  • @renumeratedfrog

    this is not disco it´s prince, dahling! minnie ap sound!

  • Wow! I stopped looking for Prince music because of the copyright infringent laws. I used to not be able to find anything on here by him but silence. This is good for me.

  • @McBangus Sounds like he said "we do whatever we please"....your version is funny as hell though...lol

  • @McBangus lol

  • @McBangus HAHAHA good one!

  • White, Black, Puerto-Rican, Everybody just a-freakin. I love Prince.

  • 80s R&B has been the standard of music, and by the way music is now, it will never be surpassed.

  • No dislikes.

    

  • Bring back the bikinis and leggings prince, please!

  • Has anyone seen this video other than me??? LMAO Prince is the man.. dancin in his speedo.. that was too funny!

  • @djgq20 One YT channel had a few of the vids from this time, but they killed his channel. The albums and videos from before 1999 and Purple Rain is what built his fanbase.

  • @JEDI7ACEN so you know everybody that ws listening to this was real freaked out bak then

  • @djgq20 I saw that video. Prince was on somethin' else dancing around in circles. Did you see the video for Dirty Mind too?

  • @arkansoul Yea he was on something lol... and I think so.. if it was on taht greatest hits video disk I did but I cant remeber.. but when I saw this I was like wtf???! lol but hey dats him all the way lol.. I was rollin though lol

  • @djgq20 It was, indeed, on that greatest hits disk. It had the video for Controversy on it too. But that's the Prince that made me a very big fan.

  • @arkansoul Honestly me too... I pray my aunt that introduced me to his records gives me her record collection....I'll be a very rich man

  • @djgq20 We used to have a bunch of his records from the 70s. I moved them with me when I went to college and lost them in a move to another apartment. I'm still sick over that.

  • Yes u can hear the MUSIC!!!!! my fav. prince song!

  • One of my fav prince records and one of the most insfluential ... suck it safe pop!!!

  • This Artist kept me pure and always will .....

  • Prince is God

  • happy tuesday PRINC3. <3

  • everybody drag!

  • this was when prince was hott! real hott!

    she said: are you gay?

    happy birthday! prince

  • SEXY!!!!

  • I miss the early 80s when i hear this . good times.

  • @veeseee128 it was 79 not 80s

  • @swanieful Sorry but Dirty Minds was released on October 8 1980 which would mean the early 80" s not 1979.

  • @getnervousedy You are correct,this great album came out in October of 1980.I remember it so clearly,and it did cause a lot controversy.Prince has gone through many changes musically since "The Dirty Mind" album.

  • @swanieful WHATEVER. DIRTY MIND CAME OUT IN 80S SON.

  • @swanieful

    Dirty Mind was release in the fall of 1980, I remember it so vivdly causing so much controversy (album cover too front & back) because of the sexually explicit content of the lyrics in the songs. Everyone was talking about how Prince had changed overnight to some sex craze freak on this third album. His earlier two releases "For You" (1978) & "Prince" (1979), had ballads and were not sexually charged, that's why everyone was so shocked when this was release that year (1980).

  • this is the jam and it still holds up today

  • The only thing wrong with this album is it's too short at 30 min. This is the album that created the "Minniappolis Sound". The way he combined keyboards and guitar. Started Prince's artistic domination of the 80's.

  • I believe both Dirty Mind and Controversy were Prince's finest moments. Although I consider both to be the same album.

  • @geographypony You are 100% correct about both of those albums being Prince best work by far of all of Prince's albums. Both albums are pure gunnies well written, well produce and great vocals..!!!

  • @getnervousedy It's wonderful to see you agree. I love that pop-funk both albums share. Wish Prince would revisit this sound in some of his newer music.

  • THIS SONG ROCKS! THIS IS WHAT REAL MUSIC IS..... IT TIMELESS....... IT TRANSCENDS....... IT MOVES! PRINCE, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART

  • YEEEAAAAHHH! ! ! !

  • This funky song rocks. I noticed this is the complete song.

  • Dirty Mind is one of Prince best. work !

  • Prince is still the shit.

  • prince kick ass. I was a teen when this hit the air waves

  • Electrfying Mojo in Detroit, Marvelous Marv, and Nat Morris from Detroit used to play this shit all the time!

  • all music before and after meets right here on this album....miles couldnt have compiled it all in such a musically legible fashion..jazz,funk,pop,rock,pu­nk rock,rocka billy,r&B....

  • Hey, yes I Love Prince.

  • Man this was the absolute best ! Prince at his finest ... Great memories !!!

  • 3:44

  • Prince for ever.

  • prince jammed on this muthaphucka

  • I love the Intro. I can listen to 20 min. of it. Oh, the song is great, too.

  • What I really love about this song is the guitar. So understated but amazing ...

  • This was tight

  • One of my most favorite Prince songs--I JUST LOVE PRINCE!

  • Great beat and love the base... I'm surprise this song has never been sampled..... dr dre should ask prince if he could sample this on his up and coming detox album.

  • When I first heard it in 1981 it became one of my most fave songs ever. Saw the video as well and enjoyed it.

  • Good prince 

  • When I moved to the Twin Cities in '91, one of the first places I wanted to go to was the Uptown section of Minneaplois. I was there within a few days and could see firsthand the various inspirations for the song's lyrics.

  • i DIG THIS SONG SO MUCH!

  • Always a pleasure. Great memories...

  • Timeless, I lived in uptown in the day, even when Tom Waits was hangin, ya, Im old.

  • cant stop it haha its too good

  • Comment removed

  • This intro had me hooked when I first heard this as a kid. I'm still hooked...

  • This is one of my favorite songs ever.

    Prince all the way!!!
