Tamborine is the best thing off of AWTIAD I'm sorry but I listened to this song last night and it is some of the funkiest shit I've heard from Prince. I did not like AWTIAD that much but just this song alone makes the whole album bearable. I mean don't get me wrong there is some good stuff there (condition of the heart, pop life,paisley park) but it just doesn't hold that well.
BUT TAMBORINE IS THE SHIT!! | |

Taborine is a great track, but it's also in a great album.

I can’t ever believe it when people talk shit on this song. It is so damn funky!!
"Oh my God here you are, prettiest thing in life I’ve ever seen. Close my eyes, what’s it like, what’s it like inside your Tamborine? Oh my God there I go, fallin in love with a face in a magazine (uh-oh not again), all alone by myself, me & I play my Tamborine…..Troubling Troubling Troubling Troubling Lonely Lonely nights, Troubling. Lonely lonely nights, troubling. I don’t care for one night stands with trolley cars that juggle 17 " I think the trolley car line is such a crackup!! What a great way to refer to a loose woman….a pussy that can juggle 17 men at once!!! This song straight out kicks ass!!! Listen to him flipping out at the end and tell me that Prince aint funky. And it is "Troubling" as in being troubled at having to be all alone without someone to help play his “tamborine”. I love the creative way Prince sings about masterbation!! 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

Always liked that panting he does after he sings "Guess that I'll stay at home, all alone and play my tampourine" for the last time. A truly orginal song in the Prince catalogue. Probably his best masturbation song...how many other artists would have fans debating THAT topic???!!

Peace, TheKid Tambourine is the joint. I was listening to a Prince Funk Mix that I put together amd Tambourine was track 2 and the funk was all over the place. A hidden classic indeed!! | |

"Say papa...I think I wanna dance..." For me Paisley Park & ATWIAD are pretty much interchangeable, so if it makes you feel better ATWIAD can be 8 & PP can be 9 I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Tamborine, or America?
AMERICA. I can jam to that for hours - or at least 21 minutes on the 12 inch. The 12-inch MAKES that song the best one off of that record. Unless of course, you're willing to count SHE'S ALWAYS IN MY HAIR - which would MOST DEFINITELY be the best thing off that album - but it's not on the album, so it doesn't count. BUT DAMN. AMERICA Temptation Raspberry Beret and on, and on down to the 2 seconds between trk 1 and 2, the 2 seconds between 2 and 3, 3 and 4 4 and 5 etc, and THEN Condition of the Heart. What a piece of crizzle THAT shizzle is. What, did he forGET to turn off the echo chamber on that song? Sheesh. I just can't take that one... the "dance the dance electric!" call to arms. Oh, it makes me wanna just peel and orange and stick the rinds in my eyes. But sure, other folks might dig it. The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

Love it! But, forgive me if I'm wrong...I don't recall no organ in that song. Just Prince's nuts screaming and guitar and Eric Leed's sax (first appearance of sax on a Prince record?). | |

That's not Eric Leeds on that album. It's Eddie M., from Sheila's band. Eric was a part of The Family at this time. John | |

You are so right. Were you to take away the songs you mentioned, plus title track, The Ladder, Rasberry Beret and America, this album just wouldn't be bearable. Only one of his best albums ever, but as you say bearble would sum it up well. Don't even get me started on that average SOTT...

my favorite era of prince
i love the 12" extended versions and b sides. tamborine is cool, but not as cool as america, she's always in my hair, paisley park, and pop life. | |

Really underrated.
Tambourine is great, but I think ‘Condition of the heart’ is one of his best songs of all time. Actually as Prince is the greatest artist in the world, that would make it one of the best songs of all time. In my opinion America and Temptation are also just as good as Tambourine. | |

Great to see Temptation finally get some recognition. I used to think it was forgotten. | |
