  • my first love song 1986 / i love it !!!

  • Remember this was the 80s. I heard this song on the radio (although it wasn't the single) and thought it was Prince. It should have been a single release because it was the shiznit and that guitar solo at the end was rrrruffffffff....

  • There all from SugarPlum Fairy world.

  • Always the BEST joints that covered up. This song was/is the S%%# . Rhonda Lee Rose and yer Red Truck...If by some small one and a million chance that you see this comment. Girl, this was OUR song....bet you didn't know. :-)

  • I used to listen to this song repeatedly and yes, it was very underrated.

  • THIS SONG WAS THE SHIT

  • maleimage thats not true i read in blackbeat magazign back in 85 when they went to the concert and they said prince snubbed them. so why would he write them a song? Also i had the first album.(read the credits !!) Prince had nothing to do with them.All Prince proteges albums came out on warner bro. records there was no affiliation at all. rtfw was on mca records. Prince was from minnisota rtfw is from michigan.

  • Is "minnisota" anywhere near Minnesota - the state Prince is from? (dumb ass spelling)

  • @cllamont - LMAO...........just read your comment. Thank you so much.........I can't stand a dumb ass speller either.......LOL!!! Youtube comments are filled with grammatical/spelling errors. An English teacher's nightmare!!

  • @MDPERRYWILSON RFTW IS PURE MIDWEST FUNK...NOT PRINCE...THE SOUND IS JUST SIMILAR...BEING THEY ARE BOTH FROM THE MIDWEST...

  • im bumping this in my truck right now . i have all their cds

  • Very underrated song. My dorm mates would only let me blast it when they were drunk and didn't care I was blasting. They just didn't appreciate anything beyond Oh Sheila and Tonight. Dummies!

  • i did not put thet comment someone hacked into my account and whoever it was i bet you can't get in again

  • Ohhhhh...This wassss tha shit..What Memories..

  • if you like this song - on the Ruff N Ready album there is a song called, "it's funny" that never got recognition either..

  • I can't find it on here, would you be able to download it?

  • No, i had a really bad copy of the album. The audio is fade in and out so bad you can't enjoy the song.

  • only true fans know about this song, loved it.

  • Written by Prince.

  • RFTW went to one of his concerts, and he snubbed them. Prince didn't care for them because he felt they capitalized on his sound, and got a hit. Which I think is a bunch of crap considering they all are from the same part of the country. So of course their sound is similar. So I doubt he'd write any songs for them.

  • You have no idea what youre talking about, Prince wrote 'Oh Sheila' and at least 8 other of their tracks.

  • know your facts

  • No he didnt , stupid ass

  • Prince and RFTW have never worked together

  • prince didnt write any of their stuff!!! they never worked together

  • thats the dumbest thing I have heard - MI and MN are not the same - and even if they were, that is no excuse for ripping off another artist.

  • one of their best

  • Great Song!!!

  • This song never got any recognition. This was their BEST.

    Classic!

  • This song is definitely awesome.I'm a big RFTW fan but I never heard this one.

  • Damn the great Prince had such an impact on this gen

  • I have never heard of this song by Ready for the World. Thanks for posting it "somekidnamedold".

  • My gosh...this should been released as it's own single and not a b-side....AWESOME!!! :)

  • I always thought this song was underrated back in the days.

  • CLASSIC!
