Loving this song at the moment.

when it came out I didn't pay it much attention, but it came on my Ipod after An American in Paris and Bliss and It has a similar sound to the 1989 Prince sound. I love the the backwards guitars and sonically it's very interesting.

I think it's one of the single most awful things that Prince has put out.

Each to their own though.

ten page discussion about this song from way back in October 2010 when the track was first streamed

I will say i haven't bothered listening to it since - ok, but autopilot confused

I keep forgetting this song exists until folks post about it. falloff

I barely remember what it sounded like except it sounded like somebody trying to impersonate the old Prince, but not doing it very well. It was kind of boring.

I kinda like it better now that the CDQ version leaked. When you listen to it with headphones, you can hear some little quirks that you may not otherwise notice. As a song, it could use some changes or an edit or something cuz it kind of meanders. I also think it sounds like a song he could've gave to Mavis.

Yeah not the best P song ever but some fun clever lyrics...kind of a throwaway song and better than nothing.

But I figure I'm sure there are a lot of billionaires who are fans and leth him crash and their mansions and use their private planes, etc...interesting look into his lifestyle.

Disastrous song.

I remember people creaming their manties over it when it was leaked/released/broadcast/whatthefuckever.

I think it's the worst song Prince ever released.
