• Ricardo from Mexico CityGreat song and funk rythm. The only “dont” Of this song are the awful “muso” screaming at the end… that was The problem with Prince: he tried to do everything to the extrem and lacked the good taste to stop and let The music go, some of his singles suffer because of that
• Not A Native English Speaker from Switzerland"You don't have to be rich
  To be my girl
  You don't have to be cool
  To rule my world"
  COOL or CRUEL?
  I always thought it was "cruel". Wouldn't it make more sense?
• Melinda from AustraliaThis song is unique in a lot of ways. I loved it the minute I heard it/saw it on TV in 1986. In fact I drove my house share guy nuts playing it over and over.
  The only few early mistakes Prince made in his early career. Was havin girls on stage in lingerie. It was shocking.
  It was way too confronting. And sexploiting women that way in music video was not ‘politically correct’ by 1986. It jus wasn’t cool anymore.
  And so a lot of people didn’t get it. It was ‘what is he thinkin?’ His music was excellent. But half naked chicks and his weird take on fashion tested our devotion.
  That sorta porno, Duran Duran’s - Girls On Film song and it’s perverse music video, was made in 1981. (Yeah, I know you 80’s guys loved it)
  But by the mid 80’s we’d moved on.
  In fact I cannot believe Prince got away with his sexualised on - stage performances he seemed to love. Seriously, it was so passé.
  But his excellence in music always ensured people really looked forward to his new albums. And forgave the smutty look.
  The words to Kiss define a decade. ‘Ain’t no particular sign I’m more compatible with’ ...is lyric genius. And his cool screaming at one point in the song. Is even more an example of what he could get away with. Cause he was Prince.

• Joe from Miami Beach, FlAlthough it was reworked by Mazarati and David Z. the song came back to Prince....just the way it had to be...read my complete review at http://www.trackasingle.com/?p=437
• Erik from Minneapolis, MnWrong. This song was written by Mazarati. Thats it point blank. Prince took it cause it was too good. He didn't write it, he stole it. This is fact. I know cause I hang w/ Mazarati all the time. Most members still live in Mpls and play together.Their sound guy,Dave is one of my best friends.This is a Mazarati song and it was not given to Prince but taken by him.Sometimes you need to talk to the ones who were there to get the facts.Especially when it comes to Prince facts.BTW,I gotta lot more facts that I'll be posting soon.I record at Matt Finks' studio w/ him so I have access to people who know and were there.
• Jim from Amsterdam, NetherlandsA story I've heard tells that George Michael and a friend of his were out in a nightclub one night. Kiss was played; it was a nr 1 hit at that time. This friend went on and on about how brilliant he thought this song was: no more than a simple blues, but the hand of the Master, Prince, made it unique and of a brilliance nobody could ever match. He said that he didn't think George M could write a nr 1 hit with only three chords (the basic 1-4-5 blues). George replied he thought he could. They made a bet that George would be on nr 1 with a similar tune within a year and the next day George Michael wrote "Faith". We all know who won that bet, I guess.
• Tony from Chicago, IlI am in love with this song!!!! absolutely addictive! Incredible guitar! perfect sexy vocals from PRINCE!!
• Ma_cherie from Little Rock, ArIn Prince's version, he sings what sounds like "I think I wanna dance." In the Tom Jones version with Art of Noise, he sings "I think we better dance now." The line "I think we better dance now" becomes a key point in the movie "Happy Feet" as the whole song is laced throughout points in the movie.
