Any part of a song that contains Tony M! He quite simply is the WORST thing that EVER happened to The New Power Generation!

Speaking of Tony M, here's an interesting little story about him... I remember being at the Sacrifice of Victor aftershow at Bagley's Warehouse in London 1993. He came on to do some stupid song and when Prince commanded 'On the 1' at the end the song and move on to somethin' else he ignored Prince and continued to (c)rap... Sonny, Levi, Tommy and co just looked on in disbelief!!! Needless to say Prince was not amused and got rid of him for the rest of the show. Funny... I don't recall him being in the band after that!

Strollin' and Courtin' Time. Now those are to corny Vegas songs if I ever heard any.

In the first issue of the NPG Magazine (summer 1994),there is an interview with Tony,where he discussed plans for a solo CD.He said "You know,the average Prince fan don't care about rap,and the average rap fan don't care about Prince".He sounded real defensive in that article.

Hey,I LOVE "Strollin"! Shoulda been the final single from 'D & P',instead of "Money Don't Matter".

Totally Wedding Feast for me. I can't listen to it. Sorry Prince.

I have been caught singing "I sincerly want to f*ck the taste out of your mouth"...can you relate?

Easily 'The Sun Moons Stars'.
That west Indian accent makes me squirm everytime I hear him try it. I can't help but forward that bit.

This whole list has made me embarrassed to be a Prince fan!
I've just realised Prince is the Master of Cheese!

Definitely '3 Chains Of Gold', makes Bohemian Rhapsody worth listening to every time now.

oops, indeed.

"wedding feast" is fun 2 sing at the top of your lungs in a room that echoes, btw....

Right the wrong! Ugh, what a hunk of shit! Also Orgasm and We march

right the wrong is by far his worst song, is he taking the piss or what?

a line my hubby loves to make fun of is "in a word or two it you I wannna do not your body your mind you fool"
Then he'll say if I had told you that you would have laughed at me not fall in love. But I love SMF

Brilliant song... but...

"Look up in the air, it's your guitar..." Huh?!?

Make Your Mama Happy

i like right the wrong....some lyrics are cool....he was talking about the black hills and the indians.....that is an area where they need to right the wrong!

That's why he's a great artist and we're not. He takes chances. It's the only way to be the best one can be. That's why I grew to love songs that initially embarrassed the hell out of me-- songs like Walk don't Walk, Horny Toad, Right the Wrong, I love U in Me, and God. They're not necessarily ground-breaking or anything but they're different from what we're used to hearing from him.
His most embarrasing songs to me are the overproduced crap like The Greatest Romance and the album version of TMBGITW. You can add the lazy, uninspired numbers like Jughead and the title song on NPS. These are the songs I tend to skip.
By the way, Wedding Feast for the last time should not be put on these lists because it is not and was not intended to be a song as evidenced by a)it's length and b) it's context within the storyline of TRC.

As for the original question I can't remember being embarrased about humming a tune. 8)

Well, I don't think I've been embarrassed about humming a song, but there are definitely those songs that if anyone is with me, I race to the CD player to hit skip. First and foremost has to be Come. Even when I am alone, all that slurping makes me BLUSH, !

It's funny how Rave is widely considered his worst album, yet very few people are listing Rave tracks in their choices. That album is so under-rated... I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore, Silly Game, The Greatest Romance, Tangerine... all great tracks!


The most embarassing are...
I Hate U - a very apt title for such a dire track, the courtroom bit makes me cringe everytime!
Blue Light - WTF was he thinking?! It sounds like something Pato Banton should've recorded.
The majority of TRC. It's all so non-distinct I can barely remember the tracks.
Lets Go Crazy - okay, I don't mind this one, but the lyrics sound like he was stoned when he wrote them, and melodically it's hardly great.
All of Grafitti Bridge. Most of D&P (minus Thunder and Walk Don't Walk!).

Why are people mentioning the following:

Courtin Time, Thunder, Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, My Name Is Prince and Gold? These are superb tracks.

Good lord girl what's the matter?

"Everyday Is A Winding Road"

Nuff said...

Allthough I happen to LIKE "Wedding Feast".

Poz

You're ALL wrong! LOL j/k.....Hands down, the most embarassing song of all time is.....

'THE CHRIST'!

(note I said 'the Christ' NOT the Cross, this song is awesome)

But I hate how he changed it up and let Larry sing on it.....I was embarassed every time I saw them do it live...UGH I CAN'T STAND IT!!!!!

There's probably more than this but here's some, especially when you've got kids in the house or car. I won't play these for my own parents, and they're not even religious. Either skip them or turn them way way down. I listen to these alone/secretly or on low volume like folks used to sneak and listen to the old nasty standup comedy records of Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor.

Sexy MF
Pussy Control

Hmm..every non-prince fan Ive ever talked 2 loved TMBGITW. That song was what turned me on 2 Prince. Without that song he wouldnt have as many fans my age as he does!!
TMBGITW has some of the most beautiful lyrics EVER written in my opinion.

until u're in my arms again, from new power soul. same vibe as arms of orion, but less soul. coulda been okay but turns out laughable. subject matter isn't however, which makes it all the more shocking that he could this to record!!!

...while i'm not embarassed by the song, i did have an embarassing 'face down' moment...i thought i was the only person in the room where a work...and i was singing/reciting it very loudly...and..uh..there was this sorta old lady who works with me in the room...
i was just finishing up the 'those who know the number and don't call...' part..

The hatchet-job he did to "I Can't Make You Love Me" will never be forgiven.
