Song is awesome. Lets Go Crazy type of energy. Fun rocker in the vein of Horny Toad.

I like it a lot too. It's a nice throwback, but I feel like the studio version is just a tad too restrained. It would have been nice to hear that one done in a live-studio recording, with the band really bashing it out.

Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be incorporated into the live set!

I LOVE this song. I must've played this song 4 times today and a few of those times I was dancing in my seat to the song on the subway. It's so damn funky and he's speaking the truth on it too. Plus that "Controversy" vibe is all over this track and it makes me love it even more. Prince rocked it with this one.
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 enjoy prince when he is "prince".. this is prince. if you get what i'm saying. This isn't the latest song on the radio, and never will be. If imitated, it wouldn't sound the same.. that is a real prince song. Even if it isn't exactly what you expect from him, it shows his true musical edge that make us enjoy his music so much.. so for that I give him much credit for this song.

I love it. Nobody apart from P would arrange a tune like this one like he does. Nobody. The art of translating bad taste into greatness.

Love it! I just bursted out laughing when he screamed "NO MORE CANDY FOR YOUUU!" at the end. Musically it's almost like a parody of himself.

Agreed.

The thing I love most about this track is that he thinks we're irrelevant but devotes a fucking song to us! falloff

actually feels more like rockabilly, which was a theme that had been visited on controversy. I like to call it electrobilly, but i'm sure i didn't come up with it.

Great song. This has the kind of urgency I've missed in a lot of Prince's newer songs. It has that whimsical absurdist sound like Jack U Off, but he makes it work. Only Prince could write something like this.

Listened to this a few times and it's really a killer track nod Most of the album suffers from the lack of invention. This track is inventive clapping
