I hate it when the radio version cuts off the intro of Prince’s LETS GO CRAZY. It’s just not right — it is the most memorable part of the song and what gives it the proper build to… go crazy! It should be:

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here 2 tell u
There’s something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night

So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one – Dr Everything’ll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

‘Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You’re on your own

And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy – punch a higher floor…

When you hear it on the radio, all you get is:

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life

(ridculous!)
