Whats the opinion of this song on the org? Any alternative versions LOL (I own boots from the "Chaos and disorder" era but don't remember any?)

I think its a fun song and it works well for me. I like the chorus, aswell as his funky guitar breakdown. Anyone know the sample at the end of the track?

CRAP

The only songs that I still dig from C&D are Dinner with Delores, The Same December and Had U...

I like it.

More people seem to hate it than like it here.

I'm in the 'like it' camp (although the horns grate on me a little).

he is taking the piss with this one.......isnt he?........its another wedding feast and everybody loves me.....he is at it

Yes, there's an alternate (rougher) version circulating.

Although it might not be anywhere near his best, it's definitely no everybody loves me!

For me, the Chaos And Disorder album goes along at a nice clip until this one comes on. "I'M SIX FEET IN THE GRAVE!!! I'M SIX FEET IN THE GRAVE"..the song was already kinda corny and then all that caterwauling brings it to a whole 'nother level of noxious dog fart..

That said, I'd take this song as well as nearly anything else he's put out there, over that terrible rapper in "I Rock Therefore I Am". Never thought the words "Show me your titties" would induce dry heaving.

Right on, man. Wherever that guy is today, I hope his boss makes him stay late tonight and clean the grease traps.

You didn't see that coming? As soon as I heard the line "like an embryo babe...." and the crunching sound of barrel scraping with "more than I love my hair...yeah yeah yeah"

The fact that despite these lyrics, although I think the hair-line (haha) is actually funny, I Like It There remains so good, must mean it's one of his best songs ever.

And Had U is great too baby!

And oh yeah, and I love Right The Wrong, it rocks. It's more enjoyable than anything in the last 10 years. Now that's a wrong that should be righted!

I like the sound of "Right the Wrong" and the lyrics of "Right the Wrong." By using a tale about a 17-year old locked up for "Stealing" ice cream, especially if the listener supposes that kid is black, Prince is painting the notion that all imporversihed people must unite if the plan to control their destiny, and he is drawing a combination between Africaness and Indianess. The song is an excellent idea and well executed.

But equally ridiculous if he claims to have any notion of that lifestyle...the guys been cocooned in wealth, tailored clothes, women, cars and yes men since the late 70's...the worlds moved on but he wouldn't know it

I agree with what you're saying but like a lot of his songs, he's just telling stories and like someone else said taking the piss with a fake accent.

The Chaos & Disorder album gets slated but there's still a few good songs on it and I loved the 95ish era sound of this along with Come, Gold, Exodus. C&D is obviously the weakest and lyrically (yes, the 'show me your titties' line) leaves a lot to be desired.
