I will, whatever.

La, La, La, He, He, Hee is one of his best funk efforts; it is rather spontaneous, which is always fun. It was when he was able to make silly lyrics sound good.

The mentioned part is indeed awfully wicked, but please Lars, at 3:08 you can hear the horn section, alas, mixed to the back, go crazy. It is the part he used during the SOTT tour to segue When Doves Cry into Purple Rain.

But the relentless fun sparking off the song makes it nasty to me in a good way. His moaning, 4:30 into the song. naaaaasty!

Feel U Up (Long Stroke).

She's always in my hair is a close second.

"She´s Always In My Hair"

Prince can nail that one live.

Prince's B-sides back in the day pissed all over most folks A-sides for real!!

Was so exciting to go out and buy the single and have a new song to hear. I miss that!!

Hands-fucking-down it's "She's Always In My Hair".

i just don't like ultimate questions. technically, the question asked is impossible to answer

the beatles had some pretty good b sides. perhaps as good, if not better than Princes. Same with the Stones, and other artists..

Prince has had some very very good b sides.

Back in the day I couldn't wait to see if there was a b-side when he released a single.

2. Erotic City
3. How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore

5. 4 The Tears In Your Eyes

Erotic City and Shes Always in My Hair are neck and neck followed by How Come U Don't Call me

Back in the day when a Prince single was dropped you always waited in anticipation for the B-side. In fact Prince was so popular in DC that the sations here played his b-sides just like singles

Always in My Hair
Erotic City
17 Days
Shockadelica
Love or Money

and others prio to 88 and Lovesexy (when things started really going downhill comericially) all played on the radio

This thread just needed a reply to get out of the bunch of locked PE threads.

Oh, and "She's always in my hair" is great as well...

(COUGH!newbieCOUGH!)

I think it is one the songs that non-fans and fans alike love, so in that regard, maybe yes. I do like it, but it's not my absolute fave--that will always be 17 Days.

Yesterday I was hanging out at the roller skating "rink" in Central Park (not a rink with wooden surface, just a place where the old school skaters go to skate-dance) and the DJ played White Horse followed by Erotic City. There are definite similarities but hearing them back to back really made me appreciate how shocking Prince's sound and lyrics must have been when Erotic City first came out. (Erotic City didn't make it to where I grew up...) It was kinda of bizarre to hear "we can funk/fuck until the dawn" blasting through Central Park on a Saturday afternoon.
