I think that's a fucking amazing song. Not cringy at all. It was Prince in his early 30s, taking his sex game to a new level during that time.

For me, these aren't cringy but people seem to hate them so fuck you to whoever does. LOL

The Arms of Orion

I Love U In Me

Escape

I Rock, Therefore I Am (I cut the rapping out and it's so much better)


I still dislike "Life Can Be So Nice," but it's grown on me a tad. So - I'm still embarrased for Prince that it exists.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Wedding Feast from the Rainbow Children. Short, sweet and cringy.

I like I Wanna Melt With U, but I can understand why people think it's cringe-worthy. It was the generic, cliched EDM of the 90s. It's the type of song that in the twenty-tens people would have blamed on Josh Welton.

I also like I Rock, Therefore I am, and I don't mind the rap.

Why do you think Life Can Be So Nice is cringy? I think the music is amazing.

I like this songs, even thought I'm embarassed about it:

- Lemon Crush

- New Power Generation
- Graffiti Bridge
- Strollin'

- Walk Don't Walk
- Pope
- Pussy Control
- I Rock, Therefore I AM
- New World

Some people would consider Love Like Jazz cringe-worthy. I'd fight them. That song is brilliant.

I'd love for you to point to any song that sounds like IWMWU. Since it's cliche, you'll have an easy time providing plenty examples. razz

I fuckin love Love Like Jazz and have never understood the hate it gets. Like Strollin and Look At Me Look At U, it's cool AF mellow candy-coated jazzy funk.

I enjoy "Wedding Feast" a good bit. But I refuse to be embarrassed!

People here seem to dislike "Walk Don't Walk", but I think it's fun and charming.

.

"Delirious" also gets a lot of hate, but it was my favorite song from "1999" for years. ("Automatic" is now my fave.)

.

Oh, and I can't understand why "The Arms Of Orion" is so hated. It's a beautiful duet.

People mention EDM with "I Wanna Melt With U" but forget about "Loose!"? That's 100% more generic (not cringy) than "I Wanna Melt With U."

"Life Can Be So Nice" is loud, noisy, and misdirected. People blather on about "when she's making love it's like surgery," yet gloss over "Scrambled eggs are so boring." I'm thinking, "Bitch, really?"

Also, while the lyrics are good, "No one plays the clarinet the way U play my heart
I come a thousand different ways before I even start," the delivery leaves loads to be desired. It's like something he's humming on the toilet for the sake of it, and thought, "oh, this is a good song."

Also, the main hook - which sounds like it was recorded on a $49 Casio keyboard from Big Lots - is horrid. I think the bass and tempo are good. But someone should've muted a couple of tracks on the console before doing the final mix. There's way too much going on in it to concentrate on or enjoy anything.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

nor your poom poom.

"Poom Poom" is in the same vein as "La la la, he he hee." It's a throw away song.

Life Can Be So Nice has always grated me. Like you say just noise with too much going on.

A big cringe moment for me is the end of Do Me, Baby with the ‘I’m cold, hold me’ shit. I have to listen to the edit

They are both cringe songs, but for me, the difference is that I can secretly listen to and enjoy My Name is Prince (even Tony's rap), but I get nothing out of Sexy MF.

I cringe when I hear Prince licking and sucking his girl off on Come. He could have left that part out.

He's eating a peach, but you still like it.

So it's your favorite "cringe" Prince song.

Is this your favorite cringe Prince song or you just think it's cringe without liking it.
