Due 2 the many posts about folks worrying about "Discojellyfish" not being released...

It is simply an extended instrumental version of "Chocolate Box".

We don't know if it'll be a B-Side, or if "Chocolate Box" may in fact go into an extended jam at some point...

Just sayin'.

OK?

mmm sure thing buddy

I'd rather call it an instrumental mix of Chocolate Box and Another Like Me. Maybe it has some more elements of other tracks from the album we simply don't know yet. It could be something like what 2 Whom It May Concern was for Love Symbol.

Cuddles said:

OK. So when did U lose your hearing, because it's the same backing tracks.

yes, it has elements of chocolate box..


but we all know chocolate box isn't gonna have that guitar solo, or that key solo..


so yeah, disco isn't the same if you ask me

Oh I hear that, 4 sure.

I'm still hoping that the layered vocal intro on "Chocolate Box" isn't the chorus.

i bet he's gonna give discojellyfish free as an mp3 that opening week.


just a hunch

it's what Brand New Orleans is to S.S.T.

maybe 'discojellyfish' will be offered as a download on the site as a digital b-side to 'chocolate box', or for all we know, it could be a hidden bonus track on one of the CDs (doubtful, but hey).

Thst would be cool.
Although, I think it would be really cool if P did the long jam songs like in the old days.
You know Wanna Be Your Lover, Controversey, etc. Album versions. No edits.
Save that for the "singles/radio versions".

Milty said:

EXACTLY!

I'm surprised people don't know this. It was very clear the moment I heard Discojellyfish. it's just Chocolate box reworked with some solos.....

larksanders said:

Well that's obvious, but there's no indication that Disco Jellyfish as is (with all those nifty sounds and solos) will appear on the album. I agree that it's possible its an extended jam at the end of Chocolate Box, but we don't know that for sure at this point.

Disco Jellyfish is just a jam derived from Chocalate Box. This is not the instrumental track of the latter.

sound slike you know...

Papaj said:

OK then! Nice reiteration of what I said.

i'm still hopeful that it's a bonus track etc.

doesn't the official press release state that this song was first
a demo, which name inspired the web designer and then once prince
saw the "disco jellyfish" they'd put on the site design, he went
back and fleshed the song out more.

doesn't sound like it's just a chocolate box instrumental/remix
to me.

although, fcuz, i've got ears to hear and it does sound like it's
simply a continuation of chocolate box. kind of like the second
part of thieves in the temple or i wish u heaven parts two & three.

the press release also says it will be on the album, yet the ones
that have seen the website said the song was not on the album.

overall confusion i would say. we'll see on march 24th. besides,
most of us already have the mp3 file of the song anway.

Do we not all have an Mp3 copy?


?

I see it as "Alphabet St." and "This Is Not Music, This Is A Trip"

available for download on 24th.

The only way one could possibly improve the Disney Channel pop lyrics of Chocolate Box is to strip it down to the music and hope for the best. Unfortunately, the music sounds as if it was prepared for an upcoming Super Marios Brothers release. It's redundant, uninspired and throwaway. Prince is nothing if not a capable guitar player so of course the solo is fine but it's not interesting enough to save the prodding predictable video game music it's locked within.

I was thinking the same thing !

Wall said:

All of that from a 45 second sample..... You people are funny. Since the cup is half empty maybe you should finish drinking somewhere else, no?

Wall said:

I'm still kind of horrified of the possibility that the layered vocal intro is, in fact, the chorus.

larksanders said:

Wait. In Wall's defense, there is a refference 2 both the sample (lyrics) and "Discojellyfish" (music)... and U know what? He/she has a right 2 their opinion, and according 2 their taste.

Actually, Prince himself likely agrees with saying this is a "throwaway", because it likely is.

As far as the finished "Chocolate Box" goes... it is obviously intended as a Pop lead-off single, because it's been confirmed that it IS.

I just don't want that vocal intro 2 be the chorus.

If it's just the intro, fine. If there's some funky moments in the song, great. I'll judge it when I hear it.

Don't blast Wall 4 expressing his opinion of what he's heard so far. Everyone should have that right.
