Pussy Control, the amount of swearing and crude rap imagery makes Prince sound like too much of a try hard. Solo is also cringe worthy, and some of the topic matter on The Rainbow children makes me ashamed 2 b a fan at times.

I actually thought Push was quite good, it has a positive vibe and Prince and Rosies raps are fine "Prince get on the mic, You don't want me on the mic, Prince! , nah man u don't want me on the mic, Prince! - yeeeaahhh! yeah! yeah! ITs THUNDER when eye'm on da mike, DADDY POP's in da house and you sure don't like it, DIAMOND sure don't like them PEARLS, I'm good 2 CREAM every boy and girl, I'm STROLLIN, steady hip hop and rock n rolling, WILLING and ABLE, HORNYPONY and I'm pumpin em, I'm pump pump pump pumpin em from Pakistan to Poland, straight into your town, stealin up kiddies like a circus clown, ya haha ha , sounds like Michael Jackson on speed but its clever.


Haha, so agree with u on the rap .... "get on the mic" .... "u dont want me on the mic! ..... classic.

Have 2 second Solo aswell, that 1 dont get many plays!!

I never liked FURY. The 1999 keyboard riffs just reminded me of the better song.

Any song of his which borrows or sound too much like another, better song, distracts the hell out of me. For instance, JAM OF THE YEAR's horn riff sound exactly like BILLY JACK BITCH's synthesizer part, and CREAM borrows too much from SHAKE!

By far his worst songs include RIGHT THE WRONG, JUGHEAD, 3 CHAINS OF GOLD, and LET"S HAVE A BABY. I can't stand THE HOLY RIVER, and abhor HOT WIT U.

VAGINA CONTROL eek ...


I will fly over to lower the volume no one wants to hear p control in a operatic tone lol


hahaha!!i would have to agree with you!

once i had my ipod on shuffle and my friends said, " fine we'll listen to prince, put it on shuffle." next thing you know, P control comes on and i rush to hit the button to change it and my friends stopped me and started laughing (not at me, but at the song)... but even though they were laughing they said that they liked P control and they wouldnt let me change it. they played it a couple of times after the first time, thats how much they liked it!! till this day when i see those friends they start singing P Control...

...i dont understand if they do it to make fun of me or because its the only other songs they like by prince other than purple rain and kiss.
Peace, Love, and some Purple Rain!!

Yeah I get that. I love God but the blank expressions on "other" faces ruins it every time. My wife has turned off The Beautiful Ones on a couple of occasions due to the excessive screaming at the end. Some people eh?


For real? The screaming is my favorite part of that song. This was one of the highlights of the Nokia Club midnight show on 3/28/09.

To each her own, I guess!

Man, he ripped whatever balls that song had off and replaced it with some really cheesy keyboards. Same kind of neuter job that he did to Endorphinmachine.

I don't know why folks poo poo "We March". It's a political song just like "Hello", "America", etc were.

But most embarrassing? Hmmm, "Arrogance" comes to mind. It's indulgent and unlistenable. There's the obvious choices like "Walk Don't Walk" or "Judghead" or "Horny Pony".
Others are:

Props and Pounds (WTF?)
Tick Tick Bang (yeah yeah flame away, but it's a ridiculous song)
most of the segues on Exodus
I Rock Therefore I Am (super cringe)
Come On (more bland than wet cardboard)
Family Name (yawn...hell, most all of TRC, except "She Loves Me 4 Me" which is a good song)
Illusion, Coma, Pimp, & Circumstance (WTF x2)

On a related note: Songs like "Incense and candles" and "Sun Moon Stars" would be better without the rapping crap in it.

Or Everyday is a Winding Road????


In a quick defense of that song, I did a mix where I cut out Larry Graham's "EVERYDAY....do you love us? EVERYDAY" chant. It is SO SO SO much better, and the flow isn't broken. It's a major upgrade on the track.

I don't know if it's necessarily embarrassing, but I just can't listen to "Pink Cashmere."
I don't care, pretty baby... just take me with u.

Anything with Larry Graham on it, don't know why but I hated that man with a passion, most of Prince's more consistently bad music was in the period when Larry was in the band.
Also Grafitti bridge, wedding feast, all the so called comedy segues on Exodus, jughead and shoot me down if u like but I really don't like sexy mf that much. Although I thought it was the dogs bollocks when I was a teenager it kinda embarrasses me now.
I wanted what was yours, now I just want u 2 care

Animal Kingdom. That shit makes my fucking balls crawl up into a little he-vagina. It sucks!!!

Poom Poom. I know it's a joke, but shit. I once played a prank on my wife by putting this song on her iPod Shuffle like 30 times under different names. She was NOT happy.

Endorphinmachine is at least still a rip-roarin' good time with an incredible amount of energy.

Fury is just... it just lays there.

Did that harder version that was used in the video ever make it to a single or promo release?

"Right the Wrong" is, to me, the most embarassing Prince song. I said it on other threads, but I will say it again, I hate that song with a passion. It is one that I skip over every time it comes on.

I'm with you ,don't understand this track either I'm missing something or this is a crap tune!!

I'm shocked at some calling "Cream" as embarrassing! confused

To me "Batdance" & "My Name Is Prince" come to mind...
