Who thinks 'Play in the sunshine' Fu***ng rocks!

The drums are amazing(shiela e, right?).

Where Prince says 'drummer, drummer do your thing'; is he refering to himself or shiela becuase she's not credited.

If Prince did all the drums it's fucking amazing; what y'll think?

The song is my favorite from SOTT. Especially the movie version, which is much better than the album version smile

I love it. Any song that incorporates "Shave and a haircut - two bits!" is cool.

Musically, it's yet another solo effort. The whole genius of Prince's versatility is not that he can play all those instruments well, but that he can combine them together and make you think it must be a band playing. Calling out 'drummer, drummer' is similar to the call-outs in 'Housequake' - he's calling to himself but it makes you think there's a band atmosphere going on.

play in the sunshine.... crammed between two classics, easily underrated and forgotten. Thanks for pointing it out, I never paid too much attention, promise I will!

It's one of those tracks that I always forget in my 'favourite songs list', but when I listen to it, it continually blows my mind once again.

I think it's a prime case for the remastering of the back catalogue nod

News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

I remember when i first saw her playing this song in the movie back in 1987, i was just started playing drums, after seeing that i was hooked, then he gives her props by saying " on the drums Shelia E.. not bad for a girl." and she rocked, and she also rocked in "I can't take the place of your man" the womans bad !!!!!

Listen to it with headphones.


The breakdown contains some instrumentation gems -- like the acoustic guitar runs...
