What is sarccy? Do you mean snarky?

I don't think there's anything terribly great or interesting about this track. It's semi-sexy, I guess. Maybe it'll grow on me...I don't know.

Very very nice mid tempo jam...I love this SPOKEN WORD joint and thought I'd hate it after all crap folks here were saying about it! When was the last time we hear Prince mention a previous album title on a new one? eek
Don't u want to come , 3121. It's gonna be so much fun, 3121. That's where the party be, 3121. Y'all can come if u want to, but u can never leave!

A lot of people are calling this rap and it's not...it's spoken word.

Good mid tempo groove with clever and amusing lyrics, (we get it P, you're wealthy and your (ahem) is gold plated... lol But I am imagining a well intentioned Prince with a mouth full of rasinettes, lol lol lol
I like that.

Nice Backing vocals.


A little spanish man??? eek Prince, you's a mess!
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

"All the men call me Prince, all the ladies call me electric man."

A bit of recycling there me thinks.

Anyway, this song is not nearly as bad to me the initial reviews suggested. The chorus is really melodic and strong... it's more Irresistable Bitch spoken word, than rap.

Sleeper song of the album.
Perfect seque from FBM to Mr.Goodnight.
This song is smooth, and only the real playas gone feel it.

Since the Mr. Goodnight defense thread got locked I will repost what I said here:


Love it. It's my favorite song on the album. (Yeah, I said it, I meant it, whatcha gon' do 'bout it?!? lol) I guess that also shows my disappointment in the rest of the songs on the album. neutral 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 pimp) 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? wacky lol"

Mister, mister,
Love U mister

Come on

Chorus:

Call Mr Goodnight
He'll make u feel alright (what? what?)
Make U throw ur head back and holla
So nice, so nice (that's right)
Better not tell ur girlfriend (don't do it)
U can try with all ur might (all ur might)
Just can't keep a secret
'Bout goodnight, goodnight

Hey, baby, hey baby, hey, baby, sitting all alone in my courtyard
Lookin' as if U have every right
All over the world they call me Prince
But U can call me Mr Goodnight

Surely the dandies that escort u places
?
About the parade of lovely faces
That follow me ... surely they do?

What say u 2 that, lips so inviting
It's all I can do not 2 stare
What say u 2 them, past, present and future
That u don't care (I don't care)

If so, u'll be the first, and I'll give u the keys
2 the whip of ur dreams, alright?
All over the world they call me Prince (yeah)
But U can call me Mr Goodnight

Chorus:

Call Mr Goodnight
He'll make u feel alright (alright)
Make ya throw ur head back and holla (yeah)
It's so nice, so nice
Better not tell ur girlfriend
U can try with all ur might (better not)
Just can't keep a secret
About goodnight, goodnight

Now I don't wanna put to U 2 sleep with a bunch of chatter
And a rap that really don't matter
But now that u know who I am u need 2 make plans
And all ur other pennies should scatter (scatter)

A limousine about 2 pick U up
And then took U 2 a private jet (2 fine) (yeah)
And then U gonna meet a little Spanish man
Who will offer U wine and Moet

In an hour or 2, u'll be taken to a suite
That will rock all ur wildest dreams
And on the bed 3 dresses 2 choose 1, pick 1
Then U get a call from me (ring)

Tell me which dress U chose
So I can put on, put on my matching suit
All the real guys hold ur hands up
U know how Mr Goodnight do it

Chorus:

Call Mr Goodnight (call him)
He'll make u feel alright (alright)
Make ya throw ur head back and holla (come on)
It's so nice, so nice (think I won't?)
Better not tell ur girlfriend (don't do it)
U can try with all ur might (3121)
Just can't keep a secret
About goodnight, goodnight (goodnight)

I love U baby
I don't want nobody else

Call Mr Goodnight (U can call him) (any time at all)
Call Mr Goodnight (yeah, yeah, yeah) (I love U mister)

MP3: Mike Philly in the band like jams at midnight
Before the main attraction U'll see
Slow it down somewhere here on earth
Just 2 check how ur reaction be

And if ur heartbeat goes up a notch or 2
There ain't no telling what I might do
I got a mind full of good intentions
And a mouth full of raisenets (better not tell U)

We can watch 'Chocolat' on the big screen
Before we convene in the pool (yeah)
The waterfall'll wash ur cares away
Already I love U, I do

Chorus:

Call Mr Goodnight
Make u feel alright (mister, mister)
Make ya throw ur head back and holla
It's so nice, so nice (so nice)
Better not tell ur girlfriend
U can try with all ur might (Mr Midnight)
Just can't keep a secret
About goodnight, goodnight

The energy in this field's been known to flicker lights, aye
A slip o' me with no rest, acapella moans and a break of sighs (goodnight) (call, call)
Undeterred nevertheless a masterpiece on butterscotch thighs (call, call)
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
It's time for Mr Goodnight

Just a few corrections for you (in bold).

cool

Reminds me of the outtake "Player" a little.

Prince still talking shit at damn near age 50. Thirty years from now he will be doing the same!
