JUGHEAD! shocked

That is one of my favorite songs! Well, I guess there's no accounting for
taste in your poll! confuse

Animal Kingdom and Arms Of Orion deserve their place...the rest of the
bottom ten sounds like PARTY ANTHEMS! headbang
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.

Now - let's not lose control. Y'all know Jughead is the song least listened too or liked off of Diamonds and Pearls. You know what I'm really surprised not to see on this list from the poll:

Mr Happy.

Now - I love Prince like a play cousin. But I tell you what - I'm not happy when that song is almost played.

"Tick Tick Bang" is a personal fav.
"I Rock Therefore I Am" ain't that bad.
and "Graffiti Bridge" is a pretty cool song, for what it is.

See, I don't think that's actually THAT bad a line--it's his delivery that kills it. He sounds like he should be some animatronic character at Chuck E. Cheese. Hamster Homeslice or something. confused

The following deserve pardons from the list:

* I ROCK Therefore I AM (This is a great song about self-affirmation. I love the line "I'd rather put on something that the world wouldn't dare!")

* THE ARMS OF ORION (This is my least fav on the Batman album, but it doesn't deserve to be on this 'of all time' list)

* ANIMAL KINGDOM (Screw you guys, I love this song!

"No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity
No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing to me.
So I don't eat red meat or white fish
Don't give me no blue cheese.
We're all members of the animal kingdom
Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea " music

Ok, it sucks, but in a weird, likable way. I like relating to the species that inhabit the earth with me ... (except for a few that taste good with hot sauce)

* GRAFFITI BRIDGE (you know if you're in a sappy, sad, sentimental mood ... you'll sing along ... "everybody wants to find Graffiti Bridge ... everybody's looking for love" cry

the rest of them pretty bad. More cheesy than bad.

I'm surprised Wedding Feast did not make this list. I like the song...but I am among the few.

Yeah -- "Tamborine" is a jam! Here, however, we are referring to "Tangerine", which appears on Rave.

Yeah i agree! I thought there was sumfin wrong wif me cause nobody else seems to like it giggle

Honestly, da song has a funky-ass percussion beat goin through it and a whole lotta attitude, and although when i first heard the first bit i kinda thought "oh no...is this gonna just sound like an early nineties kinda song.." when it progressed i was like hey i wanna shake my booty! aint nuffin wrong wif dat song hmph! it's fun biggrin

10. I ROCK THEREFOR I AM

"Right the Wrong" is far, far worse...I just make sure I fade out the song long before that butt-aweful rap ever has a chance of starting.

9. CYBERSINGLE

Pretty bad...definately one of the worst...but at least he was tryin'...here's a cybersingle for the recycle bin: "Golden Parachute"...all five and half minutes of it.

8. TICK, TICK BANG

I love this song, though the production is terrible...let's talk about "The Latest Fashion"..."Go, Morris! Go, Morris!"

7. WE GETS UP

Should be #1 on the list. This song is bad enough to discredit not one, but all three cd's

6. POOM POOM

I will proudly admit to LOVING this song...I offer "18 & Over" in it's place

5. THE ARMS OF ORION

I can see why people hate this one...cheesey on a celestial level...I can also see why they love it...he and Sheena sound great together. If you really want to complain about a syrupy ballad...let's talk about "Sweet Baby"...that song goes nowhere.

4. ANIMAL KINGDOM

"No funky, funky blue cheese" gets me every time..."Man in a Uniform" on the other hand is just useless. I say put'm both on b-sides and The Truth would have potential for greatness.

3. LIFE O THE PARTY

If you tell me that it breaks the flow of the album then I'd say you have a point...but as far as his self-involved party pieces go it's actually quite good...he's done much, much worse...damn, I can't get "We Gets Up" out of my head.

2. GRAFFITI BRIDGE

This is a standard with the Stepford Wives' Glee-club. They sing it at every show. So SOMEONE likes it.

1. JUGHEAD

I don't mind "Jughead" but I will step aside for this one out of respect for anyone who was horrified when Prince embraced hip-hop. I didn't truly understand how you felt until I heard that gangsta-synth on Emancipation. I would say that "White Mansion" or "Mr. Happy" are far more frustrating...or...damn, now I'm thinking about "We Gets Up" again.

Let's just say this...any song Prince ever had that involved Prince,Tony, or Rosie(LORD!)rapping is just horrible...whoever told him that ish was ok...I love hip hop,but Prince and hip hop just don't mix...uuggghhh!!!!!

yes the final results are now in and i am pleased(i think) to announce the final results of the top ten worst omg prince songs of all time as voted for by orgers. in reverse order, they are
...
...
10. I ROCK THEREFOR I AM
9. CYBERSINGLE
8. TICK, TICK BANG
7. WE GETS UP
6. POOM POOM
5. THE ARMS OF ORION
4. ANIMAL KINGDOM
3. LIFE O THE PARTY
2. GRAFFITI BRIDGE
1. JUGHEAD


We Gets Up definitely belongs, but my "worst" list isn't complete without these:
The Latest Fashion
Funky Music
Party Man
Baby I'm A Star
Hot Wit U
Make Your Mama Happy
Avalanche
All of the 1999 Remixes - especially the one with Doug E. Fresh
My Little Pill

I understand everyone has differing tastes, but The Latest Fashion and Funky Music are so painfully bad to me I can't believe they're not universally despised. Just thinking about them is making me ill, I'm going to have to throw in "Joy In Repetition", "If I Was Your Girlfriend", or "The Exodus Has Begun" just to head off the nausea...

uh...


" M y L i t t l e P i l " (HATE IT, that whole musical idea was so shit!)
" E m a n c i p a t i o n " (HATE IT, the lamest end of an album ever!)

& the segues on 0{+>

Try to get rid of Sheetah Easton's voice on Arms Of Orion, It should've had Boni Boyer on it.
I think it's a pretty ok R'nB ballad, too honey for me though, but i like the end orchestration of it - typical Prince. And it's the only song in it's kind he's done like that: 'Prince going mainstream radioshit' on this track - in the line of Shitney Houston and Mariah Scary.


If i don't like a song on the any Prince album, or realy hate it, i make my own copy, and try to make at least a sort of seque out of the intros and outros... or just leave it off. wink
