Has this masterpiece ever been performed live?

I'd love to hear it!

ROTFLMAO!

I'm serious.

mrdespues said:

I know. That's what so funny.

No really. I'm serious. A live version would kick arse.

"c'mon, c'mon', c'mon! right the wrong baybee! wooo hooo!"

can't you just see Prince doing a line dance to this genius tune live!

how can you knock that brilliant guitar run before he says "far be it for me to say..."

and what about the "ow-wa!"

ANY prince song that has that has to be at least somewhat good!

Jughead vs Right The Wrong.

Better record - Jughead
Better live - Right The Wrong

I just played "Right the Wrong" to my girlfriend for the first time, then "Graffiti Bridge" (the song).

And she looked at me during both songs as if she was very bored and wanted me to die...BUT!

She did say that "at least the first one was funky" and she seemed to like the "ow-wa!" bit.

She said "Graffiti Bridge" was incredibly gay.

Verdict: Right the Wrong is certainly NOT his worst song (at least according to my girfriend, a casual Prince fan).

AGREED! At least you recognise that Right the Wrong isn't that bad.

mrdespues said:

I think the 'showcasing the band' part of the record, would rock live. Just like The Jam.

Anji said:

agreed! it has a good band sound. jughead has a shitty band sound...but prince's rap is amusing in a good way.

mrdespues said:

I love Prince's vocal on Jughead. I like the record but Tony M. doesn't usually translate well live.

Right the Wrong rawks man, I don't care what anyone else says... The whole first half of Chaos and Disorder is slammin.

mrdespues said:

Incredibly gay? How is it that the Breeders love to use that adjective??

er, I don't know how it is that the Breeder's like to use that adjective. Do you mean my girlfriend is ripping them off or something? what a strange thing to say.

we need more of this kind of positivity about this great song!

Come on! The tune, as a whole, suck big time! Prince does Country & Western - badly!!! It's easy to pick little bits in any of Prince's tunes and say, "That's cool" - the man is a genius in production and musicianship, so there is always going to be something, even if it lasts 2 seconds!

For example, in RTW I love the Stevie Ray Vaughan type rhythm lick that occurs in the breakdown. I also love how low reaching and deep the bass is, but, erm, that's it!

But, to say this tune is genius is like an alchemist saying he can turn dog-shit in to diamonds!

There is an unreleased version of this track that is reportedly much better from a musical standpoint than the album version.

On the other hand a lot of people are often surprised by the turn of phrase and the social commentary (which, if anybody is still wondering, deals with the wrongs heaped upon the native Americans). Bob Dylan would have killed for a lyric like this.

Quite apart from that, I still would not inflict this on a non-fan.

Not this again! Mr Despues and his one-man crusade.Pushing 'Right the wrong' is worse than pushing drugs IMO.

masterpiece
Sorry, couldn't help myself. I jusy thought that nobody actually liked this song.

this song rocks big time live and again,it has a very important message. i even hear people on MTV using it in their slang.

U people are pushing me over the edge! Carry on with this Right The Wrong loving and I just might have to up and leave to wackojacko.com

This song makes me cringe so badly!

Each to their own though

U are an idiot !

here IDIOT.COM

And why is that? Because I have an opinion? I think you ought to justify your statement, otherwise you are the only one who looks like an idiot!

Nope - can't do it? Won't do it? Ok let me help you.

The reason you felt compelled to just insert some abuse following a considered opinion is that you find it impossible to comprehend that someone may dislike something Prince did. This is evident from a very quick review of your past posts, which show you to be an inflammatory ass-kisser!

Of course, if it is anything other than what I have said there, you will be more than willing to disprove my theory.

Perhaps you will even discuss exactly, why you consider Right the Wrong to be a work of genius?

Come on, "Sing the song"!!

That statment right there...Who made you the Genius track picker? Idiot, So what if he likes it and thinks it's genius. Opinion's are like a-holes everybody's got one and my opinion of you is Idiot.

So, by your own logic, who made you the idiot picker?

Your argument says nothing! Yes, everyone has an opinion (got any more truisms you'd like to "enlighten" people with?!) - his is that this track is genius (along with TWO other people here), myself and the concensus is that this is one of the worst tracks of Prince's career!

So, idiots are people that disagree with someone else, hmmm? Well, let's come down to your level now - I would say that your constant agreement with everything that Prince does makes you a cocksucker!

Now, try posting something that's actually worth the bandwidth!

Oh God...Right the Wrong is just...wrong.
