I'm coming out of the closet on this...I love this song. And I mean I really love it. Who's with me on this?

Efan said:

I'm with you

the original's boring in comparison

The only thing I hate is the Crazy Horse showgirl bit--that seems so trite. Other than that...dance on the funk!

Very much so!

I love it.

I love it 2! Never thought I'd get a chance 2 say it.

I always thought that life is a highway.

Are you a canuck?



Anyway, yes, like this song. Don't like the original. I say that about very few songs.

i used to really love the original but this cover tainted that
whole song so much that i can't even listen to the original

Great song! It's a jam, full of energy and positiive vibe in a sometimes dark world. ; )

"Do U Love God? EVERYDAY!"

IstenSzek said:

Yeah, the original is way too twangy for me now. I don't mind Sheryl Crow, but I'm not a huge fan of her voice either. Prince really found some interesting elements in this song and brought them to the forefront.

Nah

Don't love it but I like it.

IstenSzek said:

Are you now saying you like Prince's version so much or you don't?

Prince's version is, of course, so lame it hurts. It makes my ears bleed. I listen to it only at gunpoint.

And as there a sa strict gun control rule in Holland, that is NEVA! And that suits me fine.

What album is this on?

I haven't heard it yet.

i am saying prince's version is so horrible that i can't
even listen to the original, which i used to love

I didn't like the original yet alone Prince's version.

IstenSzek said:

Ah, I have the amazing abilty to weed out REALLY bad songs immediately and be discriminative towards them the rest of my life. This one I heard ONCE entirely. Like Young & Beautiful. Like Muse 2 The Pharaoh. All that bullshit.

The whole do-u-love-aunts thing just ruined the song to me...

OMG, how can y'all even compare it to the original...

I hate what Prince has done with this great song...

Mr Cheeks, The Hamster Loves U.

Dammit. I was so excited to have IstenSzek onboard that I totally misread his post. I thought he was complimenting Prince's version. Oh, well...

Efan said:

Hehehe, you can't win all of us over. But ain't it great we all got different faves?

HamsterHuey said:

That it is. That it is.

Without Larry's contribution it's pretty OK. A little overproduced tho.

i remember once saying something like this and got slated for being mad ! - it is really a fantastic track! and no need to be ashamed to love it!!

I really like it. I did an appreciation thread years ago and was lambusted for it also.

I love the "We g'on make it, weeee got new power soul" bit. Just class!

Didn't he perform this live before it was even released on Rave?

Well, not entirely sane anyways.
