I have always liked this song as just a quirky little P track, but today I was listening to this while killing myself slowly working this corporate shit. It really struck me that this song is amazing! the synths alone is enough for me. Damn why can't P start using these sounds again. Damn I'm frustrated. How did he come from this to Planet Earth??

There was some good stuff on PE, but overall it was complete cheese. Lions of Judah-wtf is that shit?

Wow, this just turned into a rant about PE when it's supposed to be about Gotta messing about. who else feels this track??

Holla!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I thought Prince kind of lost it when he made PE. (OH boy!) Till the end of time, I will always and forever love Pink Cashmere!!! I love that song so much because it has many many different instruments, and it sounds like one big beautiful symphony. It's a masterpiece!!

Love, love, love it. It's a jam.

And if anyone ever figures out what he's saying after, "Hey, was it good, boy?" please let me know.

Yeah I have always dug that song too. It's Prince combining funk and New Wave - which is what I think he was probably most brilliant at. Would love to hear those sounds again but I'm sure we never will.

Great track...This was the first 12' I ever bought. It was the b-side to "Let's Work". I've always dug this track. One of my favorite b-sides definately.

it always sounded to me to be "there all sorta alike", but

Yeah I love the synth hook, classic early prince, but this song came alive for me hearing his live renditions on the Dirty Mind tour.....far more bite to it. Still cant believe he didnt put it on Dirty Mind.....would've been perfect on there.

Great track, and an A-side in it's own right over here.


Dunno what the problem is with comparing it to PE, Dirty Mind is getting on for 30 years ago! And Lion Of Judah is one of the best post-Millenium tracks IMO.

DTT says "Thoughts so over lame", That doesn't sound right to me

This is probably my favorite Prince jam of all time.

It's just so cool and fun and like work out to it and everything.

i saw that too . it doesn't look right to me either . any other suggestions?

I put the song on...I love it...but ya got me with the line that follows..."Hey was it good boy."

Sounds kinda like...somethin' don't ever rain..???

Cool ass song

Somehow, this track brings to mind Devo and Talking heads.
I like it, havent given it enough listening though.

This is one of the most recent additions to my collection:


Love the song, I have it on the B-side of "Let's work" and the 12" promo as well.

I love Planet Earth...However I agree with how beautiful "Pink Cashmere," is...It could be used for a "Victoria Secret," commercial...seeing as that the "Pink Panther," movie...was blah.

Those were the good old days.

I wish Prince would release more of his rockabilly tracks. I love this one.

This song also houses some of his best yells on record.
