Apart from the brainwashed 'JW' lyrics, this is by far the most catchy track on 3121, and i really think it would make a great hit. When i look at the peeps around me (Prince lovers, Prince haters, Prince neutralists), i must say most of them enjoy organic, energetic funk when they are going out, they would sure love this song,

Its the kind of track that many people around my age and past (30+) enjoy dancing to. Prince should give it a chance and release it as a single.

I completely agree. I listened to Get on the Boat twice. It's pure funk and pure Prince. I can do without the lyrics too, but the funk is undeniable.

Please change the title of this thread.

Incidentally, I'm listening to Love at the moment, and opened this thread to the soundtrack of "Stop giving me your wishlist".

Good song. Waaaay too retro for a decent single though.

Disagree, would not work as single.
The WORD,Lolita and FURY are catchier.

LOVE should be the new single , it has hitpotential i think

Oooh calm down, you will wear it out.

I disagree.
"Get On The Boat" isn't really single material considering the music that's on the radio these days. I personally feel (and this is just MY opinion...not trying to dis here) that it's 3121's "Life O The Party" which I could not stand. I think if Prince wants a big hit that "Incense and Candles" and "The Word" or "Love" would all give him "hit" status on the charts. If he plays his cards right. His single picking hasn't been that great though. I really hope he puts out some nice artwork and photography on the sleeves too. His stuff has been so cheesy....and the fonts he uses....Phhhhewwwwy. Bad.
After giving 3121 a few listens I think the man has something on his hands for once. I hope he can effectively showcase it this time around.

u iz right....

the next single from 3121 shud b love, but the boat is great!!

fury got the most hitpotential, no doubt
people in general don't get funk so get on the boat wouldn't be a good single i think
i love the track though, but prettyman was even better JB funk hehe
lolita is a potential hit too...

nah just let them pick FURY
the standout track of the album, instant classic!!!

He should release a new album...
