Delirious.Most underated masterpiece

I'm here in Toronto where the dude lived for several years and maybe it's different in the US or in your town but I never hear this tune played or discussed. Furthermore I rarely hear it on netradio. This jam is the shit from the vocals one of his top 20 in my opinion to the quirky production to the toe tapping till your toe breaks off factor. Love this song and will always be in my mind the quintessential Prince "zone"

Delirious was ok, funky but has a really cheesy repetitve synth sound.

I prefer Love or $ to be more under rated as a masterpiece and not too many people talk about this track...

The B-side Horny Toad is the underated track.

Love the lyrics and delivery.

I enjoy Delirious but if I had to pick between this track and "Turn It Up", I'm not sure I would have made the same choice Prince did when he developed his final track listing for 1999 hmmm

A robin sings a masterpiece that lives and dies unheard...

1. Delirious was a huge skating rink jam back in the day, even though it never had an official video that I ever saw.

2. The local tv station used it as the soundtrack to a Gilligan's Island promo. Mary Ann and Ginger twisting to "Delirious".

3. I never liked it much
