The outro of LRC's dance mix. Why it drowns in a minor key is beyond me.
totally had my hopes up for a continuation of more belting melodies

Get off my dick, you're getting boring. And remember that the next time you listen to a Prince album on shuffle, or skip a track because you don't care for it (and don't tell me you never have skipped a track, cuz you're a liar if you say so). Skipping a track or even listening to something in a different order is the same thing as me editing a track and getting rid of Tony M. or some other lame ass rapper. It's not how Prince wanted you to hear the album, and when you change that up, you're no better than me editing stuff.

No one brags. The point of the thread is to "fix" Prince's music. I offered what I did.

By the way, your comparison to the song and my editing is far-fetched at best.

**fam disclaimer** This is not intended to be negative, as I'm sure it will be seen. I'm not saying I could do better or that his music is broken, it's just a little editing exercise.

But we have all read so many criticisms of his music, but very few are actually constructive. Many of us are writers, musicians, and could easily be that editor that Prince so often could benefit from.

So instead of just saying "it sucks" how about a specific suggestion of how to fix something you're not crazy about. Either lyrical, musical, sonic, etc.

I'll start:

I quite like the song Last December, but the beginning has always bothered me a little. He says:

"If your last December...[big pause]...came what would you do?"

I have always wanted him to say

"If your last December came...[big pause]...what would you do?"

It's such a simple change that makes the meaning of the lyrics more obvious and more conversational in the context of the music.

anyone else?

Your excuses for doing the chopping up and cutting off Prince's fins, so to speak,are lame and weak. AND I think u meant get off my jock, not your dick, thats nasty, there are ladies on the org..show a lil respect. AND I'll GET OFF YOUR JOCK WHEN U GET OFF OF prince's.AND I bet if the music U make was publicly consumed, and people bragged about editing it down cuz they didn't like your final mix, you would cry and throw things. ho hum.

I hate how so many of his songs END. why can't they go on forever?

LOL Listen little boy with too much time on his hands - I couldn't give two shits if you or anyone else likes or dislikes the edits I've done. I do them for ME. You will never change that, nor will anyone else - not even Prince himmotherfuckingself. "Misrepresenting Prince" HAHAHAHA That is hysterical!!! Like I'm some manager or press agent for the man. Stop trying to play at the big boy's table. It makes you look and very hypocritical.

JesusFreak said:

I saw you posted that before! I want to reply, but I haven't heard that version!

First of all, stop trying to insult me because of my age...im not clowning you personally...just your feeble attempts at re-working Prince's work. Im sure u have seen the Batman movie with Nicholson as the joker...your exactly like him..defacing art...it's kind of sick bro, thats all me and a lot of people on here are saying. keep your ageism to yourself...besides, u dont even really know my age...u look silly assuming my age just cuz the word "boy" is in my screenname. and u never responded to the fact that if someone re-worked your songs, how u would feel...but im sure you'll just say "i don't care"..blah blah blah. triteful bit pedestrian of u, son.

lotusboy said:

Whaaaaat teh fcuk you talkin' about? Age? Nicholson? It's cute how you tried to turn the "boy" thing back around with "son", but it's just rather .....bland. Otherwise, I've no idea what you're going on about. "It's kind of sick bro". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA too funny!

^^^^^

Oh for cripes sake you two. Let's keep this thread on track instead of it all getting off topic and personal. Take your crap to orgnotes. It would be a shame to this thread up

we all got your number on the Org. think we don't?

To remove from P's art is like removing the eyes from the Mona Lisa.

I like that verse. It's kinda trippy and gives a euphoric idea to the story.

some people have been banned for less.

lotusboy said:

LOL OMG ROFLMAO! You take the internetz TOO seriously! Certifiable! Get a life, and stop hijacking the thread.

Do you do this with any other form of art? Do you edit novels to "improve" the story? Do you chop up films to expedite the denoument?
