"Tick Tick Bang" has been receiving a lot of negativity on another thread and because of it has been feelin' mighty low. To make "Tick Tick Bang" happy again let's all show our love for, what I feel is, one of the funkiest songs on GB.

yes and one of the funkiest things in Prince's canon.
i love the guitar solo on that one and the drumz - phew, man. he knows how to programme a drum machine. listen to those drumz guys - they are fonky.

I love it. It's fun. The performance is fun too.

Good Thread!

I know this songs takes a beating from many.

My favourite Prince is when he completely breaks the mold. This is one of those songs.

It sounds like NOTHING else. How many people can do that???

the demo version is tasty.

But yeah, I'm not afraid to say I like this track.
The production is so dense, and chaotic.
You don't hear everything at once. Repeated listenings
is what you need to give it to find all the intricacies.
It's controlled chaos.

Indeed, this is a very cool song. The guitar solo is awesome. Highly underrated.

it's cool, i like it.

Not one of his best moments, but one of the better moments on GB.

i like the demo version its very dirtymind-ish

Oooh it's getting all over me. LOVE THIS TRACK. I actually sat thru Graffiti Bridge 3 times at the theater for this performace. It WAS weird watching Phillip C on keys though.

The performance of it on the Graffiti Bridge movie is fierce! The best part of the movie! I miss that Prince.

The original is PURE PUNK FUNK! Freaky stuff I hope he releases on a remaster/rerelease of Dirty Mind.

This is one of my faves off of G-Bridge. It's under-appreciated here by most. Maybe because it's about him flingin' his man-goo. I dunno.

How 'bout Elephants And Flowers? That song is no throw-away either, purple people.

right here, it has my vote, one of the best on GB, cool clip 2

Great song on a lousy album ...
the demo version from 1980? is superior and utter-cool

I may never hear it the same again without thinking "man goo" however.

I have loved 'Tick Tick Bang' since I bought Graffiti Bridge on release day...

It's such a fun song and it's dirty..which I always like...It's one of my favorite parts in the movie as well...I just watched GB the other night just to see this very performance.

Dija know this song dated back to the early 80's...1981 I believe to be exact!
