I've been listening to this in my car over the last few days - and I'm TOTALLY in love with this song....I think it's one of the best things he's done - boxed I mean up there with some of the best stuff!

It's SO sensual and passionate and just makes me want to dance wildly in some kind of mad spanish / balletic way lol

Does anyone else agree or do I just have an infatuation.....


lol lol biggrin biggrin cool I LOVE "THE DANCE"

I didn't know that there was another version of "The Dance". doh! lol But I guess I should have known that, since Prince always seems to have more than one version of most of his songs. lol
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Baby, r U gonna really just stand there
And act like U don't want this?
Baby, if U do then U know I just don't care
Oh baby, I could find another
Just like U anywhere
Oh baby, they might not have your hips, girl
And all that pretty hair, oh
At least they won't spend all day in the mirror
Tryin' 2 find somethin' 2 wear
At least, they won't wanna make love
Like U do on the stairs, against the pole on the north corner of the...
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, it's just not fair


That my fav bit i like the way the music kicks whoop whoop!

Gonna have a listen now!!!


That's definitely the highlight of the song imo! I just love this song so much. 3121 is just a kick ass album all around though.
"And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ heart

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart

Perhaps P thought there was a lot of potential with the original track but I think the end result was... overcooked.

So many positive posts about this song, which is great! I actually really like the beginning A LOT, it has such a feeling of real sadness too, like unrequited love...very moving....

The "it's just not FAIYAH!! It's just not FAIYAH!!!" part kinda kills it for me...
