What's better - Partyman or Prettyman?

I'm putting together a collection from 89-99 and there's only room for one of these upbeat, funky numbers. Which one wins?

Thanks for the help.

They both funky, but I'd go with Partyman.

I like them both, but I would have to go with Partyman. It's more of a unique and pure Prince sound. Hard to imagine it being recorded by anyone else. Prettyman seems a bit more generic to me.

Good point. Partyman seems like Prince fulfilling childhood James Brown fantasies ("Maceo!!"), but Prettyman is pure Prince. I think you've sold it to me.

When this thread came up last year, I said Prettyman, but now I'm not too sure
After I saw the video for Partyman I fell in love with that song

I'll call it a tie smile
If you will, so will I

Not really. I think it's one of his better tunes from that time. The lyrics alone make the song stand out from the rest. It's certainly the best song on Rave.

I like them both however this kills me every time:

In the early morning
When I'm feeling nice (Prettyman)
I walk by the mirror
And kiss it twice (Prettyman)
When it comes 2 perfume
It's on the shelf
I get it down
If there ain't nobody around
I, I, I smell myself


lol
pray God bless everyone. NO exceptions. pray

Partyman. confused

Altough it's sort of depressing that I still prefer a relatively low-profile track from Prince's 80s output over what I 'd consider one of his best tracks from his 90's period.
