What you think of this track? I dont know why it reminds me of Electric Chair but it rocks

Nice and nasty.

Great song. Very funky. Should have been a single (and as I recall, it was planned as a single at the time. I believe there was a blurb in Billboard magazine that indicated the follow-up singles to Gold were going to be 319 and Shy, but obviously that never materialized.)

I like it

Love it!

Always make me shake my

It's funny say that, I remember in 1994/5 there was some thing about it being from the Batman sessions, I remember reading Cat had said she had heard it in 1989 or something. Bunk obviously, I guess it's the synth horns, they sound like Partyman and that era.

I think it could have done without We March (wich I kind of like), the interludes and Shy was kind of boring to me but I loved it when I first heard it; not so much now. Nice B-Side tunes. Funny I really hated Endorphinemachine too however now I LOOVE that song. And "The Most Beautiful..." should have been kept as it's original version.

"319, please."

first heard it on show girls

can only listen to it every once in a while

I've always thought that it sounded like it came from the 1989 sessions, especially with the efx on the guitar. Could've easily fit into the Batman soundtrack. Personally I do think it was written in 1988/89 even though many say it was written later in the 90's.

fun song IMO

Me too. Everytime I hear it I think of that girl from Saved By The Bell licking that stripper pole! Nasty/Naughty/Funky!

This song gets me going. So funky.

I got a good shot
Put your leg on the cha-ir
You know you're too hot
When you play with your hair

As a bonus, my address was 319 Huntington my freshman year (2006) when I bought the album.

Isn't it thoughts?

I've always though the same thing; always felt it sounded like the odd one out.

It's more than the synths. It's that big wet snare and dated (even then) high hat sample.

The other give-away that places it squarely in the Batman era, is that whispered moment "Have U ever kissed another woman on the dance floor?". Straight away that took me to the Joker's "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

Some may think it's a long bow, but all the pieces fit for me. Everything about that track screams 1989. Even P's vocal.

I'm convinced it was pulled from the vault.

In all seriousness, has anyone woken up in the night and the time has been exactly 3.19am?
Or glanced at their watch, clock absentmindely in the day and it's been 3.19...or sent a text to someone and turns out it was sent at 3.19 when reflecting afterwards?

These things have happened to me for at least 5 years and I don't even care that much for the song...

Any psychics or occultists out there?...please advise.

peace

Way too sexy! .. It makes me wanna get up & dance

319 with its Peach influenced groove, steps it up a notch and adds a little more funk to the rock. It’s like revisiting Dirty Mind in parts, and the whole private centrefold session paints a pretty picture in ones mind – dirty or otherwise. A cheeky little track that always raises… a smile. Hot, it is hot enough to put a glitch in the experience computer.

I love the album as well but I'm no fan of the song Gold itself - to cheesy anthem-like song. Could have been the end-tune to a Disney-movie.

You could also argue that the funky guitar licks share traits with those on The Future (and The Line for that matter) but then that is a trademark Prince sound anyway...

It's just a feeling. Absolutely no facts to back up my case. I'm more than happy to bow to your superior knowledge.

...But if it's all the same, I'll continue to live in ignorance.

(But I really think I'm right. Boy is this frustrating!)

Now just shake!

Every time I see a clock at 3:19, or a room number 319, or a dollar amount that contains 319, I hear "Purple Rain" in my head.

Everytime March 19th or 3/19 rolls around, I think of this song. That's a full week before my birthday too.
