Tick Tick Bang....

In this song, does Prince sample Jimi Hendrix? I think it's "Castles Made Of Sand, by Jimi!

I disagree. The Graffiti Bridge version has a much stronger hook.

Really ?

I think those synths and drums fit the song much better and i don't care for the loop on the 1990 version much , frankly

The album version all the way. The 1981 version is weak!

Wow. That's the first I've heard that about Tick Tick Bang. I guess I wasn't listening close enough. eek Does P give credit to Mitch Mitchell in the liner notes?

Huh?!! Are u serious? Hendrix's Little Miss Lover IS this track. And yeah, the 81 version is better.
