I remember the city leaders of Jacksonville Fl calling this song blasphemis because the lord's prayer was recited in a rock song. How rediculous that was that? I love this song and see nothing wrong with it.
@Survivor2002 This brings back so many memories & I "wasn't" supposed to listen to this nasty man singing - but thanks to my big sis & bro - I was jamming back in the day & it's still on & popping !
Ha, I was four years younger than you when I discovered him. I'm 40 now. He is in fact the greatest. Go back and listen to the old stuff. He created a whole new dimension of music back then.
Not sure if this has been said before but I remember when this song came out skating to it almost breaking my neck several times lol. And they said HE Prince would never go anywhere WTF fooled them we also used to crankin it up in the car, my Bro in law and sisters house his mother's boy those were the carefree days!
@LenaPonce OMG hell ya, little history I am mixed but look more Native American and White and Italian but also Black my sister married a black man my second father, my niece and I are more like sisters 2 year age difference when we heard this and because of all the sh** my sis and bro suffered and still together 35 yrs and goin strong, this was our jam and still is lmao!
i am white and cant get enough of this funky ass song. i love the farty sound if i can describe it that way. i have it on my iPod and jam it when im driving around trying to find peace of mind in this materialistically stupid ass world . i feel the best when im listening to music in my car. peace
@Yamboo414 Prince – vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, drums Bobby Z. – drums on "Jack U Off" Brown Mark – bass guitar on "Let's Work" Lisa Coleman – backing vocals, keyboards on "Jack U Off" Dr. Fink – keyboards on "Jack U Off" Dez Dickerson – lead guitar
Why must people bash contemporary artists to make a point about how good the oldies are? It's not impossible to love, appreciate or at the last RESPECT both.
Ok, you guys hating on the artists of today probably grew up with this music. This generation didn't, but you don't hear us talking shit about your artists... Prince, Madonna, and Michael... They were the GaGa, Britney & Katy of your time... In another 20 years, there's going to be a new set of artists. The sound is going to be different, but that doesn't mean it's going to be bad. You guys need to remember the past, not try to relive it...
@DiiJaeProductions True, you must be around my age, Tenager? Just asking. I mean, well, those artist sample. Here are some examples: Gaga- Sabrina Boys, Boys Boys Britney- Bobby Brown My Perogitive, And Katy does 'em all. So yeah, a new generation, new music but can't it be real too? It doesn't have to all sound the same like their stuff does. Good observation though.
@LaToyaVNikki Well, people have been sampling for years. And it's not like all their songs are sampled intentionally like Pitbull. Everything's been done before. If you listen to today's music really carefully you'll find samples in every song.
@DiiJaeProductions True and I guess I missed my point. But wouldn't it be cool if a new artist with new ideas came out? To save music from going downhill. I think its gonna happen really soon, I mean look, alot of legends are dyng making room for the new generation.
My god! I could I have this on repeat all day, so funky! Recording this one down in my little basement studio at the moment since a lot of our original stuff has a similar vibe. Love certain tracks from Prince, but this has got to my fav!
Ok look at how many songs notable artists have covered by prince or performed or sampled songs written by prince Stevie Nicks "Stand Back" Chaka Khan "I Feel For You" Sheila E. "The Glamorous life" Sheena Easton "Sugar walls" Art Of Noise featuring Tom Jones "Kiss" Ginuwine "When Doves Cry " (1997) #10 UK Alicia Keys "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore" and many many others How many artists have covered lady gaga?
@80spopQueen You know Madonna and Prince collaborated and it was luke warm. I bet a Lady Gaga and Prince collab would be interesting. They should be locked in a cabin and not let out until something fierce emerges - for the good of mankind.
@rsswd i bet prince would be pissed off at what today's world calls talent.
GaGa cAn't write worth a damn, prince puts his heart in his work
EXP:
PRINCE: Dream if you can a court yard... a ocean of violets in bloom..animals strick cerious posses... they feel the heat, the heat between me and you...
GAGA; living just as free as my hair....I’ve had enough, this is my prayer..I’m not a freak...I’m just here trying to play cool..And this is my prayer, I swear
@robertofnascimento narrow minded douchbag huh? or someone who likes poetry writers-
" can you my darling... can you my darling can you picture this... dream if you can a court yard.... a ocean of violets in bloom...animals strick cerious posses... they feel the heat the heat between me and you!"
GAGA- "You know that i love you boy. Hot like mexic- rejoice. At this point i gotta chose nothing to lose"-
WTF IS THAT? she nothing but a druggie college drop out who writes worth shit
@80spopQueen Dear Queenie, Can't argue with that. Dig if you will the picture is probably my favorite opening line ever. Theyre not even in the same league. And gaga does dumb it down. But to dismiss her completely is douchy and narrowminded.
@robertofnascimento what does she has to offer that tells me she shouldn't leave the classroom of fine artist? she not original, she's not anything new, her lyrics are crappy, her image is based off of costumes and a cheap hookery type thing, she nothing without her coreogropher (EXP: ON THE EDGE OF GLORY) and most of her fame is bassed off of the rediculous stuff she does and pissing off the christian community (EXP: I'm inlove with juda???? really stick to your religion bitch!!)
@80spopQueen Oh, come on. Lady Gaga is about the only real performer in music today. Granted she will never be Prince or even come close, you have to give her props for caring about what her fans want to hear rather than pumping out crappy autotuned music. Hell autotune could make me sound good even.
@SilenceSlayer224 she puts on a costume sing BS she stole from others and calls herself original (Modonna isn't the only one she stole from) Annnnnd she can't write:
P-- can you my darling... can you my darling can you picture this... dream if you can a court yard.... a ocean of violets in bloom...animals strick cerious posses... they feel the heat the heat between me and you!"
GA- "You know that i love you boy. Hot like mexic- rejoice. At this point i gotta chose nothing to lose"-
@80spopQueen my first thought was "duh" .. am i wrong for thinking that? sure prince music has samples and remixing, snyth, whatever. all of that dumb shit doesn't matter. the man can play guitar. question answered.
This song was released in the good old days, when rock stars were genuinely controversial because of their edgy sound and music, as opposed to the manufactured controversy of the phony pop stars of today, like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.
@Archangel101576 You mean to say Prince DIDN'T wear ridiculous outfits and call attention to himself with outrageous stunts like bringing his giant bodyguard on stage with him when he won a Grammy? Prince, Gaga...they're both incredibly talented artists who are also weirdos. But that can be a good thing.
