Let's Talk About the Song "Pretty Man"

I just listened to this song again recently after not hearing it for a long time. I forgot what a cool, funny song this is. I especially love the beginning part of the song where Prince says, "Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful!" His voice sounds so funny, it makes me giggle. This song has got a definite James Brown vibe to it. I can picture Morris Day doing a cover of this song. lol

I heard the JB song last weekend, JB looks at himself in the mirror, and P smells himself. Cracks me up. razz

During the Oprah interview, she called the "P" man pretty on several occasions at Paisley Park. IMO he was caught off guard and played it off by saying..."I'm always clean". I've always felt this song was a response to Oprah's lighthearted attempt to tag him with a feminine label. She betta act like she know...

I like the song 'Pretty Man'. It's a cool track. Just think, this was written 4 Morris Day. This song was 4 The Time and The Artist later decided to keep the song 4 himself.

I like this song. I saw a taped european TV preformance of this where he was looking very handsome in all black and shades and it made me like the song even more. I know the Rave album gets alot of flack but there ARE good songs on there.

Tedious James Brown tread-through.

File under 'Yawn' along with the similar snooze-worthy 'Musicology' and 'Get On The Boat'.

Don't forget to bring a pillow. zzz

YES, this is true I recall revealing this during his appearance and interview on MTV's TRL show in late 1999.
