Alright, I want all 70,000 some-odd fools up in here 2 put this track on & crank up the volume real loud!

...wait for it...NOW!

Discuss this funky jam Prince wrote in 1985 as an answer to all the bad press he got over the USA For Africa record!

It kicks...doesn't it!? wink

Fantastic song. My favorite released song from 1985. It is a funk masterpiece.

It's on my fleshed out cdr version of "Around The World"
together with "She's Always In My Hair", "Girl" and the
original of "4 The Tears In Ur Eyes" & "Splash".

It's a nice track. Hell, it's a great track. Talking about
it makes me yearn sooo much for the days of the great and
wonderful B-sides.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Ive also made a fleshed out CDR of this album with extended versions, b-sides and outtakes from the period, and it makes you realise how good an album it could have been, better than purple rain in fact.

My thoughts exactly. Especially the Paisley Park 12" is an
amazing cut. The guitar is wild. Plus the extended version
of "Raspberry Beret" is much much cooler than the album vs.

ALL THIS TALK IS MAKING ME nuts ALREADY! IMAGINE WB REMASTERING & RE-RELEASING ALL PRINCE'S BACK CATALOGUE - AND ADDING ALL SUBSEQUENT B-SIDES AS A SPECIAL EDITION(BONUS BITS TO BE EXTENDED 12" VERSIONS OF ALBUM TRACKS)...NOW JUST IMAGINE HOW MUCH COOLER "AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY" AND "PARADE" WOULD BE - batting eyes BRINGS A TEAR TO ME EYE*

The long stroke of this track is a banger. especially the killer solo at the beginning.

I just put on the extended version of "Hello" I once downloaded, but that I've never listened to before.

I forgot all about this track, I vaguely remember it from my teenage days. Hearing it again after all these years, I realise that IT IS A BANGER! Damn, how could one forget about a track like that! lol
RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...
