I'm sure LHAB is a very nice song, but it's difficult to listen to LHAB given all of Prince's problems with having a child, and subsequent break-up with the potential mother.

Glam Slam is certainly the odd one out on the Lovesexy - painfully simplistic chorus. Animal Kingdom is just painful full stop. Feast only lasts a minute, and is Prince "putting on something another wouldn't dare !" It's just a funny little filler.

But Solo and Tick Tick Bang are Prince pushing out the boundaries of what he'd done at those times, and even if you don't like them, you have to admit they are intriguing in their construction (?!)

Lets Have A Baby is Fabulous Song How can U say that!!!

The song is gorgeous! I think it's sexy, and I don't even have a womb... .

Emancipation

No it is not the worst song he he wrote, but, i think most of them were covered. I personally cannot stand It's Courtin' Time, Moviestar, and most of the songs on ATWIAD.

I have to say, Let's Have A Baby is truly terrible, but we shouldn't be dwelling on what's bad. There's already 239827435 threads discussing "worst" songs, "worst" albums... can we celebrate Prince instead of nitpicking on his negative qualities? I'm pretty new here but damn, some of the comments here are so harsh!

Have you heard 200 Balloons or Graffiti Brdge? There are far worse (and far better P songs). This one for me is down there but I think it's a smooth cut.

You simply cant hate on the love songs on Emancipation. You actually can hear the love that Prince was feeling for Mayte and the baby on those songs.

that song has so much emotion and soul in it. perhaps some of you just can't grasp that concept.

if it is good enough for him and his (ex) wife to conceive the night he plays it for her, it obviously aint that bad.

Ever hear a song called I Love U In Me? That song is so bad my stereo sticks when I play it.

Some observers are of the opinion that 'Let's Have A Baby' carries a stigma and that the song is somehow flawed just because of the unfortunate developments that followed.
This is a load of cobblers.

None of that should detract from the fact that 'Let's Have A Baby' is a really cool piano ballad and possibly ranks amongst Prince's most honest and heartfelt compositions.

The important thing is that it sounds like P meant what he was playing and singing at the time, regardless of what happened afterwards.
