Funny enough I was enjoying the album vinyl version this evening - indeed it is a great funky tune, HOWEVER for me it can't beat the vinyl version of LADY CAB DRIVER!!!


Although I have yet to hear the 12" version.

Funkiest song? Hmmmm. It's up there.
Funkiest bass line? Quite possibly!

"Let's Work" is definately one of his funkiest. It's my second favorite next to "Head".

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

There's no "funkiest Prince song", because he's created songs so funky they can overpower each other on any given day, depending on your mood and whimsy.

I would say that after years of discussing the topic, five songs stand out :

Head
Let's Work
Irresistible Bitch
DMSR
Lady Cab Driver


Those are the songs most frequently described as Prince's funkiest. There are many others that are worthy of being compared to these songs. For instance, "Kiss" could easily replace DMSR but then you'll think "hmmmm...DMSR could earily replace Kiss".

I don't know about funkiest but its sure up there and the 12" is unbelievable but also for D.M.S.R. has to be tied with it.
