Responsible for one of the coldest/funniest lines.

You all know which one.

I've always thought that the track "Billy Jack Bitch" deserved all the praise this one, gets.

Altho the lyrics are "...a black child goin' buck wild..."

it has always sounded like "fuck wild" to me.

am i the only 1?

This song kicked ass live!

Love it. I lol'd when he did the the hee-hee and the kick on Chris Rock show!

I just don't like it, a weak morose rap. 99's Dead like Elvis line does not help either, one of the weakest cuts on Emancipation, sorry

I like this funk track!!

And I like the a-capella version a lot, from the maxi vinyl 12 inch.. that guitar added sounds incredibly GGOD.

In case you haven't heard: go check this..

I totally love the songs and its video. The lyrics are a wonderful "fuck you", though I've never understood these lines:

"Him and her meaning who I'm singin' about
And his psychoanalyst kinda saw the catalyst
As the devil with the blue jeans on, huh"

Anyone can translate 4 me ?

Thanks

PS: I remember that girl which was hysterical about the video and said : "Wow! This video now demonstrates that Prince can play violin and horns too, he's such a genius!". I explained to her that Christopher Reeves actually wasn't really flying in the Superman movies

TOTALLY AGREE!

In fact this is the definitive version of this song for me. I love the original but the cursing is just too much for me...I think in the a-capella version he realized all of that cursing was a bit too much. If only he added the base in there!...It would have been amazing! But nevertheless, it's funk number!

The "devil with the blue jeans on" is a metaphor for white oppressors and you sign the contract with the name they gave you.

I love the song. Fantastic.

Love this song. All versions, as well as the video.

Yes. His Bass solo was insane. The live video version- when he plays the bass through his legs while he is jumping up and down is physically unbelieveable. It's one of those P moments (like the backwards crawl/splits across the stage in SOTT movie during Housequake) that make you gasp for air.

Incredible moments.

I only saw this video recently, and was abit stunned to see him fooling around with these instruments...it was F***..g obvious he was not playing them..clearly a Homer Simpson moment...

I like the acappella version, but there is an edit in the version that I have. Some of the lyrics are edited, so I'm not sure if this same edit is on the vinyl version.

Yep, the vinyl version edits the swearing out of the a-cappella

It is better live. I think the video is too cheap.

... this song is PEFECT for people in my life that are no longer 'in' my life. Funky, Funny and LIVE was jaw-dropping
