That song.....

That video.....

as far as lyricism goes, only prince can write something like this.

any love for this song out there?

I used to spend hours watching the Gett Off video (back in the old days). Violet is an absolute classic and the video is awesome.

Many of my girlfriends have started to appreciate Prince by watching this video... it was a good introduction !!

Yes I have converted many a Prince fan using this video. That video came at the perfect time of my adolescence that I could taste the curves of those gold babes. I wore my video out!

Not bad for a rehash of Gett Off, i like it.

'and i pumped, and I pumped until the gossamer just jumped!. I swear when I watch that video it looks like he's gonna come out of the screen and seduce the nearest woman in the house!.

Is that what he says? I always thought it was "until the 'gasm I had just jumped", but thought it was a bit of a shitty line.

Great song, great (cheap) video, love it.

Love it.

similiar to "Darling Nikki" but overrall pretty good

i got love for it

Best track off the "Gett Off" maxi single.

Love it too. I loved that whole early 90's video max single stuff. It was another event era.. I'm assuming beyond the Thriller video thing that this was pushed at this time by Justify My Love by (Performed-yes Ingrid I'm aware of you). It just wouldn't happen now. I Know we all moan about Prince and U tube etc but don't you miss the days where everything was an event. Even now at 38 yrs I'd save my sweet (Beer) money to buy product like that.

Love this song.

Love it. I thought the lyric was "'gasm," too, Erik. Seems that "'gasm" would make more sense, but whatever. I need to have nasty, greasy sex to this song.......

Love this song too! Cool video. First use of the chained hat. I prefer Gangster Glam over this one, though. The dj at Glam Slam used to blast that one all the time.

Dang, i thought the line was "...until the gas in my chest jumped..." I guess I was way off!

Great song and video though. I loved those golden ladies in the cages. The whole vibe is very Prince.

I guess I'll be the voice of decent and say that the early '90s remix singles never appealed to me. Seems like Prince was just being trendy and letting others remix his songs because everyone else was doing the same thing. I think, for the most part, they sound terribly dated and I would have much preferred original b-sides.

LOVE it!!

This has completely different lyrics, it's not just someone remixing his song. I know some remixes were done by other, but I don't think this is one of them.

Eh, it's kind of halfway between a new song and a remix. Sure, it has new lyrics but the music is basically a continuation of "Gett Off." According to the credits it was remixed by Keith "KC" Cohen. I figure if Prince attached this guy's name to the song he must have made a significant contribution to it.

Obviously a lot of folks disagree with me and enjoy these releases but I've always disliked cd singles where all you get is multiple versions of the same song, especially from someone like Prince who has so many songs in the vault. Other than "Horny Pony" I don't think we got any new b-sides until "Rock and Roll Is Alive! (And It Lives In Minneapolis)." I can't help looking at the early-mid '90s as a missed opportunity for him to have released more new music. It would have been fantastic if he had done something similar to what a lot of British groups were doing at that time. You often got more new songs on the b-sides of singles released from an album than you got on the album!

Love the song.

I didn't have the CD with me so wasn't sure if someone else remixed it or not. But I think it's still different than a typical remix since it clearly had Prince's involvement with all new lyrics.

I guess Sex from the Scanalous Sex Suite predates the period you're complaining about.

Beautiful from the Beautiful Experience is technically a remix but basically is a whole different song. With that maxi-cd he had restrictions from WB on what he could put on it.

I took all the pictures U gave me
And I placed them right under my bed
And I pumped and I pumped
'Til the 'gasmer just jumped
From my feet 2 the top of my head, oh boy!

Classic. I always thought the lok of the vid was a throwback to the 1999 era. To me, he looked sort of how he did on the Lets Pretend Were married 12 Inch cover.

Is in my top ten Prince songs ever

The Organ Grinder is Badass!

Love it! Love it! LOVE IT!!!!
