nod 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! machinegun hammer

OH HELL NO!! omfg He let those heffas sing that??? ill wall disbelief pray headache

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.

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).

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. biggrin

Yes! I was so pissed 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 talk to the hand, it's not like the lyrics are even that complicated. And they are always flat too. shoot3
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.

lol The Twitch Twinz. giggle 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" love

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
"be who you are and say what you feel
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.

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'm an org elitist... totally unapproachable.

I love them both but I'm a little more for 17 Days.

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
