"Neon Telephone" is one of my favorite Prince songs ever! I have to figure out how to sign up and get the track. It won't let me log in at 3121.com. sad


I'd put Neon Telephone a few leagues above this one. I wouldn't say they sound too much alike, just similar tempos. The lyrics in this song could have been drafted by a 13 year old whereas Neon Telephone, while hardly Keats, had a personal charm and humor this song is sorely lacking (imho, of course).

Thank u, finally an honest Prince fan. I find it funny how everybody's response 2 the song is about 3 words, i like it, it sounds great. Rewind 1 hour ago, responses were I think it will b a mixture of, i hope it is blah blah blah. If u guys don't like the song don't b afraid 2 say it. If Andre 3000 came out with this song u would bash this song 2 death. I love the, "i listened 2 this song 20 times and now i like it." Isn't that what is going on n the pop world now, the companies give us garbage (not saying the song is garbage bcuz it is not) but they give us garbage 2 listen 2 over and over again until we r forced 2 like it or just tolerate it. I really love the, " i like this song, but it would sound great live with..... ( a list of additions and corrections). I wish every1 would critic songs like the do songs of the past. Prince fans r getting soft.

What makes you think people who like it aren't being honest? I don't reflexively approve of everything Prince does (I hated the hell out of Song of the Heart), but I think this song is light and catchy and fun.

My opinion may change over time, of course. But that doesn't mean I'm being dishonest now.

I've probably paid for this stupid song three times already and I still haven't gotten it. mad

What's supposed to happen after you enter all of your personal and Credit Card info and hit "Purchase"? All I've gotten so far is the same page reloading but with the word "Duplicate" across the bottom. No link to download, no instructions on how to proceed. Can someone please tell me how this is supposed to work.

Thanks.

Does it seem hard to believe for anyone else that the man who put on the guitar display yesterday at the press conference is the same man who released this track? I wasn't expecting Highway to Hell like riffs, but I also was hoping for more than a simplistic by-the-numbers pop song with juvenille lyrics and a few short guitar solos (which granted are technically sound, they just lack urgency and emotion imho).
No hard feelings.

After you put in all your info. and hit purchase it should go to a new screen with a download button then that was all. Hope this helps.
Recheck all your info. maybe somethings not right?

It's really not bad but I thought it would be more rock n roll. But I'm listening on my laptop. On a cd it might be much better. Sounds kinda like a tin can here!!

I like it even though it was much different than my expectations. And I 100% DISAGREE with the Lolita comparison. That was one of my least liked songs on that album- the song where I chose to go have smoke during the Vegas show. This is a song I wouldn't leave the room for...

the general bassline and stuff going on in the back reminds me of "I feel 4 U"- i think "Guitar" sounds kinda like P's old school stuff...the basics of the song remind me of something you would hear on Dirty Mind, mixed with some little pixie keyboard type action from Around The World in a Day and the drumbeat and handclaps like something off of Parade. The more I hear this..I'm on like my 5th listen, I really think this is a good song.

It definitely sounds better through actual speakers. I listened the first couple times with my laptop sound only -- and then I plugged in my speakers. Huge difference! lol

The exact same thing happened to me. I had to clear the browser cache then go back to the page and login again. Then go to my account and the download button finally showed up.
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

The All Along The Watchtower / Best of You melody spoiled it for me...should of rocked it out in such a manner, but this is Prince we're talking about

Hey, don't generalise. I like it and I've posted my honest feelings about the song here. I'd certainly say if I didn't like it - my Prince fandom isn't that blind that I just claim to like everything he does even when I don't, and I doubt anybody else does that either. Maybe the people who are saying they like it really do (food for thought for you). Just because someone says that they don't like it doesn't make them the only honest person here. They're entitled to not like it, just as you are, but don't assume that everybody who disagrees with your view on the song is being 'dishonest'. It seems that a number of people like the song. It's a shame that that is upsetting you.

you stole the words outta my head...i was just gonna say that! thumbs up!

Aside from letters and numbers you need to include a symbol as well like !@#$, hope this helps I had a hard time figuring this out too, someone on her posted it and it worked for me.


I love the song, "I love you baby but not like I love my guitar" biggrin

OMG, I love this song! lol


It lends itself to remixing like a motherfucker. Probably makes a great live song too.

It's simple, catchy, not-over-the-top, and poppy. It sounds like mixing "Shake" from Graffit Bridge, "Do it All Night" from Dirty Mind, and something the B-52s would release. Really fun.

I normally hate his choice of singles, but this one is kind of fun. lol

Hell, I love the song --I shall prepare myself now for the label of ass-kisser or brainwashed or whatever. I don't care. If I like the song, why should I pretend that I don't. It has a cool little melody, a lot of energy, witty vibe. Love the layered sounds, great on the headphones. Hope P plays it at the Superbowl.

Yes! But not because you love the song or anything. shrug
