"I can deal with a sucker if he's in your mouth, but I can't deal with insincere." One of his best one liners.

Ya thought wrong! lol It's a b-side remix from 1991's "Gett Off" single, from Diamonds and Pearls. One of his best b-side remixes/remakes. The other, for me, being the last 3 tracks on the New Power Generation maxi single: "Get Off", "The Lubricated Lady", "Loveleft, Loveright".

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

My fave track on the 'Gett Off' maxi-single. Blew my mind the first time I heard it - I think it was the first time I heard a remix that had been turned into basically an entirely new song. I used to listen to that maxi-single more often than the actual Diamonds and Pearls album.

There's a video. It's strange. There's gold women in cages, Prince on a bed rolling his eyes and caressing something..can't make out what it is. Everything bathed in Purple light and a menacing atmosphere.
Baby, you're a star.

He was way too fond of that particular sampled moan.

I think sexy cages were a thing in 1991 and this video is more creepy than sexy.

OMG, this is even creepier if smartphones existed. shocked

The video is anything but difficult to find on the web. Never cared for the tune itself, but his sartorial style was on point.

I'm sorry, that is not where all of your missing socks in the dryer went. You should really blame someone else.
