Uh Huh!...the Works

The more I hear this song, the more I love it....it's so upbeat.

Pity it wasn't released as a single, perhaps because of it's length (6 mins).

but... this song was basically a Pepsi commercial too, with Ray Charles.

I don't think Prince could release this as a "Prince single".. people would had laughed, said: "wtf is he releasing commercials now" ??

But I agree it's a cool song. cool

I enjoy this song.

Did Prince write this song originally?

Ive had this song for sometime now. I saw it discussed in another thread recently and decided to let the song play all the way through and i admit its catchy and afterall IT Was meant for a pepsi commercial,but no way it coulve been a successful single....it belongs unreleased.

yea, but the op was talking about a song:

"Uh Huh!...the Works

The more I hear this song, the more I love it....it's so upbeat. "

and other people said it was meant as a commercial

So I wondered what song 'the works' is.

or do they mean the work pt.1 ???
