Sleep Around

I've just played this song for the 1st time in ages and i reckon it's da bomb.

Soundz like some crazy theme to a 70's cop show.

Who else digs this tune?

Prince should offer this song to Ricky Martin(it should make money)...this is an honourable way for Prince to "sell" out.

I love Sleep Around!!!
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Sleep Around was one of the best songs on Emancipation. I call it the hit that wasn't.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Sleep Around was going to be a single.

Unfortunately everything fell apart
soon after The Holy River and that
was that. prince had originaly planned
to have at least 4 or 5 singles
released from Emancipation.

That would have been one serious single on the charts if it was released. One of the best songs on Emancipation. Love the 70's vibe.

Where are my platforms and bell-bottoms? And don't forget my butterfly collar.

Don't like it at all. Very pedestrian, Prince by numbers. Now My Computer, that's more my style, funky and quirky.

Holy River never should have been a single IMO, I'm just not crazy about that song. It probably sent people into shock - this is Prince??? Sleep Around is really appealing, I like it.
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

I second that. Prince should have released this song first. If he wanted to show the world just how "emancipated" he was, he should have came out and hit us hard with the first single and it should have been Sleep Around"

These are the songs I would have picked as singles for Emancipation and in this order:

Sleep Around
Style
One Kiss at A Time
Face Down
Somebody's Somebody
Maybe Betcha by Golly Wow!

In a perfect world, it would have been great but stuff happened in this period and it's unfortunate. But it's all good now and Prince is still making great music

Thanks for the info Boris. And I agree completely with SkletonKee, Prince doesn't have a clue when it comes to business, But thank God for the music.
