The Rave In2 version is imo so much better esp with the nice wee guitar part.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

I was thinking the same thing the first time I heard it. I wished it was longer cuz it was one of my favorites on the album.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Yes it is a whole lot better with the extended part. It's one of the best songs on Rave, no doubt.
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

Tangerine

Some days I feel Tangerine
Some days I feel blue
Some days I just wanna black out
Everything I felt 4 U
Even though I take your picture
Everywher I go.
I use it as a coaster, and drink the overflow.

Some days I make a whole lot of money
And give it all away
2 take my mind off the tangerine color
Of your negligee.
Beggars can't be choosy
If they don't know how to serve
U got a different phone number
...And a lot of nerve

Some days I feel tangerine
Some days, I miss U 2.
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight...

One of my favourite songs.

I've not heard the Rave In2 version, so can only speak to the version I'm familiar with, but I think the song's brevity helps to give it greater impact; the song leaves one feeling as if it ended too soon, wishing it had been longer, wanting more...which is the very emotion and tone of the song itself, isn't it?

Its exactly the same but with an extended guitar solo.

nod I agree with muirdo and cam. Overall, I think In2 is waaay better than Un2, for two reasons.

1) All the best songs on the original album are extended! woot!
2) The horrible "Everyday Is A Winding Road" barf is replaced with the magnificent "Beautiful Strange." worship

Back on topic, Tangerine is a GREAT song.
