Violet The Organ Grinder absolutely the greatest Prince song ever made intentional or fluke?

Just watching Violet The Organ Grinder and I cannot help feel that this is his funkiest moment, and that it just works on so many levels. I know its only a jam of Gett Off but it has worked out to be a lot better than gett off.

Love the song. I think that Gett Off is a great song. The only problem is that the full version is not on D&P. The full version has a number of elements that really makes it better. For whatever reason, D&P included a shortened version.

man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

I think it is "Like a puppy, I LICKED your devotion".

It is an excellent song & video tho!

No way is it better than Gett Off razz It sounds like an off cut.

BTW have you heard Gett Off from the New Power Generation Maxi? That's kind of good too.

it is an off cut but its like a fluke that it turned out to be a better song.

are you refering to the new power generation songs including loveleft loveright and lubricated lady? those songs were wonderful!

i like it smile, but i wouldn't say it's his greatest though, but that's your opinion. we all have our favorites cool. loveleft, loveright is such an underrated song. this should'a been on graffiti bridge and a single along with thieves in the temple nod.

You're entitled to your opinion, but in my opinion I would rather listen to 200 other Prince songs before I put Violet on. And "Gett Off" is one of his nastiest funkiest weirdest tracks ever. Violet is a weird toss off b-side...shows some experimentation...

This song is absolutely one of the best. And the video, despite his weight loss, just rocks.

i think he looks incredible in this , possibly his sexiset, video. The way he sings it and looks at the camera makes you think that if you got a pulse he's gonna do ya!!. A funky, yet horny [in a ascary way!] track.
