i love the part when he says

This is 4 the cab u have 2 drive for no money at all,
This is 4 why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall,
This is 4 politicians, who are bored and believe in war,
And this...mmm, yeah that's for me, that's who that one's 4

All I think of when I hear this song is, gimme the Keys to the smoothe Limo Baby.

one of my faves! my wife loves that one too!

Just wait until somebody tells you what he is supposedly doing to that woman.

CLASSIC!!! I LOVE THIS CUT! Even the live version of during the 1999 tour is great! That long live rehearsal version from early 1983 and the live version in Detroit from 1982 is great as well!

Don't set me off again!

Isn't it?
This is 4 politicians, who are born 2 believe in war.

I always thought that was what it said. I guess I'm wrong.

'this 1s 4 the rich, not all of 'em, just the greedy--the ones who don't know how to give'

it's hard not to look at that lyric in a different light today.

You are so late.

I don't know how new TheKing662 is to Prince music

but we should always remember that Prince gains new fans all the time, everyone wasn't alive in 1982 or even 1992 or even 2002lol

If TheKing662 is a a newbie and really digging the classic Prince music then I encourage him/her

Yeah that's a favorite part of mine too

I loved the shock when I heard the album verion versus the radio edit
That's the beautiful Jill Jones
I don't remember if its the same Screams of Passion or not but Dirty Mind on some tour dates started out with similar sounds

The guitar solo in that song is WET, I love it

a bit copies from "Oh Oh sheila by Ready 4 the World" or is it the other way round??? !!

I believe its who are bored and beleive in war but it could work the other way to

This is 4 the cab U have 2 drive 4 no money at all
This is 4 why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall
This is 4 politicians who are bored and believe in war
And this... mmm, yeah, that's 4 me, that's who that one's 4
This is 4 discrimination and egotists who think supreme
And this is 4 whoever taught U how 2 kiss in designer jeans
Uhh! That one's 4, that one's 4 where U have 2 live
This one's 4 the rich - not all of 'em, just the greedy
The ones that don't know how 2 give
This one's 4 Yosemite Sam and the tourists at Disneyland
This one... ooh, yeah, that's the one
That's 4, that's 4 the creator of man
This is 4 the sun, moon, stars, tourists at Disneyland
This is 4 the ocean, the sea, the shore
This is 4... and that's 4 U, that's who that one's 4
This is 4 the women so beautifully complex
This one's 4 love without sex
This is 4 the wind that blows no matter how fast or slow
Not knowing where I'm going is galaxies better
Than not having a place 2 go
Now I know

1st Prince song I had EVER heard at the ripe age of 9 right after it's release.....

OldFriends4Sale said:

thanks for that

that rehearsal version is priceless. i think it's the one where he just rips the guitar right? isn't there an amazing version of "noon rendezvous" from the same rehearsal, too? great great stuff.

My favorite live rendition of Noon Rendezvous is from Prince & the Revolution 1st Avenue 6.6.1983 show where he dedicates it to Sheila E sitting somewhere in the club and there is a nice guitar solo with a 2nd half chorus change
