I was thinking what are my favourite most magic parts of prince songs the other day and here are a few of them.

1> Computer blue (2.15) when the synth line desends and the killer bass line comes in its genius.

2> when doves cry A bit obvious, but still magic the guitar solo at the start.

3> beautiful ones there are moments in this song when his vocals sound like silk eg 1.11 that note.

Obviously there are many more but I thought Id keep it at 3 otherwise Id be here all day.

What are yours?

yes, yes, you hit those right ones on the nose

the end of god created women
the end of style
ripop goes the zippa

1. The scream in "Can't Stop This Feeling I Got", as well as the "Pardon, me, n*gga" part.

2. The guitar solo from "Question of U".

3. The "insane laugh" intro and unbelievable funk of "Superfunkycalifragisexi".

The part in I Hate u where he does the court session.

The start of Joy In Repetition on One Nite Alone... Live! It Ain't Over: "Give us a minute to get tuned up"

The start (guitar) of Do Me, Baby of the Tokyo Nude Tour show. (do live performances also count?)

Late on in The One when he gets to 'you looking for someone who can turn your bad day into one long night of fun' because the song is kind of gentle up to then but increases in passion during that verse and then he really goes for it - I saw this live and the way he put his whole body into delivering this part of the song...seriously thought I might combust or something!

The female 'phone call' vocal bit at the end of The Continental where she does in fact tell him how she wants to be done!!

The intro to Question of U, that weird tone in the first 2 notes then the thumping huge sound, it's impossible not to stop what you're doing and just totally lose yourself in it.

Loads loads more, but will follow your 3 only limit!!

Rolling... Your avatar scares me

1) Joy in Repetition: 'In the alley over by the curb...' bit - it gives me shivers!

2) FUNK: 'How u gonna cap and be gone, I hate to let you know that it's on, U might not like the taste but I'm still gon' stick your face in this funk' and then the mad funky bit following - cool beyond words.

3) Pink Cashmere: There's a bit towards the end when you can hear him smiling, whilst he's singing - it's beautiful.

There are more but I can't think of them at the moment...

When his voice starts any of the songz off..

There are notes upon notes that I love. Starting with the beginning of, "For You." all the way through, "Resolution."

when he's humble

"I Wish U Heaven" from 2:16 to 2:31

"All I'm trying to say is that my psychedelic shouts" from "Damn U"

All of "Pink Cashmere," but especially the really low note from 1:09 to 1:16. It's just out of place somehow but perfect.

There's plenty more, but that's a start...

The passion of DO U YOU WANT HIM ....OR DO U WANT ME?, COS I WANT U on beautiful ones. Gives me chills

That incredible scream near the end of 'Endorphinmachine'. He really lets rip!

The start of God. Mariah Carey couldn't hit that note, seriously.

'Brooks, what is that?' from any live performance of Hot Thing that you care to mention.. I love the way he says 'Come here baaaby!' before kicking off the serious funk!
