It's kinda boring and it drags the album down a bit. Maybe it's because of where the song is placed on the Batman CD. It's not a bad song but it's kinda "meh" to me.
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 know that's right. the idea of me being a hater, that's too funny! interesting being on "the other side" of things. lol lol

Because it's too slushy and as romantic as getting a sloppy kiss from your Grandmother without her false teeth in.

I really like the song. However, I think it was Prince's attempt to get on Adult Contemporary radio, but that failed.

It's not supposed to be Prince. The song is about the characters Bruce Wayne and Vicki Vale.

Remember, each song on that album is written from the perspective of the characters.

Because it comes across as saccharine. But, I don't hate it. It's got a special place in my heart.

That said - I do tend to hit NEXT whenever it comes on though. I have to be in a very special mood to hear it.

Personally, I think if Prince and Sheena were going to reunite I would have preferred another U Got The Look type of joint. I'm neutral on Arms Of Orion, but if I had to lean one way or another I would say I like it before I didn't.
