Dinner With Delores - Prince's Best 90's Single?

Dinner With Delores is so good, it is the complete opposite of the type of stuff Prince has been doing recently: it ends way too soon, it's impossible to get out of your head and the lyrics are funny and thoughtful (like way back when). Why couldn't the rest of the album be as good as that great song?
It certainly beats stuff like Cream, MBGITW and maybe 7 in my book.
Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire

Its a good melody, and I dig this track, but the lyrics are just crap.. anyone could have laid that down, and the comparison of a dinasour is just simply STUPID.

"Delores" was among my Top 5 90s singles, but I easily preferred "Pink Cashmere" or "Come On."

I think you're being a little harsh. What about the lines (1) Introduce the carpet to something other than your knees. or (2) I'd call you a friend but it must be a sin, and I've run out of cheeks to turn.

sorry, doesnt make my nipples hard... the song sounds too rushed, and while Im not badgering it for more detail, it simply is quite silly sounding..

It's nice. A bit dull and definitely too short.

"damn Delores,pick another subject please...introduce the carpet to something other than your knees"


But his best single of the 90s is "Eye Hate U" lol

I love this song, ironically most people do not realize that the lyrics are methaphorical...Delores is Warner Bros. This song has nothing to do with the surface level subject matter.

Yeah, I thought DWD was the worst single of the 90s. The list is also missing Space, Thieves in the Temple, New Power Generation, Betchq By Golly Wow, Greatest Romance and Hot Wit U, all better singles than DWD. IMHO.

"Same December" maybe. It's the strongest track next to "Zanalee".
