Yeah!
Animal Kingdom is fantastic... gives a real Hendrix (Electric Ladyland) feel. "...If God wanted milk in me, the breast I suck would have a line around the hood". The Truth CD TRULY should have been released... this is THE album that would silence the whole college music/radio scene, and hip a whole slice of folks 2 what the man can do. Great songs, great singing... I like the whole album, so it's hard 2 pick favs. I really dig Fascination, 3rd Eye, The Truth, Don't Play Me, Man in a Uniform, Comeback (beautiful!), and Welcome 2 The Dawn. Peace! G.

I like this song - very different for him musically, and for once he's singing about something he's very passionate about which isn't sex or God (not that there's anything wrong with those two).
My issue with it (and the whole album) is that people claim it's acoustic. This album is not an acoustic album, people!!! I'd love Prince to sit down with a bunch of new songs, and an acoustic guitar, and not tamper with them in any way. Even if he had his whole band play acoustically, that would be great - but what is this??? | |

I love the Truth album too. Dionne . Animal Kingdom is one of my favorites on that album as well. I liked it when I was a practicing vegetarian and now that I'm not (due to practical reasons). From both sides of the fence it's a good song. | |

I like the music but the words are kinda "funky funky" like blue cheese. "leave your brothers and sisters in the sea". Gimme a damn break. | |

A cool song from one of his best albums ever. Certainly the
best album he released in the 90's. I don't mind there's not many people in the loop on this cd cuz that makes it kind of special. If it were some bigtime million selling disc with videos and all it would feel less special and intimate. Animal Kingdom is one of the songs I used to think was kind of strange. I honestly didn't like it that much at first, but once it klicked I totally dug it. The effects and the vocals are rather bizarre. And except for one or two lines the lyrics are actually quite splendid. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

I like the Truth cd too, but Animal Kingdom drives me nuts. It's the only song on the cd I don't really like. I thought you had good taste Cloudbuster | |

Who told ya you could eat the swiiinnne? I saw a friend of mine 2day In an ad sayin' what would do my body good I told him he was wasting time I say If God wanted milk in me The breast I suck would have a line around the hood No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing 2 me It's why I don't eat red meat or white fish Don't give me no blue cheese We're all members of the animal kingdom Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea Animal, animal kingdom {x2} Who told us we should eat the swine? U can bet your final money it damn sure wasn't no friend of mine What about the clams on the shore? Souls in progress, here come the fisherman - soul no more No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity (Nurses past, oh yeah) No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing 2 me (Ever did a damn thing) So I don't eat no red meat or white fish Or funky, funky blue cheese We're all members of the animal kingdom Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea Animal, animal kingdom {x3} I applaud Prince for making his feelings known on the vegan lifestyle but I think I'd rather concentrate on treating my human brothers and sisters with kindness and compassion. | |

I love Animal Kingdom and the entire Truth album. I think a lot of people are forgetting that Prince wrote Animal Kingdom right around the time when he became a vegetarian.
Now, I know I don't have to tell people that a lot of people don't eat meat for a lot of different reasons or that a lot of vegetarians are very passionate about NOT eating meat. I think the song Animal Kingdom captures Prince's enthusiasm of being a recent convert. That being said, if anyone has closed their mind to the song, they are missing a lot of clever song writing on Animal Kingdom. For instance: I don't eat no RED meat or WHITE fish, or funky, funky BLUE cheese. Did you notice the color scheme "Red, White and Blue". That's not an accident. Trust me, there is A LOT to The Truth that many people don't/can't/won't get. I expect that most of what Prince does will go over the heads of non-fans, but I'm always kind of shocked to find out how there seems to be alot of true fans that don't "get it" either. Amazing. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damn good point about Prince's lyrics!!!
Also, I know a lot of vegetarians/vegans who would make this their theme song, if they knew about it... Unfortunately, not many of these type of folks even know about Prince... Peace! G. [This message was edited Fri Oct 24 10:11:56 PDT 2003 by Giovanni777] "He's a musician's musician..." | |

I am always up for discussion of Prince lyrics and even though I have been a longtime fan, there are lyrics that I just don't get. I get what he is trying to say with Animal Kingdom. I just don't like the song.Now, I know I don't have to tell people that a lot of people don't eat meat for a lot of different reasons or that a lot of vegetarians are very passionate about NOT eating meat.

The only song of Prince's that I can actually say I hate. I listened to it once and couldn't believe how bad it really was. | |

I love this song, along with the rest of the album.
Different people, different attitudes, different reactions. I can see how it could be seen as tacky, but I choose to like it. I even had a friend play Animal Kingdom on radio once. Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop. | |
