How cute is it about 5:20 in to the extended version when Prince starts humming/scatting along to the melody? And how stupid do I feel that I never paid attention to this before listening to this song today? I miss those great B side days.

This song is fantastic. No one can tell me Prince wasn't better in the 80's when I hear something this brilliant that was merely a B-side.

Agreed--especially a B-side that used a borrowed title and could easily have been little more than a throwaway. La, La, La, He, He, Hee is similar too--could have been just a joke but to me is some of his most definitive work of the '80s.

get up,u be layin on my guitar,nasty bitch(or is it faster bitch,i'm not sure).classic anyway.just heard this version recently.i'm loving this song even more now.the extended versions of hello,girl and feel u up(see my new signature)are all very cool as well.i agree that he was indeed much better in the 80s than in the 90s and beyond.but for others who say he wasn't good at all is just ridiculous.there is so much good stuff he did then and will hopefully continue to do now(pe included).it just ain't messin with the classics that's all and that's fine.anyways,i love that lonely cold stuff too.anyone else think shockadelica is some kind of std or something because of that.just my thought.
For all time I am with you, you are with me.

Classic b-side that can only truly be appreciated in it's full 12" version.
Keep your headphones on.
