Can we talk about Automatic for a minute?

I'm sure this topic pops up alot...but...
My God, this thing just played up on my iPod and it really caught me. Is it not the Jam!?
It's baptist Church long but flows so well that you don't notice its darn near 10 minutes.
This is one of those flawless songs, to me.

And the video isn't bad either. whip

I loved "Automatic" from the first listen...I don't listen to "1999" that often...but it means the world to me, every 2 years or so...

For a long time, Automatic was my favorite track on 1999.

And not just because he talks about doing one very specific thing all night long. hmph!

lol

Yep. This, "Something in the Water", and LCD have always been my favorite cuts from the album. And I finally saw the full-length video for "Automatic" on the internet a few months ago. lol Funny.
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!

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

I love "Automatic" so much! That song freaking rocks! woot! headbang

I play it all the time. And sometimes, when my CD player is nowhere nearby, I'll sing it anyway. I'll sing it while I'm grocery shopping! LOL! nutty

Wears More Make Up Than Me.
Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots.

Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol.
