agreed. 3121 is a great song, but it wouldnt make sense as the last song of that album, GOTB is also out of place. Positivity, not a great song, but really works at the end of Lovesexy.. Adore, probebly the best finale ever, Party Up, Purple Rain, Sometimes it snows in April, etc.. all great closers.. but GOTB??¿?¿? | |

if the entire song was the ending drum and whatever the hell noise sheila makes then it would rock. Space for sale... | |

I can't see it working elsewhere on the album. Suitable closing track, imo. | |

that's exactly what saves the end of the album. only barely, but it does. i wish that portion would be extended to at least 2 or 3 minutes. that'd make for a nice finale. kind of like the end of "The War" with all that mad percussion going on. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

The problem with Get on the Boat being the ending on 3121 is that it comes after The Dance! I mean the Dance takes you on an emotional rollercoaster and leaves you breathless when it ends abruptly, then Get on The Boat comes on and totally kills the mood. 3121 would have been even better if The Dance was the last song. | |

[Edited 3/27/07 2:46am] "Live 4 Love" gets this honor, IMO. What better way to end anything off than with an orgasm?  I am MrVictor.... | |

Id go one better and say that if the Dance was the last song, it would be considered one of his best ever albums.. Just think if SOTT didnt end with Adore, but say.. "Hot Thing", we wouldnt be calling it great now.. | |

After listening a bit to 3121 on the mp3 player I moved GOTB to the second song and placed Te' Amo Corazon at the end of the playlist.
The start of the album flows much better with four up tempo songs and ends more smoothly. | |

I agree, I don't think it should even be on the album, it sounds like a Musicology 'left-over' to me. That's why it dont sound like it belongs, it's uplifting, like a bit of an encore, but don't fit the album. | |

vinx98 said: 3121 - A great album, but what a lame a** song Get on the Boat is! Really?? After all the great end of album songs Prince made throughout his career, GOTB has got to be the lamest and weakest. Just no life or spark to it at all. Real disappointment.
http://www.soundclick.com...ID=5159083 www.slumberlords.co.uk Really??? I thought it was a good ending. My top ten strongest endings to Prince albums are: http://www.prince.org/msg/7/222235 ..... [Edited 3/27/07 8:48am] [Edited 3/27/07 10:53am] Just say "NO" to cow mucus consumption! | |

I like it. It's jazzy and has a latin flavor, and it's loaded with positivity. | |

I'll comment as soon as I listen to the album again.
I've been focusing my energy on TGE lately, so I find it a little difficult to get away from. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

I really like Get on the Boat. I love the Latin vibe, and I hope to hear more of that from Prince. My only complaint is that the vocals should have had more energy, and it could have been a bit faster. Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

moderatorAnx said: i think 'get on the boat' sounds like background music for a really annoying motivational video they'd make you watch at work. then we'd all be expected to walk around wearing stupid looking "I GOT ON THE BOAT!" pins.
 It's true. You can hear the announcer "Success can be yours! Don't let your dream boat sail away..." "get on the boat... get on the boat, people..." | |

Personally, i don't really care for "get on the boat"
I don't think I would notice If i went to listen to 3121 one night and it just wasn't on the cd at all... it just doesn't bother me either way | |

when i first heard 3121 from start to finish, i was more than satisfied with get on the boat being the last song, i even commented that it was one of the best arranged albums in a while "was i the first, was i your every fantasy" | |

I agree... I love the whole set-up of it and the way I felt that he could read my mind throughout my first listen. Each of the songs ended exactly when I wanted them to, the way I wanted them. I thought 'Get on the Boat' was a good ending cuz it continued on until I wanted it to stop. But as a song, I still gotta give it a few more listens b4 I'm sure. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong.

It is a very tame album. If u can find a more hip word to replace "tame" but with the same meaning, we may be able 2 agree. | |
