Play In The Sunshine - revisited

at first i was like "what the hell is this all about?" but over time is has become one of fave P songs. it's the best example of prince the one man band sounding like a band.

Like I've said before, I love his up-tempo shizz.

Play in the Sunshine? Love it! It's insanely hyperactive. Did he ingest a whole bag of sugar before recording or what?

The best part is the end where he changes the key of the song and has that wild drum syncopation and Susannah is singing like she's horny.

Yes, the live performance at the MTV awards was outstanding. Loved the song from the very beginning. I still remember listening to SOTT (the LP) the very first time. I knew SOTT (the track) because it had been out for a while but track 2 just blew me away.
I felt a bit diasppointed after I was through the whole double album because none of the songs reached the energy of Play In The Sunshine.
I still consider Play In The Sunshine as one of my favourites on SOTT. This is one of the typical tracks only Prince could do.
