Love it. It's my favorite song on the album. (Yeah, I said it, I meant it, whatcha gon' do 'bout it?!? ) I guess that also shows my disappointment in the rest of the songs on the album. I agree with those who said it's more "spoken word" than rap. I'm not saying it's a masterpiece or anything, but it's fun.

As I said on a few other threads I think it's the perfect combination of Prince tryin' to be all pimp (all over the world they call me Prince, but you can call me Mr. Goodnight ) but still displaying his corny sense of humor/not taking himself too seriously. The raisenets line is classic (like the TV dinner line in Bob George--you're like, "whaaa? "

With Nikki always. I adore that man.

I’d be shocked and appalled if this song is ever mentioned in the same breath as “Irresistible Bitch”.

But hopefully it doesn't get associated with “Mr. Happy” or “Life O’ The Party” either.

It sounds to me right now like a silly piece of fun from “Exodus”. But his side project albums aren’t nearly under the same kind of enormous scrutiny/pressures of his solo albums.

I very rarely eat them, but Raisinets are very closely associated with the movies. And the next line has him showing off his home theater. If you’ve got a mouthful of Raisinets, chances are, the image is of a person watching a movie while they're chomping down.

In my crazy head, he’s sitting in front of his Plasma big screen watching a movie whilst thinking about the things he’d like to do with her body if she’d just give him half a chance (thus the “mind full of good intentions” humor that sets up the mouth/movie image.).

These chocolate covered candies also tie in with the movie mentioned on the next line.

Hey now, this is a 'LOVE IT' thread, there's plenty of other threads you can bitch about it in.

You're totally right I just did one of my own pet peeves. Sowwy.

The preview sounded pretty horrid, but 10 seconds doesn't make a song. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Sign me up, I like it.

Hmmm.
Didn't like it all on first listen. Prince doing his "rap" thang again.
Second listen, liked it actually but realizing Prince isn't "rapping". It's, like others have said, "spoken word".
The only thing is, it does sound like P's 90s "spoken word" stuff.
That said, it aint that bad. The groove is nice and laid back enough to enjoy.

For anybody who came into this "Post here if you love this song" thread just to hate, a gift:

Now back to the topic at hand: I like "Mr. Goodnight" just fine.

BTW,
Who is doing the b/c vocals?
The Twins?

Bfunkthe1 said:

to me, the background vocals on all the r&b-flavored tracks sound like Shelby and the Twins. on all the more pop/rock oriented stuff, it sounds like Wendy & Lisa.


no idea if it's true, but it would be a good template to follow for future releases.

You are all kidding yourselves with this "spoken word" nonsense. This is Prince does Biggie circa 1995.

Nothing more nothing less.

Love it.Great song!

emesem said:

Right.Umm, P was this doing "spoken word" nonsense way before 1995.
History, check it out.

i really like it....don't hate congratulate...

I dig it, it's a fun track.

On a side note, I understand the reference to notorious big, but I have this personal annoyance when people say it sounds like a puff daddy (or is that diddy) produced song - because he almost always just samples someone else (most recently erotic city by prince). So in this case, the music sounds like a Debarge song (Stay with me), not 'One more chance' by notorious big. Then again, I can see what you mean by the similar R&B/rap style in 'one more chance'. Anyways, sorry for the rant, I mean no disrespect to anyone by it, just a pet peeve.

So far I like it more than anything else I heard .
