A compilation of songs like this (that don't exactly fit the "Prince" brand mold) might include for starters:

"Ronnie Talk to Russia"

"Wedding Feast"

"Arrogance"

"3 Chains of Gold"

"Tick Tick Bang" (Bridge version)

"Graffiti Bridge"

"Do U Lie" Agree on all but his one. Do U lie is sophisticated to be here.

"Right the Wrong"(just for the western voice)

Agreed. When Prince is being obviously simplistic/childlike/or naive some people can't stand it. I think it's fun.

Dont drag my beloved Do u lie into this.

And "Ronnie Talks to Russia". I LOVE THAT ONE.

POP POP POP POP lol I just loved that sound lol

Completely agree with the O.P.

I only heard this song once. After that I had to remove it from the (very few) subsequent listens to the new crap album.

Fortunately, I don't even remember the music.

Only good as a 'tongue-looser' at Guantanamo.

I think it's awesome.

And if the TV show "Glee" gets ahold of it, Prince will have a #1 hit on the pop chart.

LOL, my kids adore this!, i love the music and with lyrics with a LOT MORE cred this could have been a killer!.

Agreed, IMO this song is garbage and embarrassing.

The thought of hearing this ridiculous mickey mouse song when I'm hangin' out with my friends almost makes me wanna jump of a bridge, lol ... seriously, it's hard to believe this is the same guy that wrote Adore!

That's right, the Org rules clearly state that you may not give opinions on Prince's music until you write, perform, record & produce your own music.... Oh, wait! No they don't!

Good, 'cuz I can't carry a tune...

That said, I keep thinking he should have saved this tune for Happy Feet 2, but then again, Song Of The Heart was much better than Everybody Loves Me.

Sorry for the double post!

Funny how a song about Love calls for people to spew such hate. Hmmm?

^You're very right.

We should all be forced to receive a lethal shoot while sitting on electric chairs inside a gas chamber.

Then, in case anything fails, a team of eye-blinded shooters should be ready for us.

But then again all that won't prevent this song from being a steaming pile of shit.

maybe Prince was joking around with this track, i dont know

its not my cup of tea either, but i still respect his right to record what he wants

i guess if we dont like it we can always skip it and listen to the other songs ?

LOL, if you're listening to the CD, then you have to skip 68 tracks to get to the next song!

lol i'm one of those horrible worm people who downloaded it from the net.

i just call up whatever song i want to hear or instantly skip the ones i dont like.

guess thats one of the ups to mp3 instead of negotiating with a CD.

but really, i can appreciate Prince's sense of humor, if thats what this song is...

Or you could write a really hilarious song on the org about how much it sucked. Thanks, man!

and stoop to his level? sure ok

As I opened this thread, my daughter came running through the room singing "Everybody Loves Me". She's only heard the song about 3 times too.

I like the song myself - as the lyrics say "there ain't no shame in having a good time" which is what this song is.

Seriously Guys, I love Prince as much as you guys but you cannot be defending this shit, its "whacker than a mother fuck" - dribble, garbage, trash, and if i was trying to convince someone that Prince is great and this song came on i would piss my pants.

cringeworthy and now beats Grafitti Bridge as my number one fucked up song by Prince..Congrats "ELM" number 1 with a bullet to the top of the shit list...

...Half of me thinks he was being Ironic and was trying to make a Joke Song like 'Movie Star' or 'Pretty Man' but that the Joke didn't have a punchline...

Exactly! I don't understand how people can say that this song is humorous or tongue in cheek. There isn't one single thing about the music or lyrics that could possibly be considered clever or witty.

The entire Brady Bunch/70's sing along vibe is a clever musical-vocabulary joke in my book, and the self deprecating simplistic narssicism message is funny. Imagine if Beck had put this on an album. That's the kind of humor.

This song is worse than Purle and Gold. DEFINATELY the WORST Prince track of all time. Cheesy. corny, stupid and amatuerish sounding. Prince could do so much better. What a waste of a song.

Funny how you can't read.

I didn't say I hate anything. Not once.

Hmmm?

I think it's pretty fun and qwerky prince. If it was something you heard from an 80's bootleg you'd think it was the shit. Now go sitdown and be happy you got some new prince tunes to listen to .

Don't forget to add in "make your mama Happy" "Poom poom" and somewhat in a way "jack U off"

La la la hee hee hee. Amazing music, but cringeworthy lyrics

yo gabba gabba type song!

Who cares, it's just one song. Play one you enjoy.

And that Yo Gabba stuff is retro-nonsense cool!

This song is such a kids song. I think that it's Prince's answer to " Everyday People", or "Jeromiah was a Bull Frog". It would be fun if Prince made a kids album, I have said that all along, but he needs to tell his fans "this is my kids album" like Ziggy Marley did.

I think that Prince has eyes on DJ Lance's job. I mean he likes to wear orange, he likes to wear tight fitted outfits, and he likes funky head gear/hats.
