Who gives a fuck? It's the least contrived I've heard Prince in years.

i preferred the original with the slap bass part in it and the programmed linn drum part. Much quirkier. This version just sounds so throw away. Pop fluff!

I keep ending up singing the verses to Drive My Car as well. Maybe he's been listening to the Beatles a lot recently!

Every time I hear:
I got that call so I jumped in my car

I sing:
I got no car and it's breaking my heart

The original version reminds me a bit of the recent David Hasselhoff classic, Jump in my car. The new version is much better. Though I actually love the Cheese factor in the Hasselhoff track.
