Which song do you prefer, do you feel that they were similar songs.

Too much

I've only heard one of the 2 songs, so I really don't have much say.

Control.

As unusual a speciemen as it is, I rank it in the top 5 on TGE.

I prefer Scarlett Pussy. P Control sounds like Prince trying too hard to be hard, and he shows his respect for women in a very confusing way.

I find the song very fun and funny at the same time. Then again, Darling Nikki & 319 are always good for a few laughes cuz they truly bring out the "bad boy" in Prince.

Every time I listen to it, it does sound more and more like Prince... I apparently convinced myself 4 a while that was the creative mind behind the song cuz it's very twisted... but in a good way, for me.

P control, it's got a good message!

P. Control is a much better song, imo. It's more maturely crafted and it actually has a positive message behind it. SP is just a funky-meets-cute B-side.

I dont know, Im still trying to get what the hell Pussy Control is about.
I like scarlet pussy tho =]

NDRU said:

i agree 100%. Scarlett PUssy all the way

I'm not completely sure myself even though I've heard it close to 10x since getting the album. But that doesn't really matter to me all that much. Unlike some of the other songs on TGE (Now & Endorphinmachine), I can understand what he's saying.

I haven't heard the other choice, so I've got no other way to go.

yeah i kept re-playing it. and im like "wtf is this about!?!?" lol

Negritaluvyu said:

Yeah. This song was a bit unusual and I don't know why I like it as much as I do. It grew on me, to say the least.
But it's like "Computer Blues" in the sense that I could really care less what the song's about, but I enjoy it all the same. control is good for lyrics cuz they're fun and have a good rhythm.
"Computer Blue" is beyond brilliant for the portion that runs from 2:19-3:31, because I feel like it tells a story. I've yet to figure out what, but when I come up with a theory, I'll be sure to share it. (Don't tell me your theories, thu, I wanna figure it out on my own).

lol i have no theory yet ..

Negritaluvyu said:

We'll figure something out sooner or later.

Generally, when it comes to interpretation, I'd rather figure my own out b4 hearing others, so I don't become biased.

Scarlett Pussy!

Girl you need Pussy Control.

pussy control

I feel they are two totally different songs...but I like to jog along to the both of them....as for my favorite...Scarlett Pussy is classic '80s Prince so I am going to have to go with that!

P.Control doesn't stand a chance.

NouveauDance said:

Indeed, Scarlet pussy is classic prince, while with P.Control is Prince is trying something on for size, but isn't really him. Rap isn't his strong point and the beat sounds very dated (even when it came out). And then the hook, aaaaa, pussy control, ohow. Is that supposed to be catchy?

And then we have Scarlet Pussy. Just the different guitar licks at the end of the song blew me away. That always struck me as Prince having too much inspiration and too little time to create different songs for each lick. Simply great!

Sander said:

Agreed. "she can u shoot yor ego all over her sheets". Classic song.

P Control. It's got that big, fat 'n' warm 90s sound production. The beat is insane, the synth groove is tasty, and the lyrics are hilarious! I dig the Crystal Ball version, too.

Isn't it about a girl named Pussy Control (a painfully obviously symbolic name) who gets good grades and makes her own money so she doesn't have to depend on a man for her worth?

NDRU said:

that's the best I could come up with.

Scarlett Pussy never grew on me, I just don't like it...

P Control is better but it came on my IPod the other day & I almost skipped it - that song didn't age well. But I love to hear him scream...

Pussy Control. esp the club mix
