Don't Play Me Appreciation

I just love this song. It doesn't matter if it's the studio version or if it is played live. I haven't heard any artist make a song telling people to pretty much stop critisizing and to not listen to their music.

Favorite line:

Don't play me, baby. I already do in my car.

At the webby awards, he plays this and I think its priceless how someone says "Come on, Prince. Rock out!" and Prince just stops in the middle of a verse, plays a mini solo, and skips to the chorus. smile

What is your main problem?
To whom it may concern: I love you!

Cool song! I too love both versions. The webby awards performance was pretty awesome. I wish he`d do more acoustic work, but then again I wish he`d do a lot of things even though he`s already done so much. We`re just never completely satisfied as Prince fans... well, I guess I can only speak for myself anyhow smile

I love how everyone who won an award had to give a speech with only 5 words in it and his was "everything you think is true" smile so prince.

10/10 this song. The music, lyrics, feel everything.

Isn't it also on OFFS?
