Wasn't that a character in an old Richard Pryor movie called "Which Way Is Up?" Anyway, how does Mr. Goodnight do? I was listening to this on the way home from work and I don't care what some haters say-this is the jam!!!

Those background vocals of his in the beginning are so sexy.

I dunno about the question...

but

this is my FAVORITE song on Planet Earth... because it's the most enjoyable.

I won't go into the details
After all, he wants us 2b hush-hush about what goes on

Let's just say that Prince had me from "hello" as soon as this song started when I heard it the first time... and the rest is history.

I usually have 1 or 2 favorite songs per CD or CD per box set, and this is my favorite too. How sexy is that voice. I have waterfalls in my backyard and he is more than welcome to come over to my neighborhood, but I think that is a differnt song. None the less, the invitation stands.

Totally the jam!
My fav track on PE.

It seems like with each album, he has to put a sellout song on it. On "Musicology" it was "Illusion, Coma, Pimp, and Circumstance", on "3121" it was "Incense and Candles", and on "Planet Earth" it's "Mr. Goodnight".

Enough with the shit hop vibe. Don't even put one song like that on the album. If the youngsters like Prince on their own, fine, but if they don't, fuck 'em. Don't put a sellout song on the album trying to draw them in.

What makes you think that this is a sell-out song? Also could you just clarify what you mean by 'shit hop'? Do you mean it as hip-hop, because Mr Goodnight couldn't be further from Hip-hop if it tried.

Personally I think that Prince is waaaay beyond wanting to put songs on his albums just to appeal to the youngsters - Obviously I don't know him or how his mind works but I think that he puts down the songs that he likes, just because he can. I get the impression that he stopped caring what people wanted a long time ago and is in it for personal gratification.

Just my humble opinion

MrsGoodnight said:

I agree with you. I can't stand hip-hop... let me tell, Mr. Good-night ain't hip-hop. i don't know how anyone would get that idea (aside from Prince rapping thru the whole song). It's very smooth R&B if you want to put it in a category.

I believes as well that Prince writes whatever he feels he wants to write. Since when he really been concerned with pleasing people so they'd buy his music? Sure, there are a few cases where he does... but otherwise, he writes what he feels and what his heart wishes him to write.

I can't fathom what would bring he to write Mr. Goodnight... I just want to believe that it was an inspired move on his part and he did what he felt was right. if I wished anything different, I wish he made the song a bit longer.

I absolutely love Mr. Goodnight. I love all of PE. Each song flows nicely in2 the next song. No skipping here.

pennylover said:

Same here
I definitely agree with what I put in bold. It's a free-flowing album that's pure magic

It's a very sexy song, P is so smooth.

MrsGoodnight said:

co-sign I really didn't like PE but this and a couplea other tracks are on point.

nurse said:

Oooh, I love this song too. Love the keyboards in this song, and the melody is so damn catchy!

i loved it the first listen but it didn't wear well with me.

I LOVE this song. It makes me smile. Makes me think about cuddling underneath a down comforter and giggling.

Twinkly1 said:

haha... I gotta try that myself. Song doesn't make me giggle... but it makes me smile and blush quite a bit at least I think I'm blushing.

If he spoke me 2 like that, God knows would

I luv this song also. When i first heard it i liked it. I think it is one of the best songs on the cd to me.

KidaDynamite said:

That movie was great!

Mr. Goodnight, A light hearted fun fantasy and Prince's voice is as smooth as Chocolat candy
[Edited 11/3/07 6:00am]

It's got my vote as one of the best songs on the album!

Wow...

I just wanted to take a moment to say.

I had no idea that this song had this many fans. A lot of people seem 2b complaining about it a lot, calling it a sell-out and whatever else...

I'm so glad its gotten all these good reviews. It deserves no less.
And its nice to know you're not completely alone in ur opinions.

One of the worst song ever written... EVER.
