I don't know about you guys, but I love to listen to Prince when I'm driving or being driven somplace. And since I recently started writing a short film about driving called 'Cruisin' I figured I might as well poll what songs people like to listen to while they're driving. Some of my personal favorite Prince songs to "cruise" to are: Style, Love Sign (and it's remix from Crystal Ball), 17 Days, Ballad Of Dorthy Parker, Letitgo Sherm Stick Edit (The one that samples Ballad Of Dorthy Parker), Do U Lie, Anotherloverholenyourhead, Dear Mr. Man, Future Baby Mama, and Mr. Goodnight. Just to name a few that came to mind.

Ok... This is going to be hard! So I listed Playlists from the I-pod that are Prince directed. Also, I have a "Royals" list that I will also include. As you can tell, I do alot of driving/traveling for work!

1. Sexuality/Head/Soft and Wet/Gett Off (club mix)/Something in the water/It/Sexy Dancer(exstended version) /Darlin Nikki/Erotic City/Bambi/Sister/I want to be your lover/If I was your girlfriend/hot thing/Jack U off/ Let's pretend we'er married/Private Joy/ why you want to treat me so bad/Anastasia/Anotherloverholeinyourhead/ how come u dont call me/Irresistable"B"- This is the ah-ahum playlist

2. Forever in my life/Play in the sunshine/starfish and coffee/The beautiful ones/Power fantastic/Free/17 days/pink cashmere/mountians/ I would die for you/she's always in my hair/rasberry beret/ strange relationship/Take me with U/ most of the lovesexy CD ( but anastasia and when 2 R in love)/Kiss/Diamonds and Pearls/7/ Theves in the temple- This is the purple carefree playlist

3. When were dancing close and slow/ do me baby/when 2 R in Love/Venus /and some overlap with the Ah-ahum playlist- slow purple sweets playlist

4. The royal list has many songs that The Time, Sheila E, Wendy and Lisa, Madhouse, Andre Cymone, Vantiy 6 and the Family made.

I took another bubble bath... with my clothes on! Love the lyrics to Dorothy Parker one of Prince's not talked about enough songs!

Billy Jack Bitch

Let's Pretend We're Married

Tamborine

Extraloveable

It's About That Walk

Gotta have a peppy, funky beat for me to want to listen to it in the car. BJB is definitely my favorite as I can't sit still when I listen to that track.

Those are all great songs Which version of Extraloveable do you prefer? The vault version or the recently released single? I kinda like them both for different reasons

Erotic City,

Gett Off...

Currently:

Erotic City live from the '84 Birthday show

Peach live [days of soundboard]

Mutiny [recent free jam]

Guitar [album version]

That just about gets me home !

I think for long distant driving I've enjoyed listening to Prince's early albums best. They are so full of zest and heart felt funk. But really, any music by P is great for driving any distance

Take Me With U

The top 3: Let's Go Crazy, 1999, and Housequake.

VRROOOOOM!! of course! duh.

Love like jazz

all the critics love you in new york

this is all for fast driving on the highway. for cruisin' you might need some different ones

whenever i drive through town slowly, i like to roll down the windows and blast some shit

that people don't get. like joni mitchell.

nothing quite beats pulling into a parkingspace with joni's "the last time i saw richard" comin

out of your speakers at full volume. it makes the local youth cringe. i love that. they're like

"wtf is he doing? doesn't he know you need bass beats to be cool?".

Amen to that brutha . When I'm crusin downtown and I feel like being a little troll, I open my windows and blast The Temptations 'Just My Imagination' or like you said, Joni Mitchell. Most people look at me, then people my age (I'm 16 going on 17 in 10 days) say something to the extent of "Wtf is this trash? Why isn't he listening to new music?".

The Word, Love, In A Large Room with No Light, Empty Room, etc. I like to keep it moving when Im driving
