Dance 4 Me

The first time I heard the track, I thought P had ditched his morals. lol

"The whole fucking congregation..."

He sings about licking someone up and down, round and round on Elixer. I think that's more than enough to indicate Prince's morals. lol

his new schtick is that nasty music is okay for life partners.

That's not moral standards, that's called deafness. lol

Most of the uptight people that go on about "moral standards" will be the first ones to complain about a song saying "he licks her" over and over again.

c'mon, u can't hear that he's saying FUNKY CONGREGATION!
however, i'm still uncomfortable with the Hallelujahs in the song. but that could be me struggling with my own "false dichotomy" of the secular and sacred.

"make me wanna pick up maracas and just shake!" falloff dancing jig. yeah, i wasn't feeling this track at first (i know folks dig all the "hallelujah"s and whatnot, but it's kinda corny to me, really boxed), but it's grown on me considerably. funky little throwaway track biggrin. the last minute or two, it really gets going and me likey alot cool. MPLSound = classic prince album, imo. that whole thing is the business! biggrin
life's a bitch, but god forbid the bitch divorce me...

He doesn't say that word, he says funky.

I do like it, but also have a problem with the hallelujahs in it....just doesn't seem right. Please don't praise God for some chick getting you "hot" while she shakes it for you.

But the song is funky. Every time I hear it though, I'm reminded of Roger/Zapp's "I Can Make You Dance." Kind of the same beat and context.

That is classic Prince right there - mixing God and sexuality.
