LOVE or MONEY. 5 stars. The beauty to mp3 players on a computer is that you can load 400 hours of music, hit random, and re-discover songs that you WORE OUT long ago.
Love or Money. This song is a classic in it's simplicity and intricate arrangement. The thing I loved back then, and STILL love about this song is the double-speeded guitars, and the chorus that starts at the beginning and runs, CONSTANTLY through the whole damn song. it NEVER stops. I can only wonder if Prince thought, "hey, I've never heard a song where they say the chorus infinitely, like a chant, with lyrics just going over it." Love it. Just love it. HAAAY! We could play fa dayz! If ya git tired, gimme dat MAYONNAISE! Revolution! Put the groove on the bus! The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

"Gimme... Gimme dat vaseline... Gotta slide... the girls know what I mean... Unnnh!"
Just converted my 12" to mp3. This song rules. And I prefer this version to the one on Charade w/o the sped up vocals. I think DMSR or some other source claims that one is superior but I like my "Camille" voice version even if this doesn't technically qualify as a Camille song.  |

The track was backside of "Kiss". I remember that it took me some time to find out that there are 2 different 12"es of Kiss.

whats funny is the Razzies nominated this for the worst song in a film, or worst song of the century or something. i thought it really bizarre cos its not an integral part of cherry moon or anything, but they really loved ragging on prince and madonna in terms of their films and anything! | |

You do realize it's "Heck Above"...right? Edited because DTT-Lyrics say "hecka-buff" ilke FunkMistress quoted.... but I think they are wrong. That makes no sense. I'm pretty sure he's saying "heck above" cuz later he kinda says offhand "Mama you heck-above, good God!" which makes more sense... as in "you're above all the others". DTT also lists "Showtime" which I"ve always thought was "Showdown!"... as in.... it's now a showdown.... Love or $, which is it going to be. "Talk a little Eric!"

FUnkMistriss, I was editing my post (see above) before you wrote this so didnt'mean to have attitude. I still think it's "Heck Above"... no one really said "buff" back in the 80s the way they do now. |

While I'm busy over analyzing this awesome song ...
I'm pretty sure he says "Talk a little "Eric" . and then we here some Sax courtesy of Mr. Leeds. (DTT doesn't include the "Eric"). Also, at the end... I always thought he was saying "Coke...Coke... let it loos" as in Coke (Johnson?).. wasn't one of his engineers named Coke?. But I might be confusing names. |
