album). When I listen to that song, I like to turn the volume way up after he says "Guitars And Drums On The One, HIT IT!!" Sweet!

I'll be honest, this is by far my favorite song from him of all time, especially when Eric & Atlanta bring the house down at the end of the song, that breakdown is not to be fucked with.

My other favorite part of the song---

Prince: And the girls sing...

Wendy/Lisa: There nothing greater, but you & me

OR the greatest Wendy and Lisa tune ever!!!!!

Hey you , get out on this dancefloor

It's on the Under The Cherry Moon DVD. The only reason to get the DVD is for the Kiss, Girls & Boys, Mountains and Anotherloverholenyohead videos. There more exciting than anything in the movie.

Underrated?
Slow Love on the other hand is totally underrated

Let's look at the definition of "underrated" before we go saying what "is" or "isn't" underrated...

"To rate too low; underestimate."

From what I've read and heard, "Mountains" is practically loved by a lot of people, especially on the org...It also did pretty well on the charts in 1986 (Making it to #23 on the Billboard Hot 100)...So to say it is underrated may be a slight misjuding...However, if you had a strong belief in "Jughead" or "The Arms of Orion," I could see your point.

underrated?

newbie we need to skool yo ass-that shit is LOVED here.

DOCTOR.....T H E D O C T O R??

EXTERMINATTTTTE

dude ain't no newbie

it's not really underrated.

but the extended version IS.

the best Prince song ever, in my opinion (the extended version).

Dewrede said:

Aye, just a bit weird

He really started becoming much more expressive with his falsetto voice on this track (and Kiss). Those first three albums on which he sings almost exclusively falsetto, he doesn't pull it off with nearly as much nuance or expression.

Mountains was OVERshadow by Kiss one time too often.

Love this song and the video too .

I love it, one of my favorites! And I'd like to get my hands on the 12' version 2!
