"Jack U Off" is probably one of the funniest Prince songs ever.
I don't skip all the way through Controversy to hear it, but it's the most hilarious bookend to that album.

first with the "Sexuality" synth-percussion
then with the rockabilly music
then with the lyrics
then with the damn TITLE

I remember seeing that song title on the back of the Controversy album in a Camelot Music YEARS ago and falling out laughing with the same sort of pedantic glee when I spotted an album (in the same store) by a band calling themselves The Queers, entitled BEAT OFF

(later I found out that The Queers were basically a "shock" group who purposely made music with awful lyrics)

>Meaning I wish he treated his loyal fans the way that Bruce
>Springsteen does.

yeah. that's basically the crux of my Prince "criticism" as well.
I mean his music @ this point is whatever. he keeps his name alive, people continue to pack the house to see him/wonder what the hell it's all about.
