considering the personal nature of this record and what happened after I cant believe you can say that. This song is beautiful, Prince and his Piano getting deep and showing a level of maturity. I love it.

The worst song is THE ARMS OF ORION...but Sheena Easton co-wrote it, right?

'Let's Have A Baby' is an absolutely gorgeous ballad that understandably would be a bit difficult to stomach now considering all that has transpired.

But if you're going to look for the worst song Prince has ever written, you'd have to consider either 'Jughead' or 'Daddy Pop'. Those are truly horrible pieces of music. I still don't believe Prince wrote either of them.

AGREED!! Emancipation is a great CD. And Let's Have a Baby was so personal and beautiful. He sounds so sexy on this song. There's not one song on Emancipation that I don't like.

The worst song of all is "Solo". The lyrics are fine, its just the way he sings it. This is the only song I would not listen to, but one day I intend to go back a follow along with the words.

I like glam slam. This song sounded like nothing else when it was release. Who else could mix a gothic sound with funk?

One of the worst songs Prince has done would have to be "Sex me, sex me not". Utter embarassing crap.

Oh no...the worst song of all has to be S.e.X.

(intro) oh oh oh ooh...uh-oooh...uh-oooh

So my name is Endorphin, I can make U happy U see
I come from planet Venus and I'll take U there
You could be my ecstasy
The 80's are over and the time has come
for a new proclamation of love and fun
Monogamy and trust, is what I'm talkin' 'bout
I'll give up all my lovers if U can make me shout
Oh
S is for scandalous
E is for exciting
X is for adults only
let's do something frightening

Sex, sex, can't stop the feelin' baby, nobody should
Sex, sex, anything this dangerous, has to be good

Now I'm the type of alien, who knows just what he wants
But U're the type who plays in the trees
you got it, maybe that's why you float
I climb a thousand trees if I have to
but baby I'm warnin' you
one of us is gonna end up on our knees

Sex, sex, can't stop the feelin' baby, nobody should
Sex, sex, anything this dangerous, has to be good

good, good

just has to be sex
sex

(get up) on the chair baby, let me dance under your skirt (get up)
everybody on the dance floor now
get up, on the table now, let me show you how to flirt (get up)

I like it baby, when U let me touch U there
I like it, girl, I knew you wasn't wearin' any underwear

baby, is it wrong, that I want U so
I want U baby, I want U now

S.E.X.

Sex, sex, can't stop the feelin' baby, nobody should
Sex, sex, anything this dangerous, has to be good

Just has to be good
Fellas - all the boys that know 'bout the good thing, say yeah yeah
and all the girls with no underwear on say yes yes
we're gettin' funky tonight
sex
yo, pick this up
fellas, I want everybody sayin'it on the one, come on: "S.E.X."
Say it S.E.X. come on S.E.X. say it S.E.X.
Keep that goin', Fellas
Come on (S.E.X.) yeah (S.E.X.) come on (S.E.X.)
ladies (S.E.X.), back'em up (S.E.X.), one time: "is the best"
come on (is the best, is the best, is the best)

one lover: sex (I don't think U heard me)
one lover: sex (yeah)
two lovers: death (quit it)
two lovers: death

So my name is Endorphin, I can make U happy U see
I come from planet Venus and I'll take U there
You can be my ecstasy

Now's the time 4 U 2 rock the nation with love and fun
Do the nasty with one love, but only one

Oh Sex

Why do these mediocre people post negative comments?
Because they are mediocre and don't count.
Prince is one of the great genius artists of all time, leave it at that.
He has more talent and ability in one little finger than the negative people have in their entire body...

I LOVE THAT SONG, I like the bass line and the piano, it's so personal and delicate.
And of course "The morning Papers" is a great song.

The worst song by Prince is "poom poom"

It's a great song that even made Oprah cry. Proves even Prince fans have bad taste.

We Get's Up gets on my nerves

But most of Emancipation is great.

I have to disagree At the time I absolutely loved this! Just listened to it while transferring my vinyl, and I reckon it could do with less electronica now, but the lyrics still make me chuckle.
