I remember an article when I was browsing through these old Jet magazines in Google, basically condemning Miss Guthrie for this song.

A FAVE from the same album,,,

She was a gorgeous dame.

confuse Why were they condemning her? The song rings just as true for today as it did back in the 80's when it came out.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

That she was promoting a materialistic and shallow lifestyle.

I love this song! I always thought it was more of a send up than a real sentiment...like the woman's version of "Walking in the Rain" by Oran Juice Jones.

These songs were so over-the-top that I thought everybody got the humor (intentional or otherwise). lol
