This is a hidden funky gem.I played this yesterday and realized this is one of his funkiest joints ever.I think this would have fit nicely on the GOLD album.

Hehe, well Id not heardof this track yet but thats the funniest Prince sexual inuendo Ive heard

Can't say it's very, uhm, "original" though.

theC said:

The vocals hurt my ears.

We don't agree on much, theC, but I definitely agree with u on this.

That hollering type of soul voice he uses in that song is probably my least favorite but I love it in that song.

If I may go off-topic here...one of my biggest Prince Pet Peeves is when he sings a song that he originally sang in falsetto in that holler-voice. I can't stand it!

I really like the song, it is funny. did U know the lyrics weren't written by him? they were written by Hilliard Wilson, and Brenda somethin. he did the music however.

it has Groove but it's kinda Sluggish to me&Never jells fully for me.as for His Singing on that Song:He was in Need of Pepto IMHO

I love this soneg but I can never get that part before he says "hide the bone" is is "Give it up bang bang...?" I don't know the rest

Yeah, it was Brenda Lee Eager.
I always wondered whether Hide The Bone was a cover version, or if not how Prince came to work with Hilliard Wilson & Brenda Lee Eager.

I think the next bit is "...and be gone" sometimes this line appears as one of Ben's chosen lyrics on the top of the page here at the org (just above the menus).

I went crazy when I first heard this song! It's simply incredible.It reminds me of an Old School funk jam from the early 80s.It's the type of song that Cameo or George Clinton would have loved to record.

This song should have been placed on an official album.It would have fit perfectly on 'The Gold Experience' or 'Come'(where it would have been the obvious highlight).

C, you are right... that song is a bad motherfucker. I like it and anyone who doesn't like it is wrong... it is good.

I like his vocals on that song too...

The lyrics are on the crystal ball online booklet web site.

It's: "Give it up bang bang, B4 it B gone - Hide The Bone!"

hey what's up ice???ain't heard from you in a while???
De la hoya baybeee.He'll beat Vargas senseless for all twelve rounds.Vargas will have to much pride to stay down.He will get back up and finish the fight but will lose by at least five points.

theC said:

Yeah, yeah!!! What's happening!?

De La Hoya will be winning that fight on boxing ability. Vargas has been at the weight for his entire career and DLH has been moving up in weight, so the natural size/power advantage has to go to Vargas, but DLH is a much better boxer and has pretty good power.

Vargas goes to the canvas in round 4 but will get up. DLH wins the fight by unanimous decision.


Are you going to watch David Tua vs. Michael Moorer this weekend?

Joe Calzaghe is also fighting... he is very promising.

IceNine said:

theC
Yeah,i think tua wins the fight by seventh round knockout if not earlier.Moorer has never had the mental intensity to
fight a big puncher(except holyfield)and now has to deal with age and rust also.Calzaghe is very underrated.I think he has the coolest boxing name in the business(sounds like an old boxer from the thirties).He should get some fame this year.We both agree on De La Hoya,so i consider this a LOCK>

I sent you an orgnote.

Man hide the bone is one of my favorite Prince songs ever! I love the intro! That's some P funk there!
