Unless he let Brenda sing it, but I still would have wanted his demo That line "all I've got is 2 cigarettes" was for Brenda. You can still hear Brenda singing back up on it if you listen carefully. I think I'd take A6 over The Twinz' version at the opening of 3121 Vegas (on the Holy Casino boot). Those heffas forgot the words to the opening lines! OH HELL NO!! He let those heffas sing that??? | |

I love both, but i go to She's always in my hair more often than 17 days. She's always in my hair. | |

Got to be "17 days" for me. Just love that intro and when the drums kick in.
Also love the long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long title. That's got to be up there with one of the longest songs titles ever, surely. "Playing hard to get is getting hard to play". | |

I love "17 Days," but "She's Always in My Hair" is definitely my pick. It's probably my favorite b-side (although "Erotic City" might get the nod). "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

She's Always In My Hair - the tierce de picardie is gorgeous (ahem!)
17 Days is great, though. I used to love the Living Colour version of it - but then I grew up. | |

Yes! I was so when I heard it. 17 Days is my favorite Prince song--the one that turned me from casual fan to Prince fan for life and they massacred it. I was like , it's not like the lyrics are even that complicated. And they are always flat too. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Not surprised that they forgot the words to the opening lines. Prince was not too pleased, I'm sure. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

"17 Days"
that opening guitar used to sound soooo fresh coming from my wrecka playa as a kid while I watched "the flowers" spin around & around the song gives me that feeling just spinning & spinning on a slow-mo carousel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." | |

I can't choose either. "17 Days" is one of the most unique songs from Prince. I love Wendy & Lisa's background vocals on it. The bass line on "She's Always In My Hair" is FONKY. I would love to hear the concert version of this song that i've heard others on here talk about. | |

I'd take it one step further. I honestly believe "17 Days" to be amongst P's very best! I'd rank it in the Top 5 ALL-TIME in terms of Prince classics tracks...B-Side or not! "She's Always in my Hair" is indeed great in it's own right. It'd crack my Top 15...that's for sure! Just my 2 cents. Strike [Edited 3/13/07 10:21am] | |

Both r great but if I chose 17 Days, it would be for the funky heavy bottom. If I chose She's Always In My Hair it would be for lyrics and approach. | |

I love them both but I'm a little more for 17 Days. [Edited 3/13/07 17:15pm] I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

She's Always in My Hair. I over-played 17 days and can't listen to it now. | |

17 days for me. " A mind changed against its will, is of the same opinion still" | |

You know that one short performance from the hideous Rave Concert of She's Always in My Hair, totally won me over, so that's my choice. | |
