man, i'm diggin' this one today...the 12" version, though! i think i repeated the who 2nd verse about 10 times! right at 2:30, when all the voices are singing together and you hear one of many prince's sing 'down on my knees'...that is just perfect!

I have never heard the 12" of this or Mountains or I Wish U Heaven. Will you guys STFU talking about this?

awww shit, pookie, i'll make sure you hear them on sunday! all three!

imnotsayinthisjust2bnasty said:

Can't wait to see you again, sweetie.

stymie said:

Stymie, I strongly recommend you get a 5 CD set called "Funk Nasty's 12-Inch Archive".

12"s on CD have never sounded better until T's compilation came out, and this is the most comprehensive collection of extended versions and full-length B-Sides I have come across so far.

Kill to get a copy.

.

The Parade extended versions and b-sides are among the best moments of Prince's career.

Thanks, giotto.

stymie said:

imnotsayinthisjust2bnasty said:

See what happens when you tell people to shut the fuck up Stymie? You get what you want

imnotsayinthisjust2bnasty said:

I love you, J!!!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Okay. Why don't you guys STFU and get me that Funk Nasty 12-inch archive. Right now, I think I'll settle for seven inches. Oops, did I say that out loud?

you've never heard any of the parade-era 12-inches??? oh me oh my...stymie, you're in for a treat then...

I've heard Kiss, which I love but that's it. Where's that little red-faced emoticon?

<--- don't feel embarrassed!

One of Princes highly overrated tunes. A real snoozer, if you ask me. Too much Wendy and Lisa influence, I'd suspect.

I turn this on up every time I hear it. The song is full of energy.

that's funny, i thought the same thing until i heard the 12 inch. it was never a favorite of mine, as is, but the 12 inch is phenomenal!

It took me a while 2 appreciate this song

when I 1st got 'Parade' i actually skipped the track

One of my all time favourite songs. Its about jealousy, and there aren't really that many good songs out there about jealousy, it's usually just 'how wonderful is love' which is strange when you consider we spend a great deal of time in gut-wrenching jealousy of one thing or another.

Or is that just me?!

I was just listening to this song over the weekend. Definately a fav. Just a wicked, wicked song. I love it.

what do you have against wendy and lisa?

The 12" versions were always better than the stubby ones.

This song is a master peice for me.
Anotherloverholenyohead

I gave my love, I gave my life, I gave my body and mind
We were inseparable. I guess I gave u all of my time
And now u plead insanity and u don't even know the score
Why can't u learn 2 play the game?
Baby, don't u know that u need more? (More, more, more)

U need another lover like u need a hole in yo head (baby, baby)
U know there ain't no other
that can do the duty in your bed, yeah

We were brothers and sisters
United all for love
Now all of the sudden (all of the sudden)
U try 2 fight it (try 2 fight it)
U say you've had enough (say u've had enough)
Even though we had big fun (even though we had big fun)
u want another someone (u want another someone)
Yo happily ever after be (Sure as there's a sun)
Sure as there's a sun, (I'm gonna be the 1)
I'm gonna be the 1 and if (u don't understand)
u don't understand face to face, (face to face)
Baby I'll tell u down on my knee, yeah

U need another lover like u need a hole in yo head (baby, baby)
U know there ain't no other
that can do the duty in your bed
Solo, solo...

(sing it)

Oh Lord

U need another lover
U know there ain't no other
U need another lover like u need a hole in yo head
Hole in yo head. Hole in yo head
U need another lover like u need a hole, a hole, a hole, a hole
U need another lover
U know there ain't no other

There's gonna be a riot, if u don't clap your hands,
if u don't make that funky stand. Everybody.
U know there ain't no other




Ranks up there with Something in the Water and She's Always in my hair. For me anyway.

Anything off of the Parade Album kick major ass.

"Baby, I'll tell you down on my knees, yeah yeah!" Perfect indeed. That part has always kicked my ass, and has lost none of its magic for me over the years.

This is THE absolute best Prince song to drive down the
highway to. 100Mph, this song playing, loud, but not 2
loud. It's wonderful.

IstenSzek said:

Yep, done that.

Love this cut! It's funky. I could listen to it over and over.

"There's gonna be a riot
If you don't clap your hands."

THE 12" MIX OF THIS SONG IS ONE OF HIS BEST!

Beautiful cut to begin with.
I miss Wendy & Lisa.
