the last 60 secs of "illusion, coma, pimp and c..."

...are just FUNKY.

nasty.

and all he's saying is the word "dance"
i mean, the whole song, IMO, is irresistable.
but at about 3 minutes and forty six seconds in, till the end of the song, it sends me over into prince bliss.

i love me some little purple genius

If it's an engineering mistake, then it's one of those "happy mistakes" like the distorted vocal track on Dorothy Parker.

The last 60 seconds of this cut (and indeed, the whole song) confirms for me once and for all that genius never dies. SO goddamn funky.
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

This song's just fucking awesome.


He called her flo...as in rescent (that ain't right). cool

Some of the most fun, funky shit I've heard from the little man in ages; I love it.

I think the guitar licks sounding so loud gives it a great raw, quirky sound.

This is the kind of shit I wish would go on for 5 more minutes at least. I LOVE this sound. I have always told my friends the time I really really like Prince is when he goes off like that for hours...long funky grooves are nirvana.

Remix, anyone?

Oh no, here we go. This is the equivalent of letting a psycho out of her straight jacket.
