I used to like Incense and Candles but I'm not too fond of it. I prefer Get on the Boat, it sound like an all out jam session. pretty cool.

Incense. Get On The Boat is a decent little JB-funk track.

I believe they are both great! Every person I have played the "3121" CD for who is not Prince obsessed has really liked "Incense and Candles." My ex-boyfriend thought it should have been a single release, and I agree. "Get On The Boat" is a song that I feel represents what Prince is like playing live and being funky with his band during a concert.

Oooh. Let me speak for all the fanatics out there:

"Prince does no bad music. Both songs are the bestesessees. I love me my prince and cry when I have to choose. SO yes, both of them are the best like everything prince ever does. Prince never has made a mistake."

as for me, i think get on the boat. Shitty song, shittier closer.

Incense & Candles because of the cringe-worthy lyrics such as:

The jam has got a beat like it's making love

I wanna smother U with something as shiny as the rims upon my ride

and the worst part:

But we both know that we got 2 praise the 1 who made ya
And give props 2 the mama 4 the healthy food she must've gave ya
4 the meek at heart these words - they might sound like a sinner
But the truth is that U sittin' on every one of them dinners

The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

So, in other words, he's telling folks that unhealthy food ends up as a fat ass. What if you eat healthy food and STILL have a fat ass? lol

I agree. I think "Incense and Candles" was radio-friendly for the spring/summer. I happened to like it.
"Get on the Boat" had live jam potential.

Now I don't really play 3121 that much. the songs just kind of shuffle thru and I skip them sometimes. shrug

Love the bass on Get on the Boat, but it's a pretty mediocre song.

Incense & Candles is one of the best songs on 3121. Of course it's ridiculous. The best Prince is ridiculous. It's the only song on the record that moves his music forward (yes, I know vocoders are outdated). The rest of 3121 is kind of retread, as much as I like it.

I think my pancreas is half-way splattered against my underwear.

Incense and Candles is the BOMB yo! I think I Got Off the Boat...
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I'd take off both and add SST/New Orleans.

IAC and GOTB are the worst parts of 3121.

....had my 1st Ndepth listen 2 this project last nite @ yo'o'clock N the morning driving across the windswept plains....Incense & Candles has a couple of lines that strike the curious of a prolific writer wink (hear B?)....2 cuts were difficult 4 B 2 listen through the 1st play (how they impacted my ears-tones didn't feel good).....so on this question eye would say:

.....4 B.....the "Boat" was water logged sitting @ the dock, if it was about filler a different choice might have left a better conclusion....my trip out on the 3121 definately ended @ "The Dance" = which eye would play twice B4 hearing that "Boat" song again...

dar it is cool

hmph!

You would have to be a person that doesnt care for R&B to answer this question. I think both of them are great in their own way. Certainly not "sh*tty".

IAC is 1 of my fav's and GOTB is aiiight. The Word is better.

Incense and Candles, by far. And I actually like the vocoder thing.

GOTB is pretty damn average, but I can listen to it without cringing. Not that I listen to it much anyway.

IAC by an absolute mile. The vocoder thing should be burned.
