i had forgotten how good this song was until i gave it a listen the other day. It's funky and catchy and a stand out song on PE album

i have to agree with this. one of the few recent songs that i did not feel a.t. a.l.l.

perhaps if he'd sing the lead on it, but even then, it's just "meh" all the way imo.

there's probably 10 songs in his entire catalogue that i hear and just go

"ugh, no please just hit skip" and this is one of them

"The music's slammin, but it's about these words..."

Don't like it...

I must also agree.. and I liked almost all of Planet Earth. This song was really the only weak spot to me.

Agreed, I did a disc with PFUNK instead of CR and it's a large improvement.

Sounds VERY familiar!

All the fairweather-fans on here will claim now that it's just a coincidence, as ususal

There are way too many coincidences like this in Princes career, if you ask me....

Love this track. It just came on shuffle yesterday and I thought about how it's always a pleasure when it does. This one stomps!

I like this song too - it is bouncy and happy. I love the tempo of it. The video is fun too.

I LOVE IT...... anything "house" sounding from Prince I love which is rare......

Does he staes this is for Jersey in the beginning, I swear he says that...oh well if he doesn't it received well in the house scene here.

I like it a lot.

In some sense it reminds of some of the mid-90s work that had him share lead vocals ("Return Of The Bump Squad"), but the disco beat makes it more playful than anything he did at the time. I don't know how the people on this site can dislike a song with such a catchy melody. I find it hard to believe the dislike stems from anything else than the disco elements. Each to their own though.

It's certainly not house.

Does he ever play that song anymore?

I like it but I have to be in the mood for it. Not a bad song just too much shelby in it.

I associate this song with waiting for Prince to play an after show gig.

Dr. John played. After three songs the roadies took Prince's the telecaster off the stage.

Dr. John finished his set and said Prince would be out in a minute.

Half hour later the DJ put Chelsea Rodgers on.

The crowd loved it and danced and danced (the first time it was played) by the third time the DJ played it - we all knew Prince wasn't coming and just layed on the floor until we were kicked out of indigo2 and had to wait outside for the tube to start.

Sad song for me now.

Maybe the version you have is not, but I fortunately had someone remix the song and extend into a house mix, the bass line alone made it very easy.

like the music, should have a been a (bside) song, love to drive fast when listening to it

WOW!

Let's hope he wrote AZOTO a check for rippin' off that bass line....

I love it. It's tons of fun.

I knew I'd heard that bass line some where before.

Definitely the best song on the dreary "Planet Earth" album and one of his best jams of the 2000s. It's funky and it's got that sassy falsetto that lets you know instantly it's "Prince". Hell, if it were up to me, he'd be required to sing every song in falsetto.

I don't hear any house in it either. What I'm hearing is disco influenced and hell, disco should be the goal that every artist should strive to achieve. What made R&B in general of the early 1980s so great is because a lot of it was still bleeding off of disco's "death". The further music got away from disco throughout the years, the worse it became.
