Bait the see if they bite

i dont think it was meant as a 'social commentary', or a reply to mozart's "cosi fan tutte".

it was just a playfull B side, at a time when P had a growing reputation for being a 'Rude Boy'

... historical context... interpretation... one's own values...

You're a newbee, huh?

It's a simple playful song. I thought you get used to odd lyrics being a Prince fan.

You kidding? The song's awesome! Nice complement to "[Gotta Stop] Messin' About" too.

I think "Horny Toad," is an adorable song...It's among my favorites.

Horny Toad is too cute

I find it odd that people express their opinion, then immediately apologize for it.

Oohh so that's what a horny toad looks like. Classic. grriduppp

Was surprisd to hear this full on rockabilly as a b side back then. It added more to the intriguing enigma aspect of him to me.

its a fun song nothing more nothing less... i love it he probably wrote it, recorded it in 15 mins

i think its a throwaway b-side, he didnt realise it at the time, but its turned out to be one of his greatest and most fun songs. it just works.

It's my favorite b-side.

The b-side to 'Delirious', and no surprise.

Would've been fun if, instead of flipping the 45 over, 'Delirious' had segued directly into 'Horny Toad'. After all, they're basically the same song...

Thanks for the idea. I'm going to do this with Audacity now. Jack U Off might fit well, too.

i like it

I remember the day that I bought this 45 with my paper route money. Great song...you had to be there.....

jayquan said:

Yep. I also remember picking up the 45" after hearing Horny Toad on the radio. I think I used my $3.40/Hour McDonalds burger flippin' earnings.

It's just a bit of fun. I prefer Gotta Stop... but it's all good.
