"So here I sit in my lonely room Lookin' 4 my sunshine" all i have is two cigarettes, and this broken heart of mine I always thought that cigarette line was a bit UN-Prince. But years later when I realized it was meant for A6, it made much more sense. It was a track I never got tired of playing back then. | |

The melody is played on guitar. Very cool. I don't miind L.C.'s version. It's probably one of the better versions of it I've heard.....although now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I've heard another cover of it. Not sure I'd want to either really. | |

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Trivia Question...
Which Prince album contains a snippet of 17 Days? If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

squirrelgrease said: ernestsewell said: True, but imagine how much better of an album it would have been with better songs on it. I can SORT of get through the songs, but there's a couple that are just pure laziness. Even if Prince did pull the above songs from the album, why didn't he put other good tracks on there? "Some Kind of Lover" and "Happy Birthday Mr. Christian" is ridiculously embarrassing. And "Toy Box" from Sheila E. is a direct copy of "Blue Limousine". That hook is about one note off from being a duplicate. I think he just never took enough stock in Apollonia 6's album. We know she couldn't really sing, but come on. She's got a campy voice, and Brenda can hold vocals too. Eh. Water under the bridge. Blue Limousine has it's DNA derived from 1999 too. I guess that makes Toy Box a descendant as well - not to mention Manic Monday. 1999 has to be Prince's most used recipe. I thought that Blue Limousine was written by Sheila? Or did Prince just give her the credits, like he often did? | |

When  go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all up in the house but when log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming! | |

Funny, because you were pitiable from the time you made your initial little unwarranted comment. I usually hate smart alecs, but I chose to go a different route with you, but apparently you can't take your own medicine. And if your avatar resembles you in any way, then you're already on that fast track to elderly senility. Alas, there's always a jerk in every thread, and why you all can't stay away is beyond me. Now, back to our regularly scheduled topic... [Edited 10/18/09 18:52pm] "Get up off that grey line" | |
