This track has always been difficult for me. If I'm honest, it doesn't quite deliver for me... yet something about it is sooo doggone charming. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Yeah...a 'don't look into his eyes' post. It always baffled me how a dude can walk on a stage with coiffed hair, pancake, eyeliner and mascara, high heels and a lacy outfit and get the ladies panties droppin'...with a ferociousness not ofen seen. I just don't get it  [Edited 4/12/15 9:04am] | |

Might I nominate: AVALANCHE Not only does Prince's Patriot-baiting Piano-piece manage to right the wrong that was "Right The Wrong" it has an industry-related second verse less alienating than "Colonized Mind"'s. "Had to get off the boat so I could walk on water..." |

I took the Elephants and Flowers to be about how GOD made big things like elephants and small delicate things like flowers... "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" |

still don't get why so many people love that demo version so much. i hate it with a passion. the lyrics are so awful. it's like he's just improvising the whole first verse
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Maybe that's what they like... the idea that he's flying by the seat of his pants. Sometimes that just doesn't work though. I prefer the released version too--I suspect if the other had actually been the released version, it would not rank particularly high in people's estimation. . Of course, I could be wrong. | |

Demo one sounds cool and has a heavy, minimal, more muscular tone, from his voice to the sax. The lyrics also seem more interesting and vivid to me. The released version is like the top 40 kiddie version of a harder song complete with toy xylophone happy sounds and high pitched happy synths... not as cool!

I think that aspect gets over looked: "Love the one who IS Love...the one that dances with power, the one who made everything....elephants and flowers. the one who will listen when all others will not...there will be love for those that love God a lot"
to me that is some deep stuff... "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" |

not necessarily THE most underrated, but a lost-forgotten gem for sure
