Hey U

HEY U

Do you love it, hate it or just think it's OK.

I love it. A real highlight of Diamonds and Pearls SDE.
Something BIG Is Coming.

I was used to the other bootleg version, so this one threw me for as second, but I'm beginning to like it more than the other version now (the one with a different main vocalist). A Throwaway Prince song - but excellent even so!!

Love it, have it on repeat. Maybe my favorite track from the set.

Whenever I see "Hey U" (and it came up on shuffle the other day), I immediately think:

"out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?"

... and I'm not really the huge a fan of Pink Floyd.

Its cool...bassline almost sounds like Prince tried to make a Motown circa 1965 song

Funny! I always think of the Mountains 12", where he follows Hey U with "Get out on this dance floor!"

It sounds to me like it was used as the template for Get Yo Groove On.
