Author is either completely unaware of Camille or just wanted an excuse to roast the Camille vox. "Computerized" makes it seem somewhere between Roger Troutman and T-Pain, Prince was using "futuristic techniques" innovated by the likes of Alvin and the Chipmunks in 1959.

The song is meh, however. Who knew deep cuts were eligible for Razzies?

Prince should've put this fucking fantastic gem on an album!

I just listened to it. To me, it sounds like he's saying dry, not tired.

"Dry" would make more sense. Mayo can lubricate you, but it doesn't wake you up.

That's why I'm saying the fact that it was even eligible for a Razzie. Like the Awards went out of their way to find some obscure way to roast the dude. Album cuts usually aren't eligible for this kind of thing, Razzie's are including literal B-sides up in here.


Like what's next, are outtakes and muffled bootlegs eligible, too? Why not nominate him as "Worst Artist" for some muffled 20 second aborted accidental take for the basketball bounce recording session to "The Question of U" while they're at it?

Yet more dumb sh$t brought to you by people who weren't there.

I'd guess since they were handing out awards for worst picture, worst actor and worst director they needed a song too. I've always had a soft spot for LO$ it's a fun throwaway song.

Imagine how boring and unadventurous you must be to hear this song back in 1986 and call it the worst movie song of the year. It's as bold as When Doves Cry was, only without caring if it was a hit, since it was a b-side, so much weirder.

It would be interesting to actually know WHO was in the jury for this choice.
Let’s track him/her down and force ‘it’ to listen to this track for 1 full long hour! smile
