Gotta love this tune! Jazzy... festive... fun.

This is Prince at near his artistic best!

My favorite line in the song is "I'll wrestle with a tiger and suffer every claw".

The fact that he says "suffer", just shows that he was totally in sync with his feelings... willing to suffer so that his admiration was known.

This song would probably have never been a huge hit on radio, but it should have definitely seen a brighter light of day than being released the way it was... on pretty much a throwaway compiliation.

Fantastic tune!!!

I'll do anything 2 have U like me
I'll do double 2 have your love
I'll move mountains 2 make U happy
Mountains, oh yes, because
What good is a me if it ain't got a U?
What good is dream if it don't come true?
I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do, ooh
I'll fall off the Eiffel Tower if only 4 applause
I'll wrestle with a tiger and suffer every claw
I'll paint a beard on the Mona Lisa even though its my favorite jaw
I'll do anything, anything because


What good is a captain if he ain't got a crew?
What good is a room if it ain't got a view?
I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do


Wait a minute


Wait a minute..
There's a good reason why I'd do anything, baby
And that reason is U
Check this out..
What good is a car if it ain't got no gas?
What good is a future if it ain't got no past?
What good is a one if it ain't got another one 2 make it 2?
What good is a me, baby, if it ain't got a U?


What good is a dream if it don't come true
And what if I live 4 your love?
Be justa strollin' through
I'll do any, anything
Anything 4 U, it's true


I'll do anything, baby
Anything 4 U


I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do, ooh ooh
I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do, ooh ooh

I've always loved this song. The demo version is very interesting as well.

But my favourite song off the I'll Do Anything sessions is 'Make Believe' (both normal and funk versions).

Agree with that.

Make Believe is the one from these sessions.

Another gem confimed to the vault

Nothing of this music would've been popular on the radio as it was all cheezy broadway crap.

all them songs were fire, son
