It's getting harder. Arms of Orion, yay or nay!

A big nay. This is soft rock garbage. The piano thing at the end is nice, but blahhh.

Radio fodder was never so boring.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

YAY! Reminds me of an old girlfriend. I used to sing it to her on warm summer nights on the shores of Lake Erie in 1989 smile

Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

a big (cheesy) yay.

also has a great 'classic' chorus - if Elton John or Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote this they would have won an oscar or Ivor Novello for it!

It's absolutely beautiful. I learned it on the piano, and it's just as fun to play, as to listen to. I love Bob Belden's version too.

Arms of Orion is one of the worst songs he ever recorded, and if he recorded and released it on his website for free today, the Org would be overloaded with threads talking about how much it sucks and claiming Prince is finished.

i've always liked it. prince's attempt at a cheesy movie love ballad duet, in the traditional sense. an interesting exercise on his part and i think he actually pulls it off. it's ain't "up where we belong" but it's good all the same cool
