Is this a Prince song? Do you mean "Funk Radio"

"If you're radio is not on the Funk, Your radio ain't on..." etc etc?
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

it may be that will have to have another listen in a minute. Is that verses all distorted like a weird radio then it unravells for the chorus?

I heard it last night as a matter of fact! At first I was like WTF but as it went on I actually liked. It is an interesting little ditty.

is this the song that was previewed back on the love4oneanother site in 1999?

it was called "funk radio"

and the snippet had the lyrics

"if your radio is not on the funk
your radio ain't on
if it don't make you move or shake your rump
it might as well be gone
gone gone gone"


is that the one?

if so, where are you hearing it? i'm not asking for a copy but it would
be very interesting if the full version of this song is floating around
in cyberspace since the only thing that ever came from prince's camp is
the 20 or 30 second snippet. it hasn't been known to circulate untill
this day in fact.

eek
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I'd LOVE to hear this in its entirety. The chorus has been in my head for about ten years ...

But you are correct, the current circulating version I have heard is not complete but rather a 'looping' of the original 1998 sample.
