Mr. Goodnite did and still does it for me.

Sleep around was a song I played near non stop every night on my way to work to brighten up the situation of leaving my daughter at tea time.

nothing since then?.

dag, a lot of love for F.U.N.K. it seems, looks like i'ma have to cop that. is it on Itunes? and was PFunk only available online?

i initially mentioned The Dance but i admit i bought 3121 because of Black Sweat. TRC (whole album) caught me off guard too in a good way.

planet earth

i'm cheating here...there are 3 recent songs that knocked me off my feet upon 1st listen*:

1. supercute
2. the dance
3. chelsea rodgers


*rank is based on how many times i played the songs over and over

FUNK and PFunk are the same song, it was just re-named Yes, you can buy it on itunes! Brilliant song too

The dance - IMO prince's best song of the 2000s

Sensual Everafter - Greatest instrumental iv ever heard

Thunder - After listening to all the 80s albums i was totally suprised to hear such different style of song

train was released on mavis staples album time waits for no one in 1989

The 1 U Wanna C is nothing genius, but it's a really good pop song. IMO it was his potentially biggest single since Cream.

MAN! There are several from the past few albums....

Beautiful, Loved and Blessed

The One U Want 2 C

Resolution

Te Amo Corizon

Reflection

3121

The Dance

The Song Of The Heart (very special)

To be honest, I am always kind of blown away with his music.

I agree!!

I already answered... but let me answer again.

There have been only 7 songs that have blown me off my feet the very first time I heard them. Here they are, in the order in which I heard them.

1. When Doves Cry. I had never heard anything like it before. Automatically captivated me and made me a fan for life!


2. Let's Go Crazy. The first rock song I ever heard from an artist who's African-American like me. Bye-bye John Cougar Mellancamp. lol... Prince is my new hero! LOL

3. How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore. Heard this song in college after trying to back through some old Prince. BLEW ME AWAY! Didn't know he could play the blues. AMAZING song. Alecia Keyes' version can not touch this classic!

4. Alexa de Paris. I used to play Under the Cherry Moon on VHS over and over just to see this part of the movie and hear this song. I couldn't find the song, and didn't know the name until one day, I flipped over my 12 inch Kiss on vinyl about a YEAR after I had it! LOL... OMG... here it is!!!! Classic song. Classic segment to Under the Cherry Moon.

5. Sexy MF. Heard this song at 12:45 a.m. while driving home from work. By the time I turned into my the drive way, my hands were in pain from hitting my steering week so much along with the ... 'Dunh Dunh Dunh... You Sexy MotherFuckaahhhh! LOL (Of course, it was edited for radio!) lol

6. Come. AMAZING! The fact that this song never got any airplay made it even better because it feels like it's MINE! My little glam-ghetto jam! His passion in the song, and the rythym are just phenomenal!

7. PFunk. Song came from out of nowhere! I was like... what the heck! The man can roll out of the wrong side of bed, and make a jam!


I have songs that grew on me that I like better than these cuts... but these are the only cuts that blew me away at first listen.

So the answer to your question... once again... is PFUNK!!!

(Sorry for being so long-winded!)

Have to go with "F.U.N.K". That song came out of knowhere and is one of his best.

I enjoyed some things on every album since then (Dear Mr. Man, Te Amo Corazon, The Dance, 3121, Planet Earth, Somewhere Here On Earth). But the question here was: 'Which was the last new P song that knocked you off you feet when you heard it for the 1st time?' And to that question, the answer for me has to be TRC.
One main problem is that my expectations are high, since Prince has done some amazing things in his career. When TRC came out, I was at a point where I didn´t expect Prince to surprise me with a new album. But he did!

That's the thing about the radio that drives U crazy..."Musicology," should be in the program directors line-ups...along with "Kiss," and the other popular songs.

"Musicology," hits that music marker, that...keep it on repeat, makes U wanna go to the top of Mount Rushmore and scream..."What! is Going On Here!"

The Sensual Everafter

The Rainbow Children
