yep, that was the little ditty about the wetsack Quincy jones and his dumb efforts to save the world, to which there is alot of info on a thread not far from here, the 12" version is even better, wink
If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

true, makes you wonder what sort of a nutter not only releases b-sides that are now and again better than what he actually releases, but also goes to the trouble of doing extended versions of them, total genius

and then the public and fans have the balls to say he is greedy, at least he didnt release 7 singles off a 9 track album wink

it reminds me of Hello too since it's a direct response to stuff
going on in the press and being told about him by people and his
answer comes as a song.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I would argue that "Love" from 3121 is also a diss song.

I'd say his last several albums were nothing but diss songs - he was mocking us all for being dumb enough to buy the substandard crap passing for "Prince songs" these days!

I agree.

When I first heard it I assumed that it was dissing Mani (or another ex). I don't think it's dissing the fans - "Smiling at my friends when you really hate 'em" seems too personal.

Nah, it could apply to Larray Graham too.

"Pearls Before the Swine" was a major diss at Mayte, IMHO.
