Put Prince On Shuffle - What Did You Get?
I love how he teases the band with this, especially Wendy. He uses it to warm up everyone's vocals while cracking jokes. He was funny. Shelby has a great voice and the band is tight, but I was itching to press skip. I held out and focused on Prince's guitar towards the end. | |

I had to supplement my Prince tracks over the years through different means. I instantly LOVED the Something in the Watr (Manchester) version and wished I could find the whole version. You are right, the crown was on point and really brought the song to life. Plus, P and 3rd Eye Girl (who are underrated IMO) really killed it.
Strays of the World was a favorite of mine back in the 1990's but in retrospect, Prince's decision to release on Crystal Ball was a good one. It would have destroyed the Come album. Race should have been a Crystal Ball release (IMO). Decent song, but not a favorite. "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

@home I always put Prince on shuffle I have a playlist on my tablet with (I think) 900 P songs, always a suprise what comes next.....
. If I was your Girlfriend (from SOTT movie)The man is a pure Genius with this song! Classic Prince song. Love the beat, the emotion, so vulnerable, it's one of my favourites. Funny, naughty, playfull, always a laugh when it's on (specialy loud in my car love the beat). . A Masterpiece and Prince on his best!!!Could listen to this all day, just beautiful . I will do 3 more, because this is fun . It's gonna be a Beautifull Night (from SOTT movie, also a great one to watch because of the energy on stage and the beautiful outfits!) Always great fun this song, makes me happy, can't sit still on this one...I always sing and dance while it's on. Love the energy. . Adonis and Bathsheba Always makes me smile and calm. I like it, but I don't play it much when it's not on shuffle.... . Girls and Boy's Always a great sing a long song...I can dream the lyrics! Typical P sound, makes me wanna dance! . Oke one extra....Now playing: Love... Thy Will Be Done (Prince version) Just beautiful...but I will stop now [Edited 10/9/16 8:26am] Forever in My Life.... | |

I agree on IIWYG!
. Yes It was the 12` version of SP the extended versions are a much more exiting in my opinion!
.
I also have the Sydney version (I´ve got the CD´s from both shows) but thats a different version. I don´t know which Show this JIR was from... got it on Youtube. This is the one https://soundcloud.com/us...no-version Just amazing!!!! Enjoy Forever in My Life.... | |

Violet The Organ Grinder-Hands down one of my favorite songs/videos. I always fall off my chair/bed when I see him hump the bed in the video Gett Off-When I first got into Prince, this quickly became my favorite song and was super obssed with it for 3 months. I like the extended version more Girl(extended version)-I find certain parts of this song hilarious and its one of those songs that you put on when you want to just relax or try to seduce somebody/make them laugh Forever In My Life, forever in my heart. I love you Prince Rogers Nelson | |

Oh I love this idea. I enjoy the 'let's play a game' threads. Note: on the device I have in front of me Lovesexy is missing...as it's on the turntable instead.
I'm Yours: I laughed out loud when this came on when I chose to play. How kismet and lovely for this to be the starting one. I can't love this song more, always takes me right back to the beginning of my Prince love affair when I ran around 'catching up,' pulling a bunch of albums off the racks and hoarding them in my room for private attention. The runs on the guitar, his voice on this (especially 'never have I wanted to til now'), everything just makes me smile.
Housequake: Wow. I enjoy this one, especially the silliness, the green eggs and ham, and the kick drum is the fault. I remember playing this back in the day for a friend and he asked me what that meant...I looked at him and said, 'you know...because it's a house quake?' I also love the live versions of this during Lovesexy, those transions into it were epic.
Dark: Ohh, yeah. I loved the Come album, those intros to the songs in that deep voice always make me quiver. I always talk back to this song, I'd never leave you Prince. I get two things from this song, it's sad, a break-up set to a slow jam, in a very Princely fashion...then, in the middle when he changes the lyric to you wanna hurt me baby, you wanna hurt me in the dark that makes me imagine he's taking out frustrations on someone else, someone willing and able. Then the musing end of it into the transition to Solo, such a beautiful thing.
PS: Prince is chiding me/teasing me, the next song that came up was Dirty Mind.

Second Go (because this was FUN):
Crazy You: Okay wow, I have 400 or something songs on here...and seriously, this is the one that comes up...god I miss you Prince. Whenever this starts, on funkatopia, in my playlist, wherever, I just close my eyes and lose myself in it. That acoustic does things to me, it does... That slow pick roll up the neck of the guitar along one of the strings, that...that just makes me feel all the things. For my favourite lines on this one, do see my signature.
It's About that Walk: Fellas would you look at that there... okay, just had to get up and dance to this one. That sharp intake of breath during this song...oohwee that's a lovely thing there, as are the fingersnaps and clapping. The funky drums during this always get to me, I just see him there playing this after a night at a club, making some poor sound engineer come record it for him at 5 in the morning. I also love the band directions toward the end of this, having fun and that ending giggle.
Raspberry Beret: Yeah I love this song, mostly because I can see that sexy little smirk he'd get on his face when he wanted us to sing it with him. I enjoy the almost breathy quality of his voice too..on mmmm I saw her for example. I can almost see the eyes rolling back in his head imagining when he sings I think I love her. The smack of that drum machine... I lived in my red beret for so many years, and I do in fact possess the hat he wore in the video (not the actual one, but one I made). I've worn it to the last night at the Proms (for non-Brits that's a set of summer concerts) and to The Boat Race (it's my lucky hat since whenever I win Oxford does too).
Bonus: I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man started up after...I love this one too! The drums and guitar throughout just do it for me (that hook)...the breakdown on it always gets my heart going. That gentle comforting to crying out to almost musing about how he'd 'do you' during that ill-fated one night stand in the guitar solo, well that's a beautiful lovely thing. When they really baked this over slow with some hard rock and jazz with 3rd Eye Girl...I was thrilled by it, wish he'd have released a version of all the 3rdEyeGirl 'reimaginings' they were so hard, so cool. Also, you're totally right Prince, I'd never be satisfied with a one night stand. | |

Girls and Boys - It Ain't Over CD Very funky jam - love listening to this. Prince is having a great time!
Housequake (Foefur's Mo-Quake Vocal Re-Edit) Another fun & funky track. I love this edit by Foefur
God (Instrumental) Just beautiful...mysterious, dark, romantic
I think the tracks give insight to Prince's Gemini nature - the way he could have dual (multiple) personalities. The first two selected songs show his funky side - and him having fun - a studio example and a live one as well. The other track, God, shows his more serious and introspective side | |

Nice idea, here's what I got: 1. 2020 - hmm, a nice to have as an unreleased track, but not a favorite 2. Shhh - so glad he took this back, this song is too good to remain a Tevin Campbell track 3. 1000 X's & O's - great, one of the better tracks from HnR1 | |

Considering the amount of live stuf I've got on my phone I was surprised that I got 3 album tracks.

Shuffled again today..... Shuffled GOLD Again
1. My playlist is Great! 2. I'm just Lucky with my shuffle 3. P is a real genius with fabulous songs, his music just blows you away! (I think this is the reason... )
Great Song, Just classic P and the lyrics make me laugh,especially this part: Baby didn't say too much, She said, "Are you gay?"Kinda took me by surprise, I didn't know what to doI just looked her in her eyes and I said, "no, are you?" P had a great sense of humor in his songwriting!!! And I always like the way how he says: "What's up little girl?" "I ain't got time to play". I play this song often in my car, love the energy (The entire Dirty Mind Album is e real treasure!) This song is a masterpiece in my Opinion! I never understood how this one never became a song thats in the Top 100 of all times! Whenever I hear this song I always think: 1. Prince....Then far behind 2. Mozart 3.Beethoven 4.Bach and other great mucisians/composers...I realy do! Incredibble songwriting and composing! The way he plays the long intro, the building of the song, His voice, the end "I'm blinded by the Daisy's...in your YYYYAAAAARRRDDDDD" Spectacular! Just beautiful, this song gives me goosebumps!
Pure Genius again! In the 80's when popmusic and Rock is hitting the charts, P comes up with UTCM and songs that fit the movie like a glove! Most people have still Purple Rain printed on their brains, and P always comes up with new songs you would never expect of him. I enjoy this song, It's happy, playful and I can even play it for my grandparents or little Children and they will like it!

I've always been a bit indifferent to this track, but it flows on perfectly from Computer Blue with its staccato drums, synth line and chugging guitar. In the past I tended to consider it as a throwaway track, but it actually sounded pretty good to me on headphones this time. I think I've probably listened to For You more in the last couple of months than I ever did over the previous 30 plus years. I'm really getting into its 'wet' soundscape and sweet vocals. I also love how he sounds so innocent on this song while coming out with lines like "I really wanna play in your river." | |
