Post here 2 give props to "Life 'O' the Party"

This song bumps. Why do so many people give it so much flack? I mean, how can you dog on a song that says "all the purple hippies bang your heads on the one!" headbang

who else loves this song?
"this is where the PURPLE PARTY PEOPLE be"

Strange, that does work. It certainly gives it more of an interesting intro. Nice one! smile

It's just a fun party song -- nothing to hate about it, IMHO. I like it. Especially the first line:

So you're having a party
Goodie for you


biggrin

I think it's the weakest song onthe album but I still like it. I dont skip it. However, you need a good system to play it with all that bottom end because it sounds really bad on a weak system. biggrin

Life O The Party is a fantastic track and is Prince at his funkiest.

Nothing else to say.

I love it..i hope its the next single.btw i think this song is going to be a big hit because like a lot of big hits it has everybody reacting to it..lots of people say they hate it and lots of people say they love it..i think this song has gotten the most reaction both ways than any other song on the album (besides Musicology)
Check it out ...Shiny Toy Guns R gonna blowup VERY soon and bring melody back to music..you heard it here 1st! http://www.myspacecomment...theone.mp3

Interesting...because, I think it's HER voice that I don't like about this song.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I feel a lot of the fans want a rock record period. After his recent tv performances they want prince on gtar doing a solo 4 10 straight songs!!
U,ME,WE!....2FUNKY!

I LOOOOOVE this song! I don't understand why people compare this to Freaks on This Side or Jughead (well, somebody did!). This track is a funky electro dance tune. I even like it better than Illusion, Coma, ...

By the way, I think Candy's singing the chorus is splendid. It adds a lot to the song!

ELBOOGY: if you haven't heard the album yet, there are more rock tracks on this album in comparison to Rave or TRC, and they are better than say Baby Knows IMHO.

I think the song is ok but why O why did he strip away the whole latin thing he had going with it when he performed it live last year??

The congas and whistles and funky little latin rythym thing he had going rocked! And that funky horn line is gone too !! The album version is just a little too vanilla for me...but the rap is still cool.

I actually dig it. Its much better live, but I still dig the studio recording. I think this is what P was trying to accomplish (and failed miserably) on NPS. Just a fun little party number. It easily could have been just another crappy song in the vein of "Push It Up", but the drum line saves it. As BKW pointed out, you need a good system to really hear the bottom, but it is soooo slammin! Oh, and the "all the Purple hippies..." line is classic Prince!
