When I listen to “We can Fu*k”, I imagine that.....

Prince is singing it to the girl that Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney are arguing about in the next room!

I always liked that track! And Mr. C is another Cancerian! Prince knew many water sign individuals(including his father!). Interesting!!!

No. We Can Fuck from 1983 does not have George Clinton on it.

its for the most part the same song, when listening to the bare bones of the tracks

now, the '83 version of We Can Fuck is much more raw and .... i just don't understand how or why people prefer the '90 "We Can Funk" to the '83... I mean 1990 is so over-produced with those 90s sounding drums and lyrics of pissing in a cup lol

We Can Fuck is like 11/10

1990 We Can Funk is like 7/10

Now if we wanna talk about 1986 We Can Funk...oh mama......that's the shit right there... that's a 100/10 right there... Prince was born to record that and Miko was born just to do that little solo.... everything else in their lives were small potatoes....

It was probably written for Apollonia when Prince got her to break up with David Lee Roth. About the same time.

No mixtape for a girl is complete without three versions of this song

Will steal the previous "How old are you?" question. lol

I'm not normally one to nit pick with language, and I love the song "Girls and Boys," but both the word "girl" and the word "boy" can be problematic in various applications. IMO, they are best used in situations when use of both terms ("girl" and "boy") would not be problematic.

Do have a sense of humor, though. Good jokes upthread!

I'm taking perverse pride in having nit picked a sensibility issue on a WCF thread, of all places. : )

This explains so much.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

i only know three versions (i think there are more), but i would rank them as we can fuck at the top, followed by the 86 version of we can funk, then the 1990 version of we can funk on GB. but i love them all. maybe his most sensual, sexual, lustiest song?

Well in that case maybe Funk has a 15-year-old. Has, is. Details, details. Point is, there’s probably one around somewhere.

Ah...apparently my sense of humor isn't as good as I thought.

Disregard the age question. Sincere apologies!

Had no idea there was a drawing. Thanks for pointing that out! Never too late to learn.

I don’t get the love for the 86 version compared to We Can Fuck!

What am I missing?
