I'm gonna get FLAMED for this (!) but I've never understood the attraction of this song. SO many fans love it! Even Prince said it was an 'important' song or something at this year's Celebration. I just think it's horribly dated.

Where am I going wrong?? Someone convince me!

I personally like the unreleased version better because of the different lyrics.

Hmmm - STILL not convinced! Sorry!
Maybe I'm missing something, I don't know. Compared to 'The Question Of U', 'Joy In Repetition', 'Still Would Stand All Time' and 'Thieves In the Temple' it's one of the weaker tracks, for me, on 'Graffiti Bridge'.

Ok, let me give this a try...

First thing, I think it's the lyrics & message of the song. "There will be peace for those who love God A lot." It's a positive song. Yes, some of the lyrics are cheesy, but to me it's meant to be fun. Have a good time, dance and *BE POSITIVE* mr.green

I love it, and it doesn't sound dated to me. Maybe dated in Prince terms, but I can't think of another artist or genre that it sounds like and even if I could, I'd rather listen to Prince. wink


So there's my twocents

See, now I gotta put the song on b/c explaining this reminded me of how much I love this song.

Thanks, man! yay! mr.green nuts nod yes woot!

You're right, Theives, Joy, Question & Still would Stand all Time are superior tracks, musically, but Elephants & Flowers is better than Round & Round, don't you agree? Maybe not, it is a matter of personal preference at some point. shrug

confuse

Well, I love the song, and I love Tick Tick Bang as well!!!

Thanks for the Orgnote, VinaBlue! You're absolutely right - each to his own, etc..
If I could re-write history, my ideal configuration woul've been:
Can't Stop...; New Power Generation; Release It; The Question Of U; We Can Funk; Joy In Repetition; Tick, Tick, Bang; Thieves...; The Latest Fashion; Melody Cool; Still...; and New Power Generation Pt2

There again - who am I to decide??! I didn't write the bloody songs!

I think that configuration would've received far better reviews than it originally did. Plus, it cuts out the filler.
Someone start a thread - what songs would YOU cut off albums?
