...and i am funky.

Does anybody actually still listen to this?

I can't imagine anybody whacks this one on and gets carried away with the vibe. Is there anybody that is still singing along to this one?

If so...why?

Yes, I sure do and I'm not ashamed to admit it either! Why you ask? Because the song has an amazing funky vibe and it kicks ass!

You think so?

Different Strokes for Different Folks i guess.

Fair Play to you.

Not for me.

Not for me either. That song represents a very confused era. I still can`t believe that Prince did deliver this useless song.

MingMongCharlie said:

Yes, I do think so. Different strokes...

It's a fun tongue in cheek tune.
Not to be taken seriously.

I love this song. It's cheesy and schlocky, but that just adds to the fun. I love the energy of it, I love the way P does that shouty pissed-off rap. I think it's stupid as hell, but it's not like I'm expecting Brian Eno or OK Computer when I throw on the damn symbol album, sheesh.

Sadly - it´s one of the songs that anti-Prince-fans know!

I still really like this track.

Why not? His name is Prince and he is still funky. Oh, and I still like the song. Why not?

I couldn't find a forum to put this in: I was cycling tonight and a bat pood on my shirt. It was yellow. I've never been pood on by a bat before.

Used to really love the tune; still like it a fair bit, and play it when the CD is in.

Certainly don't play the single anymore. Can't even remember what the other tracks on the single were...

If I remember correctly there's a fairly funky remix of Sexy M.F. on there.

TheFrog said:

There maxi single had a few mixes of MNIP, including one extended version. I quite liked them, they were quite heavy on the bass. The standard single had 2 Whom It May Concern, kind of a b-side with samples of all the album tracks (and the 'thunk' sound to tell us how to pronounce the album name There was a remix or two of Sexy MF on the singles.

Oh yeah, 2 whom it may concern! Ta.

I thought that was quite cool at the time.

"2 whomever it make concern, you must come to your senses. There are no kings on this earth, only princes."

TheFrog said:

The song was quite special to me, because I first got into Prince with Diamonds & Pearls, so 2 Whom It May Concern, which had it's own film clip and was shown on TV before the album came out, was the first new Prince I heard since becoming a fan (of course I had most of his back catalogue by then..). It's a cool tune too, especially what you quoted.

I like it! I would've LOVED it if Tony M. weren't rapping on it. The Original Mix Edit is very funky.

The video sucks, though, with the sodding Game Boyz kicking someone in an alley. Like, wow, that's really cool.

Is the Original Mix Edit the extended version? Or is it also a different (sound) mix to the album version?

sabaisabai said:

It's the un-edited album version (i.e. it's longer).

nahh,one of his weaker tracks. First time I heard and saw the song I got the same feeling as Batdance. Wow, cool, and awesome. Feeling did not last long, and both songs are hokey and outdated. A sarcastic thanks to Bart Simpson for doing My Name Is Bart. Recognition for weak Prince songs embarrasses me, as there is an embarassment of riches under Prince's well-known songs.

I agree, the weakest single he ever released in my opinion. it hit though if you remember.

I still like this track - even though the lyrics and vibe etc are very dated/silly.
It still quite a hardhitting bombastic type of track though, and I still dig it.

I remember I played this song in my car with a new girlfriend thinking I was all bad ass and all she could do upon hearing the chorus was laugh. That was the last time I played that song...that was 1998.

I'm listening to it right now. This song is still the bomb. I always find myself dancing to it so that's always a sign that I like a song. Too bad this song wasn't a bigger hit.

have not listened to it in probably a year. put it on after reading this thread. good tune.
needs to be played loud, though.

MingMongCharlie said:

U R kidding, right? This song is sooo funky! I put it on repeat even.

MingMongCharlie said:

Yeah i do, i listened to it in the car the other day.
It brought back a few memories of me being in school singing along to it in the playground.

yay my first post
