oh come on like anybody couldn't write a shitty book about bowie

― da croupier, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:06 (eighteen years ago)

prince is like 3x as good

― 69, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:12 (eighteen years ago)

I'd even go 10x! If we're only counting Bowie since Prince has been recording, then we're getting closer to 800.

lol scruffy white dudes all have a crush on prince
dude has like what, three good songs? Meh.

― El Tomboto, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:22 (eighteen years ago)

he's okay i suppose

― omar little, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:27 (eighteen years ago)

awww u know u guys like raspberry beret!

Has Prince ever been seen publicly playing a saxophone? If not, maybe that's something Bowie does better. By default.

― 69, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:32 (eighteen years ago)

i mean blood diamonds though

― 69, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:36 (eighteen years ago)

potshots all round
seriously though even if prince and bowie were neck & neck in the writing and production stakes, prince has done a lot more vaguely embarrassing shit vis a vis blogging about himself in sub-txt msg 11-yo girl talk and trying to change his name to a hieroglyph for "sexually confused"

― El Tomboto, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:40 (eighteen years ago)

BOWIE MADE A DRUM 'N BASS LP FFS

― sanskrit, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:44 (eighteen years ago)

yes David Bowie has not done much "vaguely" embarassing shit

How beautiful do the words have 2 be
Before they conquer every heart?
How will U know if I'm even in the right key
If U make me stop before I start?

CHORUS:
If I came back as a dolphin
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin

Why does my brother have 2 go hungry
When U told him there was food 4 all?
This is the man that stands next 2 the man
That stands 2 catch U when U fall (Oh!)

CHORUS

If I'm under water, will U find me? (Find me {x4})
Will U shine a light and try 2 guide me?
It's happened before, I've knocked on your door
But U wouldn't let me in

How beautiful do the words have 2 be
Before they conquer every heart? (Oh!)

If I came back as a dolphin
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
Come back in the end as a dolphin (Oh)
(I'll come back, baby)
(Let me in, let me in) As a dolphin
(Be my friend) Dolphin
(Yeah, yeah)

Dolphin
As a dolphin
As a dolphin
As a dolphin

does anyone remember that early 90's ad for Ecco the Dolphin that had Jacques Cousteau in it?

― latebloomer, Monday, 12 November 2007 04:48 (eighteen years ago)

fwiw i think bowie and prince at their respective creative peaks are about equal

― latebloomer, Monday, 12 November 2007 04:49 (eighteen years ago)

obv you're not a scruffy white dude then

― da croupier, Monday, 12 November 2007 05:06 (eighteen years ago)

"tired of motherfuckers tellin me they're down with prince"

LOL tombot listens to hot chip

― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 12 November 2007 05:17 (eighteen years ago)

but yeah i had a interesting talk last night about how in 2001 suddenly every indie rocker in san diego had a sudden need to pronounce chest-beating undying fealty to bowie, prince and the stones

― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 12 November 2007 05:18 (eighteen years ago)

that game actually came up in conversation tonight! weird

― bell_labs, Monday, 12 November 2007 05:36 (eighteen years ago)

i never got past this one part where you had to swim against this really fast current or some shit. it was such a weird game. pretty graphics for the time, though.

― latebloomer, Monday, 12 November 2007 05:51 (eighteen years ago)

i heard prince bowie and the stones were all gonna do the soundtrack originally but then the joke lost steam before i could finish it

― latebloomer, Monday, 12 November 2007 05:53 (eighteen years ago)

prince is the best and dolphn is a great song especially the version on the undertaker.

― chaki, Monday, 12 November 2007 05:54 (eighteen years ago)

lol i'm more of a "greasy white dude"

what 3 songs is tombot talking about

― max, Monday, 12 November 2007 06:17 (eighteen years ago)

my guess: "dolphin"/"scarlet pussy"/"starfish and coffee"

― max, Monday, 12 November 2007 06:18 (eighteen years ago)

the batdance, the batdance and the batdance.

this thread needs an enema

― latebloomer, Monday, 12 November 2007 09:25 (eighteen years ago)

People hating on Prince are so fucking RONG.

― HI DERE, Monday, 12 November 2007 13:31 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah! And Bowie can't really sing! (But everyone knows that already, I guess.)

― JN$OT, Monday, 12 November 2007 13:50 (eighteen years ago)

This is not about one being better than the other as much as it's about not recognizing that they're both fucking talented.

― HI DERE, Monday, 12 November 2007 15:43 (eighteen years ago)

The second Eco game is AWESOME.

― Laurel, Monday, 12 November 2007 15:50 (eighteen years ago)

But one IS better than the other, nonetheless! And I say that as someone that's loved Bowie's work since before he started sucking.
