indeed there isn't. The Truth is such a beautiful album. it's a shame it
did not get more attention or even it's own retail release. great songs,
nice production. one of my fav prince albums ever. different and stylish.

I love the tune, and the vocal effects are a nice touch. It's a really interesting song. I just disagree with the lyrics, but that doesn't have to be a dealbreaker.

Change it one more time..

What is there to disagree with lyrically?

No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity (fact)

No member of the animal kindgom ever did a damn thing to me (me=Prince. Probably a fact)

That's why I don't eat red meat or white fish (Can't be sure if that's why Prince doesn't eat red meat or white fish, but I'll take his word as fact.)

Leave my brothers and sisters in the sea. (Neither fact nor fiction; just Prince requesting the listener to leave his brothers and sisters in the sea.)

How can you disagree with facts? Well, I guess you can... People disagree with the fact that a man was on the moon...

I dislike the song. It is my least favorite, even over Jughead. I hate the lyrics. They come off as preachy, kinda like "leave that blood alone". I'm not some horrible person because I love a bloody steak. And that dolphin thing at the end. Jesus Christ. disbelief

Now Prince himself isn't leaving his brothers and sisters in the sea. lol

It's hilarious. Seriously, how can you not love a song with vegan self-righteousness and dolphin sound effects?

Not his worst song, but bottom five for sure. It sounds like something a radical hippy sings on the sidewalk outside of a cafe in downtown.

I don't hate it as much as I used to but the song still makes me wanna take a trip to McDonalds. Burger King and Wendy's in one day. If I was in California, I'd add In N Out to that list. 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

Why does everyone hate Right the Wrong so much? It has good guitar, amusingly country-esque vocals, and a pretty strong chorus.

Yeah, but it's not really a country song.

There's a hint of it though! that's enough to turn me off.

I forgot the almighty 'Jughead' in my list, i can't expain that. That's just earhole rape.

"Leave my brothers and sisters in the sea".

Elevating fish to the status of "brother/sister" simultaneously reduces the status of the human.

Yet more cod philosophy from Mr.Nelson.
