Let's Pretend We're Married

Is it just me or does it sound like it could of been a Vanity 6 song? It reminds me alittle bit of Drive Me Wild, did Prince ever consider it for the girls?

No. It does seem like something he and dex cooked up rock style like He's So Dull etc. But Prince put the new wave spin on it and sang it himself.

'Let's Pretend We're Married'... is far better than any V+A 6 song, imo.

it sounds what it is: a Prince single.

A little unfair this Prince song wasn't a hit.

Great song and great B-side not to forget that.. cool

(..... In case you forgot, the flip side was - 'Irresistible Bitch' worship )

I got LPWM mixed up with Delirious. I always thought Lets Pretend made it to no.10. they played it a lot on Kiss FM in Los Angeles. My bad.

I don't think the video got airplay because it is pretty poor quality imo. Too much smoke and the lights flashing are too bright.

The other three videos from that album looked a lot better than Let's pretend.

Prince sure is an eloquent poet.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.
