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. shrug

He did, but didn't release it after his child died.

"Everybody Loves Me" is retro ironic cool. And it is Prince making fun of his own pop self... both his persona and his musicianship in a sense. It also shows a lot of creative muscle, and a continuation of his FU attitude to a certain degree.

Again imagine of someone like Beck had put this out. Or even Lady Gaga. I think you might get the humor then.

But I do love the idea of playing this song, and then cutting to Jerome saying that shit from Purple Rain...lol.

That's right! You guys tell that old Prince! Perhaps he will be calling you soon to ask you what you think he should record. Please give him good stuff, in detail because he needs your help to record a song. How in the world did he ever make it in the business without orgers help??? And personally, if you don't like the song, most cd players I know have this really cool thing on them called the "next" button, so that you can pass right over that track... technology is truly amazing. LOL

I'm about to contradict myself, but my least favorite song is "Had U". Of course, it was more of a personal thing for Warners, but..... couldn't he have just sent the song to them in an email or something? razz

I still think that DJ Lance better watch his butt, everybody wants to be him. Brad Pitt dressed like him on Halloween because DJ Lance is supper cool to the kidz cool Prince is such a funky freak he would be the best thing to happen to a kidz show as an off and on guest since Ben V.

Man, reading that post made me laugh like crazy....so at least that epic crap song kicked the mad humor out of MantuaPharoah. Before reading this I didn't want to get the album, now I have to..... wink

I remember some more glorious Prince lyrics....from "we can funk", isn't there something about peeing in somebody's cup?

MantuaPharoah said:

Sorry... but it's time for me to rant!

Everybody Loves Me

To call Everybody Loves Me a "joke" of a song is a monumental understatement. I think it's the worst song Prince has ever written. It should be the theme song at Chuck E. Cheese. In fact, I think that even the Chucky E. Cheese people would turn this piece of steaming feces down, and kick Prince the fuck out of the corporate offices for suggesting that they play this song for kids.

Even the Oompa Loompas from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory wouldn't sing this piece of shit. They'd tell Willie Wonka to suck their little midget orange dicks, and walk the fuck off the job.

The song makes me sick to my stomach. It's a shame because while the music isn't terrible... the words, and the fact that they're coming from Prince, and not say... Barney the Purple Dinosaur... suck!

The Jerrys Kids Telethon people wouldn't even play this shit!

This song sounds like a birthday celebration song for a child that was abandoned and left on a doorstep.

I love the guy's music. I've been a fan for almost 30 years. But I have no idea what the fuck Prince was high on when he wrote this song, rehearsed it, and eventually decided to spew into the world. No wonder the fucking album was free! This song de-valued the entire project, and not even Target would touch it!

Fuck Target. Not even K-mart would release this shit. Fucking "Dollar World" even told Prince to get back in the car and leave.

Like Jerome said in Purple Rain... "That was fucked up what you did, man. Morris doesn't like it and neither does Ronald McDonald.

This song sucks on epic levels! Prince must have been trying to throw his 30+ year legacy down the toilet in 4 minutes and 7 seconds.

If this was the first song that I had ever heard from Prince, I would have saved SO MUCH MONEY over the years on attending concerts and buying every album (released and otherwise) that I could get my hands on.

Imagine this song as the closer in the Purple Rain movie instead of Baby I'm a Star. Billy Sparks would have gotten up on stage, kicked Prince's ass, and BEGGED all those people to please come back in!

I just chalk this bullshit up as a senior moment. It's like Prince had a spell of Alzheimers and thought he was the love child of Elton John and Tiny Tim.

This sounds like a Wierd Al Yankovic song... AFTER Wierd Al changed the lyrics!

Prince, hook me up with some of that shit you were smokin' when you thought this was a good idea. What's it called??

Pineapple Express??

WHAT THE FUCK????????

One man's cheese is another man's bacon I guess. I think the song is nearly comparable to some of his SotT work. Nearly. As in "'he's fifty two, what do you expect?' nearly".

The only song that stuck with my wife and I after our first listen to the cd. Then again most footie songs get stuck in my head too.

I'm resigned to the fact that my musical idol is a pop artist, with the emphasis on pop, who is now entering his later years (despite his 'away with the fairies' ideas on longevity) and therefore can't be expected to enthral and delight me the way he once did. He's too old and so am I. Leave the passion, angst and rapture to the teenagers where it rightfully belongs I say.

Is Sesame Street still going then? I'm glad we never had it much over here as I'd have never got past the letter P or the number 12. Perhaps later shows continued the alphabet but in England we just had the same bloody episodes all the time. And how about Bert and Ernie? Talk about the bully and the meek.

And as for Why Don't You!?!?!? My first introduction to the Scots and probably why most of the English can't stand the fucking accent. No offence, my old mate, Craig, was from Dunfermline and I used to take the piss quite a bit. In fact another old mate, Bruce, is also Scottish. Haven't seen him since leaving the RAF though. Either of them for that matter. Nothing to do with the accent. And I like Billy Connolly.

Back on track, I like Everybody Loves Me. Only Prince could sing it and get away with it. He's a cheeky lad after all.

I like Daddy Pop, the music of Jughead (is the same pattern as Housequake), My Name is Prince, Arrogance/The Flow, Now (minus the stoner voice), Joint 2 Joint, Illusion Coma... all quite a bit.

My four year old loves the song. And he has taste.

So clearly it could be played on 'Sesame Street'.

La, La, La.. hee hee hee was a b-side, and I heard someone say that it was a dare by Sheena Easton. She dared him to write a song with that title, which he did. Is that true? anyone? Anyway, besides the lyrics that guitar and music is funky as hell in that song!

Thank you all for putting up with me ranting. I just had to express my true innermost gut feeling about this song.

When I listened to it, I wasn't embarrassed for Prince. Fuck him.

I was embarrassed for ME!

I got friends that know I dig this guy's music! What the fuck does that say about me? What the fuck does that say about MY legacy?

Now I gotta suffer because Prince decides to record himself on crack?

First I had to defend Purple and Gold, and now I have to defend Everybody Loves Me... in less than 6 months. That's too much for one fan to ask!

Yes, I know some of you commented about technology, and how I can skip the song. Yes, some of you suggest that one man's cheese is another man's bacon!

But you can't serve prime rib for years, and then expect a man to step into a Slim Jim!

I don't ever recall Michael Jordan going 1-for-25 from the floor, and then being ejected from the game for mooning the fans! WTF!!!

PRINCE MOONED HIS FANS WITH THIS ASS TURD RELEASE of a SONG!!!

It's like Tricky said... "Because it's a full moon and I'm a werewolf bitch, KISS... MY... ASS".

Well I'm tired of kissing Prince's ass! I enjoy much of 20Ten... I really do. But that song shouldn't even be played for the deaf!

I GOT A STOMACH ACHE listening to that song! I tried to like it. I really did. That's why I listed to it 10 times in a row. But when the paint started to peel off my walls as some sort of a fucked-up reaction, I ceased and desisted.

La, La, La, He, He, He is a BRILLIANT tune! I love that song... especially the extended version! Thank you SavonOsco! That song is a CLASSIC!

But this song is CLASSICALLY BAD!

I'm done. That's it. I'm not gonna "git happy", or none of that shit.

HIS WORST SONG EVER!!!!!
