The Song 'F.U.N.K'

I have heard this song via one of these video hosting websites, claims it is a new single, does anyone know anything about it? Pending album release? Single?

I like it and want to find out more.

Any help appreciated...
I am Princes love child!

Are you in the States? It's on iTunes.

As for info, it was supposed to be a "diss" on fans, called PFUNK, but imagine his surprise when he found out people actually liked it.

So he quickly renamed it and decided to sell it. Anyway, as far as I know, it's not for an upcoming album.

If only there was an official web site of some sort where Prince could communicate directly with his fans and let him know what's going on. hmmm...

nah, that's just silly.

I haven't even heard it yet. I gotta go find it. Anyone know what bitrate it's at?
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

It's available on iTunes as an "iTunes Plus" download, meaning that it's double the quality of normal iTunes downloads and is DRM free. It's encoded as a 256 kbps AAC file for 99 cents.
