hmm, i'll have to have another listen.. I was having a good listen to the album on the weekend, but missed this...

I don't mind this song (didn't mind it when it was released either, when I was a casual listener)... some of the others on the albums are shockers though

There's also a little bit of "Controversy" in there as well.

There's some 'Partyup' in there too - I think it goes 'I Wanna Be Your Lover'-'Partyup'-'Controversy'
I always thought that was cool. razz

Yes it is. One of my favorites. nod
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

apart from the hat he wore around that time with the golden chains dangling in his face, the 'i wanna be your lover' is my favourite bit of the song heart

How did he see? Maybe that's why he's so effed in the head now, from runnin' into too many walls!

If you are talking about the live-version, its awesome when he sings "i wanna be your lover" instead of using the sample wink
