Let's Talk About The Song "Prettyman" Just listened to this song again, and forgot how funky it is. It definitely reminds me of a James Brown jam. It always makes me laugh at the beginning of the song, when Prince says, "Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful!".  Prince's voice just sounds funny, it cracks me up. Great song.RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Great song.He played a great version on Septimo. The y2k line dates it but it's still one of his better songs of the last 10 years | |

it's a generic prince funk workout, but it's fun and lighthearted enough. i wouldn't mind if he did a whole album of just this kind of loose funky blabbering. | |

i know it probably sounds weird but i actually prefer "northside" and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Definately a James Brown inspired feel. Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

Prince's voice just sounds funny, it cracks me up. Great song.I always thought that Prince speaking in that gay voice was odd actually. He should have just said it like himself. Hes damn near a drag queen afterall Dance... Let me see you dance | |

Didn't he call that album NewPowerSoul??? NPS was kind of a bipolar version of what i'm talking about. high highs and low lows. i was thinking about him maybe making a bowl of porridge that's just right. | |

One of the most underrated songs from his later career, for sure. And Rope Of Silicon.

Good fun track, originally intended for The Time, but Prince decided to use it
himself rather than let it gather dust on the shelf when The Time album got shelved. | |

Prince's voice just sounds funny, it cracks me up. Great song.Nonsense. What cracks me up in the song is the line "I write a check and the bank bounce". Now that's funny. | |

What I find to be amusing and what you find to be amusing may be two different things. Everybody is different. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
