Cream Prince's Most Overrated Popular Song IMHO, I requested a Prince song to be played on my local college radio station, DJs happily obliged commenting on air that there both huge Prince fans and that PR was on TV the other day. But then they go play Cream. What a dull , plodding song. Maybe if there was a stripper dancing to it in front of me I would enjoy it more@#$%@! ,ah typing in the dark | |

It's a hell of a lot better than the predictable TMBGITW. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

It's not as bad as TMBGITW, but it's definitely bad. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Are you serious? It's got a kickin' beat, cool guitar parts, sweet vocals and melodies...It's just a good pop tune! | |

"Cream" is a fun pop single.Very catchy.Nothing wrong with that. | |

Yes, it is a good, fun, catchy pop song...but it does piss me off when I mention Prince and people start singing "Cream". The video clip was just embarrassing, and it isn't NEAR Prince's best work. | |

Crappy pop-song with great lyrics and 'Cream' as a brilliant suggestive title.

It's one of those songs the non-fans like.
You know the ones who say "Oh Prince, yeah, I'm a big Prince fan, I like all the hits, Cream, Get Off, Raspberry Beret, Little Red Corvette, errr" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm a sucker for a major chord | |

How come you don't like the video? I think it's great.I recall the director saying that she wanted it to look like "a scene from a stylish musical" or something like that.I think she succeeded. | |

This is definitly a great pop song and not crappy. When it's played in a club people usually start dancing right away. It's a good song for many different people to dance and hum on. You are not my "friend" because you threaten my security. | |

It's OK. I can tolerate it anyway. |

Cream is a quality track - it's got that slinky, groovy feeling that is also present in 'Willing & Able' and '5 Women'.
And the Marc Bolan-style lyrics are kinda fun | |

what's funny about this song is,many people were confused about it's true meaning.Because of it's title,they assume it was about sex.I remember when I first heard it on the radio,the local DJ says...
"That's Prince,doing the nasty thing again.But you gotta love him though,He's just a nasty man,that's all he is".  | |

I think the whole theatrical thing is very cool, with the hot women and the dancing..but Prince himself looked awful, and that HAIRCUT!!! | |

For me it's just a remake of "Shake" from GB, based on the same chords but fortunately much more "catchy". Nothing wrong with that song but surely nothing special. -----------------------------------------

It was a hell of alot better than Get Off...
That one sucked. I've reversed the polarity of the neutron flow... Now to find a way to exterminate Melody Cool and Rosie Gaines...

it's about having a positive attitude and achieving your goals.The song could have been titled "Strive",but somehow,that's not as exciting,is it?  | |

It was really funny to read all the old articles about D&P! I'm no native-speaker but can't it be interpreted in two ways? Why TH else call it 'Cream'?  | |

Cream of the crop. Top of the pile. Best of the lot. | |

I love this song, how can you not? Just cause it's not his best work? Who cares? It's meant to be a catchy pop song to sing along to, and it serves that purpose brilliantly. Great melody, really fun lyrics, nice guitar work, and some classic Prince badness.
I have a good time listening to TMBGITW too, because like Cream, that song serves its purpose. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
