Meh....It was cool. Kinda funky, disco feel. I guess that if I knew who she was I'd feel better about it. Like...with Cindy C, I KNEW who Prince spoke of. All I get with Miss Chelsea is her on her page holding 3121 perfume.

Yep, this is my fav !!!

I LOVE THIS SONG!! It's really funky and I love the singing. Prince and the female lead sound great together.

Best track of the album!!!

this is like a roller skate jam
something u would hear at the roller disco back in the 60's n 70's

n then like now it seems like u would find this on a karoke machine

totally funkdified Prince!!!

Really funky and fun.....no way can I sit still on this one!

On first listen - this would be my pick for a single. The bassline is too funky!

To paraphrase Rene Magritte: Ceci n'est pas le funk.

I was very disappointed in this track. After reading the listening party reviews I expected a lot more funk, and this just doesn't deliver for me. It's not necessarily a bad song, it's just not as funky as a lot of people seem to think it is. Partially because of the disco/big band horns, and partially because of the lyrics. No way would they bump this in the clubs I go to in New York.

But the problem is that "shake it like a Polaroid picture" was original when Andre 3000 made up that catchphrase, what, 4-5 years ago? Prince using "shake it like a juicy-juice" makes it sound like he's just biting off a phrase that someone else came up with a few years ago to try and stay relevant (same with his use of 'baby mama'). Prince should have been the one who came up with shake it like a Polaroid picture...not recycling it into juicy-juice.


And what the hell--between Juicy-Juice and Raisenets in his mouth, Prince sounds like he has the diet of a 10 year old. (Still love ya P! )

Cindy C was a hotter model and a better song.

"What's a matter, Cindy? Don't you like me?!?"
That was the jam on "The Black Album". Matter of fact, if he released that, today, and maybe changed the name, it would have been great. It doesn't sound dated or anything. I still haven't heard "Chelsea Rodgers", yet. But, if it's anything like "Cindy C", it's a certified party theme.

Hot damn that motherfuckin' song is bad! When it first started, I immediately said "DISCO" (my first love). Definately the best song on the album.

if this is the funkiest track on the album ..then i'm throwing in my funk card right now..

if i wanna hear donna summer i'll go listen 2 some true disco music...

damn P where is the funk!!!???

well, its a good song...but shelby's second rate mavis staples shtick is tiring...if she sang the song in the same vain that prince does it would be okay...

but, i do think the song is cute. my fav? nope. his best funk track in ages? nope...but still cute.

The best prince track in ages? Don't think so. I could name it
least 6 off of 3121 that were better. This is not even as funky as 3121.
This song is average at best and sounds very discoish in the vein of evelyn champagne king's i don't know if it's right.

This is the only song I like

When I listen to it, I'm reminded of Brainstorm's "Loving Is Really My Game". It's definately disco, but what can I say, I loved disco and still do. The uptempo fun and funkiness of disco is what led me to funk.

I used to LOVE that Brainstorm song. Especially when the violins come in. . .

O.K., back to the topic. . .

Ok you militant orgers lol!! Dont shoot. But this song kinda reminds me of.....

if i put this song up next 2 love off of 3121 and love wins within the 1st 10 secs of it

and i'm still waiting 4 this song 2 b bounced off arena walls

I wouldn't call this my favorite from the album, but it's the ONLY one that made my body move immediatiely.

As a composition it's not that great, but as a groove he really nailed it.

I'd heard about her vocals as being too much, and I was pleased to hear that it wasn't true.

Akhenaten - go pull out your TRC disk...

I wish Camille sang the song! Its my least favorite track, but I still like it because I think its HOPPIN' THE HOOPS!!!

It got funky right there! Love the Prince Clean Guitar on this Cut!

Overrated, but might kill at an aftershow or on the ONA tour. Catchy and nice in it's way, but anyone who calls this "funk" don't know what funk is. I like it, but this song is straight up disco.

Amazing, Awesome, Perfect! Listened to it the whole commute home (about 45 minutes straight)
