RADIO never plays INTERNATIONAL LOVER anymore....

PRINCE unleashed that song in 1982, and that's arguably the greatest slow jam of all time

6 minutes of sheer sensuality done in the most beautiful way

I was 10 years old when that song was released and I was so amazed by it, and still am to this very day........

it's a shame we don't have love songs/slow jams like this anymore.......

It's a blinder. Gorgeous song.

It's a great song to do a strip tease to

It's a very sensual song, a pure wellness, an awakening, a journey, a "voyage" in the land of Joy, in music..

sometimes, I even laugh when listenning to Prince singing it

I imagine him saying "on board the A380," nayyyy, this wouldn't sound sensual such as B747..

It's a shame that we do! I agree with you about it being one of his best slow songs, but for some reason he feels compelled to put a song like that on each and every one of his albums and stuff like Better with Time just puts me 2

International Lover similar to Better With Time??

International Lover Lady Cab Driver Do Me Baby If the Kid Cant Make U Come Temptation If I Was Ur Girlfriend & Lovesexy are similar in direction to me, what other songs are like International Lover??

the direction with the sexual expression at the end that makes these^ similar

i have been jamming that one often the last week or so. i made a mix cd with tracks from each of the first 5 albums... I'm yours, just as long as we'er together, I wanna be your lover, why you wanna treat me so bad, jack u off, sister, uptown, dmsr, international lover, lady cab driver, all the critics love you in new york, how come you don;t call me... and my love's forever

I always liked to call the song "A 6 minutes Orgasm" lol

when I first said that, I was too young to know what an Orgasm Was haha, Now I know and I Agree with the Little me.

i love this song live via the 1999 & Purple Rain tour

yeah,

I love this song so much..

I have to admit back in '82 I thought that lyrically the song was ridiculous and an anti-climactic (pun intended) ending to his best album to date -- especially that monologue at the end. However now I appreciate it more having understood that not only was it a bit of a parody, but was actually written for Morris to sing.

Rather than call it a lesser version of "Do Me, Baby", I see it in the vein of "If the Kid Can't Make U Come"
