The Kooky Tracks

I was thinking of putting together a compilation of all the shamelessly tuneful, slightly loopy tracks, which kind of constitute a small sub genre. The kind of things I'm thinking of are:


Private Joy
Starfish and Coffee
Dionne
All the Midnights in the World

Personally, these are all some of my favourites. I like it when Prince does something slightly mad.

Does any one have any other suggestions?

I'm not sure this is exactly what you are looking for as the kookiness in your examples was heavily supported by the lyrics, but musically I'd consider P Control quite "different", just because of that synth line and the crazy falsetto in the chorus.


A more fitting song in your list would be Tambourine, in my opinion.

Did Prince ever record Manic Monday for himself, I wonder. I'm sure he did but has a Prince demo of that song ever surfaced? That would be in line with my thinking.

Yes, definitely Pearls Before the Swine and Young and Beautiful.

I was also thinking My Computer, which is kind of a sad song and not really that much fun but still a bit left field.

I love my Rimbaud avatar too...
