It's so "stoner". Some folks criticize it's repetitiveness, but that's part of it's shoegazer charm. If I spliffed, this would be my spliffiest track.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Sorry, this is the only track ever I have only managed to listen through one single time - I can't deal with this one. Not one for me.

It's got a great groove. I love the extended version. It's a fantastic track to put on while you're cleaning or doing something where you need some good background music.

The song itself is soooo under-rated and I love the 12 inch!

Not one of my favorites. It runs about 15 minutes too long.

Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

Oh i used to. You're quite right.

These days I fade it out after the guitar solo, about 13mins in, that's enough for me. lol

i like it - its a jam you can put on while you are getting ready to go out and just get the hype vibe all the while from stepping out the shower to stepping out the door.

I love the 12" covers off of Around the world and Parade.

Best workout, stoner, cleaning, stepping out the shower to stepping out the door, driving song ever!


How i love the America 12" It sure didnt fit radio or the norm in 85, a cut above most records released that year.

strange that his album covers at one time could be considered fine art.

I want a big poster of that for my office.
