พ : 8 .indulgecountry : 8 samo๐ฆ : 8 Linnethia Monique : 9In The Bed Alonetim : 10 newpower : 12 In This Bed Eye Scream was recorded in the winter of 1995 and originated when Prince set his guitar down in the studio and inadvertently started a feedback loop; he began building the song around that sound (which can still be heard in the outro). Lyrically, the song was written as a pseudo-apology to his past female collaborators and friends Wendy, Lisa and Susannah for how their relationships fell apart. In fact, he sent the demo to Wendy and Lisa and asked for their creative output but then never acknowledged their response or included their suggestions in the final cut. ![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif)

Emancipation pt. I is very pricey elevator music. The production is only surprising in how banal and safe it is...like you would think all that big fighting to be free from his label was because he wanted to be super experimental and off the wall...but no, it's bc he really, really wanted to release a wedding-singer cover of Betcha By Golly Wow. Make it make sense!

It's also the rare Prince track to incorporate a sample; the "bought a house next to Prince" sound byte is from Ice Cube's 1993 song What Can I Do?. This also borrows from the Big City Remix of the NPGโs single The Good Life (which features the same Ice Cube sample and has similar production) I see that banal but charming cover of โBetcha By Golly Wowโ hasnโt been eliminated yet.... interesting ๐ค

พ : 7 LBTrocks : 8 @antigonerising : 9 Sir Benji : 9 SHOOTER : 9 samo๐ฆ : 11 Betcha By Golly Wow! is a cover of The Stylistic's 1972 hit and was the first cover song Prince had ever included on one of his albums; he stated he had wanted to release a version of the song for years but Warner Brothers would never clear it so it became one of the first tracks he chose when putting together Emancipation. Since it was only released as a promotional single in America, it was ineligible for the Hot 100 but did crack the top-10 on both the Rhythmic and R&B Airplay charts and #11 in the UK.

โWhite Mansionโ is such a feel good song I think it would have done really well as a UAC only single.

#4 has the HIGHEST SD and earned the higher rank because, in spite of three bottom-3s, it has two #1 ranks.

Wait that's his house? That straight up looks like a healthcare office complex I-- That is the infamous Paisley Park! His ultimate dream was for it to become a museum for his fans to visit someday. ![](https://i.ibb.co/GpsNqRw/c76461dd-cd7d-4931-afae-c1872788a20f-e7ce48aeb091f56ab93837c647f80574.jpg)

It definitely looks more like a museum than a house. How edgy.

พ : 3Linnethia Monique : 4 .indulgecountry : 5 Mirago : 5 singingrulebritannia : 7 SHOOTER : 7 samo๐ฆ : 7 Nobody's Nothingnewpower : 11 Somebody's Somebody was issued to R&B radio in early 1997 as the album's second promotional single where it peaked at #15 on the Airplay chart; it was released in the UK as a double-A single along with The Holy River and became Prince's last top-20 hit there, peaking at #19. The rare Prince song to share co-writing credits, the original lyrics were written by soul singer/songwriter Brenda Lee Eager (who had a 1970s top-3 R&B hit with the Jerry Butler duet Ain't Understanding Mellow) and Hilliard Wilson for Mavis Staples' 1992 album The Voice (released via Paisley Park). When the record didn't make the final cut, Prince kept it for himself. The double-A single also included a Livestudio Mix and Ultrafantasy Edit of the track.

Top-2 comes down to the song right smack in the middle of the SD spectrum vs. the 2nd-lowest SD! With 15 points, four #1s and a bottom-3 rank between them, the winner is... *insert suspense*
