What u's think of it??

Always seem to get different opinions on this at the org. Being left off the B-Sides collection keeps it kinda hidden away from the rest of the bunch...but I for one think it deserves a little bit more love!

"Revolution! Put the groove on the bus!"

When it came out in 86 it was the shit.(In a good way!) In 2006/07 it's still slammin 4 me. So yeah I think it deserves much love. It had a unique sound and it still does, camille brings it.

You heard the original demo? It's not as polished (obviously) as the released cut, but it's a bit funkier and has P singing in his normal register.

i love this song. it's just prince having fun and being funky and sounding ridiculous and playful. nothing wrong with that.

No not the original demo, 86 was when I first heard it, in the UTCM movie. It's still great not as appreciated as it should be.

I LOVE THIS SONG!

Will be posting a new essay about PARADE over the weekend here:

Also, if it were an actual question, I'd vote LOVE over MONEY any day.
I'd rather be poor and loved/happy than rich and unhappy.

SERIOUSLY.

newbie aint no 'oponions' on this song-it is the shit and will always be the shit.

Love it!Fits like a glove in UTCM!

U calling me a newbie??

What a minute....Where is Love or Money? Geeze, I haven't heard it since Parade came out on an actual B side. It is a B-side right? So long ago. I am dating myself and who cares? I need that song. Where can I get it?

I actually prefer this song over Kiss..and no ones changing my mind!

it worked good in the movie

It was intended as nothing more than a mildly diverting b-side and that's exactly what it turned out to be. Musically monotonous and lyrically challenged, the outtake was just a tad better than the ridiculously overlayered travesty that was eventually released. Why drop the funky guitar off the mix? that was the best thing about it.
And then P had trouble keeping it in the set during the Parade tour but in the end gave up on the idea.

It already gets all the "love" it deserves.
