I've just bought Gett Off maxi single, and there was that Gangster Glam song. I wonder why does he sing the refrain in a high voice? It sounds almost like a love-song. Well, I wouldn't say it is that bad though

it IS that bad.

One of his worst songs...ever.

not THAT bad as Jughead anyway...but it's close, I agree

much worse, for me.

I like the base line though !

The fact that Prince ever associated himself with the word "Gangster" puts me off.

yeah, and why the hell in a high voice???? "Gangsta Glaaaaam..." SHIT!!!

This is a great song - got lots or radio play on Kiss radio in the uk at the time

I actually like this song

Reminds me so much of the summer of 1991,when I was anxiously awaiting the 'Diamonds and Pearls' CD.

It's spelt Bass.

Perhaps singing it in a high voice takes the seriousness out of it - he's singing about gangsters in the fashion sense after all, not the actual attitude of criminals! Ganster Glam was the style they were into - that old 30s-40s ganster style of smart suits and hats mixed with the glam and campness of the Barbarella film.

I like that line, 'funkier than a sack of grandaddies!"

that bassline is a loop of "Boomin system" by LL cool j"

I LOVED GG and the video. My I love Clockin' the Jizz even more...

Weird because I really didn't like D&P at all..

The song and the vid is tight!

ahh c'mon jughead aint that bad...its pretty good once u stop trynna figure out what a jughead actually is.

I also like this song and clockin the jizz . I remember when all this stuff was coming out. I was the only one that knew about it cause I was the only one that followed Prince.too bad for everyone else.

The Gangsta Glam falsetto fits when you see a Typhooned Prince on rollerskates and in the Speedo, makin' eyes at Tony M. What a bizarre video.




All jokes aside, I love the Clockin the Jizz guitar solo. Tight.

Can I ask, where does everyone find the videos??
I have the Hits Collection DVD but theres only 12 videos on it!
I want more
Where are they??

but I dont have a Cd burner. Do I need one?

Gett Off (including Gangster Glam) was available as a VHS 'video maxi-single', as was sexy M.F. Think that's it, tho'.

i love gangster glam - i hate jughead
