Damn, that was hot!!!

Freaking !!!

Nice! Better than I expected, sharp video too. I think the dark and quirky Prince is on it's way back, fingers crossed...

That song is a lot like Prince 2006 era!!!

"As eccentric and innovative as ever" - Great Prince intro by MTV

About his look - Just be happy he has no ugly gold ear crowns.

Does anyone know anything about the dancer?

AHHH!! I knew there was a reason to get on the internet tonight!!!

I love it!! This video is awesome!!!

I can't wait to see/hear this live. With his REAL band: John, Rhonda, Candy, Renato, Maceo, Greg and Chance.

LOVE IT - LOVE IT - LOVE IT!!
Its the first time in a very long time ive heard a prince song and loved it the first time through.
I can see this being a club hit - a very sexy song to dance to.
I really like the video, simple but effective. And he's not trying to act in it thank gawd!
The man is on the top of his form and looking fantastic!
Prince has got it going on!!! Bring on SNL bring on the tour!!!

Not the spitting image, I know, but Nina Simone came to my mind when I saw that part of the video.

And DAMN! She's got a big mouth! I love it.

Welcome to the Mothereffing Dawn!

I just heard the new song. Totally wack! Sounds dated and makes Musicology sound like a masterpiece. I thought it would be much better after all the raves I've heard. You honestly believe this will be a hit??

Ughh!! Apparently,the streaming technology won't work on my Mac OS.

do ya'll see what i see?

1)Black Sweat=ode to "Kiss"

2)the Black & White Vibe=Parade Album Cover

3121 is gonna be a audio (and visual) trip

and i thought that Christopher Tracy died in Under The Cherry Moon...

or according to this video...DIDN'T HE?

i smell a waft of 1986 here....yet it's 2006.

Me neither....someone said the HQ version should work with IE.

Mercedes73 said:

I hope you're correct. 1985-1987 turned out my favorite Prince stuff.

That was a VERY PLEASANT surprise!!!!

Awesome song.

Welcome back Prince!

Any screen-capture program should work. I use Snag-It. I can do captures of whatever is on my screen and then crop the image. So if there's a video playing, most screen-capture programs will snag the video too. You just gotta time it so you get the video frame that you want.

I'm not familiar with what capture programs will work with a Mac, but I know they exist and they work the same way.

Hope this helps.

I noticed when I watched the video on MTV's site in Internet Explorer, that there was a 16mb ".dat" file in my temporary files for Black Sweat. Though I could not open it, and when I tried to change the extension to ".wmv" it would bring up some dialog about licenses.

The face he makes in response to the woman screaming is pure GOLD! Priceless!!!!!

Ummm, okay really how many of Prince's vids have you actually loved....he has had lots of vids but very few actual good ones.....you may have liked the songs...but the vids have rarely matched the greatness of the songs.....i think you can count on one hand the really goood vids....

Reminds me to put the lid down after I pee..

Seriously, doesn't it look like they're hanging all over a toilet seat?

No music just a beat and a stringy background?
I expect more for my buck.

Kim69 said:

Ummm, okay... I think the years '84 thru '88 were pretty fab... "Raspberry Beret" was like nothing ever seen in those days, the humor in "Girls & Boys" was unexpected, hidden messages in "Alphabet Street" were intriguing, "America" kicked the most ass...

And I could go on, but I think you could agree that those clips were worthy of several rotations.

Did you say that about KISS?

doeineffect said:

F that noise!... If he's gonna repeat himself then he should bring back Eric, Fink, and Sheila.

Meh; didn't like the song or video.

This song doesn't compare to any tracks on Musicology. After the disappointing Te Amo Corazon and this song, 3121 is going to be a letdown.

Prince actually performed this song in Philadelphia during the Musicology show. He did it during the 2nd night of the 3 night stand.

Cool tune... nothing stellar... but I'm diggin' it. I think it's much better to hear in a night club than on a PC, but I think it's kinda slammin'.

I think the video leaves a little to be desired. I would have liked to have seen the P man dance a little more than he does... but it's a cool tune.

And yes, it does sound a bit like an outtake from The Truth!

Very interesting video.

You all know that Prince based the Time on the men of his father's generation, the guys who'd dress all spiffy fine, older yes but still seductive. When he started that, it was mockingly, but lovingly so.

Well, he's reached that certain age and I think he's decided that showing his age and acting it is sexy. That he doesn't have to be all explicit and kinetically, overactively seductive. That less is more, and that a touch of grey stubble on the chin is not a problem. He's not ready to show grey on the side but he's definitely going for that more mature sexiness. A lot of women, some quite young, go for that -- in fact, many I know go weak for them.

After a day I think the song is deceptively catchy. There's no point in expecting a Kiss or WDC -- these songs were great not only by themselves, but because of the music of the time. Here we are in well-kown territory, but it's done rather expertly. I think it could do well commercially.
