I think I'm all done with "Raspberry Beret" and "Take Me With U". I used to love those songs, now they sound corny.

I love Cheese on toast Both of them.

Take Me With U was tired years ago - the weakest song on PR imo.

I fall in and out of boredom with Raspberry Beret - because it is very well written but overplayed.

I love TMWU. so no.

I like the longer, unreleased version of Take Me With U. The ending is just gorgeous.

where are you all hearing these songs so much that you're tired of them?

You mean the live version with the guitar solo? I love that video and version for sure!

Until recently, I would have totally agreed. Hearing him talk about Lisa and Wendy and playing it on piano has given it new life for me. He didn't play it with Take Me With U when I heard it. He actually sang the lyrics and didn't have the audience do the whole song.

Right. Now go tell The Rolling Stones it's time to retire Satisfaction and Brown Sugar. Good luck...

Nah, Purple Rain is his "Satisfaction" and "Let's Go Crazy" is his "Brown Sugar". He has way too many other good songs that he can play. I know the fair weather fanse like TMWU and Beret, but screw them!

It was cool to hear about Wendy and Lisa, but they also did the string intro to "Pop Life" He should play that one now! He never plays it!

The first million times I heard it, especially the drum intro, I loved it, but maybe just need a break. The drums on the intro always reminded me of drums just falling down a hill. Such a cool intro.

I Love both songs.. I'm just tired of them being coupled together... it was nice at first.

Played together? Agree whole heartedly.

Separately, I have a soft spot for Take Me With U

OH MOST DEFINITELY.. these have GOT TO GO already... of course they are classics.. but they need to dry out for a bit..

i mean.. what i would not give to hear When DOVES CRY this often in concert!!!!

seriously, some things in the universe dont make sense!

Both songs are Prince classics.

No time for a retire..

Guess I appreciate a nice ear of sweetcorn, essential songs live, he plays them and they get the screaming and reaction, songs liked by fam and I have Purple Rain crowd alike.

Will never tire of these songs.

Could be family members, I cant listen to Raspberry Baret too much now cause my mom plays it a lot lol. Now she's gotten a hold of Wonderful Ass and plays it eveeerryydayyy

lol I never hear these songs that much unless I play them, there is a radio station I listen to that plays a good number of Prince songs, these 2 are included. But I'm more excited that anything to hear them on the radio...

You MOTHER is playing Wonderful Ass ? lol funny

I guess anything can be played too much,

I'd be okay with RB but not with Take me with U. Average fan wouldn't be happy though.

I don't have that problem, here in Mexico is so rare to ever listen Prince on the radio; most people don't even know who is him; and when they do, they think of him as a weird and gay guy. But what the hell do they know, people over here are so full of prejudice and ignorance.

"Take Me With U" is my favorite song. It's the first song I ever learned how to play on guitar. My daughter sang it with Prince one time. For me, it should NEVER be retired.

Also, I will fight anyone that says "Rock and Roll Love Affair"'s riff is the same as the one on "Take Me With U".

It's the studio version. Edited down for time (I believe) on the PR album. I wish it was in pristine quality, but it sounds good enough to enjoy.
