More La la la he he he Appreciation :) I've been jamming to this song for awhile, but I just renewed my passion for it this past week by playing it over and over and over.
The extended version is simply a masterpiece! I also downloaded the lyrics again, and realized I was singing them wrong. I love it when you come across a song that you've been singing wrong for 22 years. When you learn the real lyrics, the song is reborn! 
The line... "Strokin' your whiskers, causin' a scene That's not the way to be to me"... is bangin. It's Prince at his vulnerable best. And the line... "You've got 9 lives, I've only got one" is erotic and hot! Can't get enough of it! And when Prince screams "Say it!!" ... and then screams "Say it again!!!!!" 
I love that!! I've seen him do that on other songs. It's such a corny line, but it's hot to have a musician SO MUCH in his element, and be so caught up in the flow that he commands his group to "Say it again!" (the barks) Slam It'!! This might be my FAVORITE b-side. Maybe! Love this tune!!! The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else! | |

When I first heard it about 20 years ago, I didn't really like it due to the inane lyrics. Then I heard the extended version. You can really hear where Prince was going musically on this track.
It feels like a Black Album sampler! Musically, its fantastic. Lyrically, not so much blah blah blah |

In my top 3 b-sides. The extended cut is fukengruven. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Such a gloriously funny, funky tune... to quote Nessa... it's "tidy". | |

"Someone give grandma a bath"...has to be one of my favorite Prince lines ever. I remember buying the 12" in high school the week it came out. Once I got over the cover...I fell in love with the extended cut. Still gives me goose bumps when I put it on. Have the original vinyl version stored on my Ipod. | |

I love that this entire song came from a challenge that Prince could not make a song out of the words 'la la la he he hee'. He showed them that not could he make a song out of it but a damn funky one at that!
 "U sure look sweet!"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! | |

Fantastic tune.
Some believe the lyrics aren't the best... it's simply creativity at it's funkiest and most pure. It's impossible to not get up and jam to this tune! The man is insanely talented! The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else! | |
