I loving the PFunk track, it's got to be one of the best non-album tracks Prince has ever done agree ?

It sounded like a Gold Experience throwaway to me when I used to listen to it. On the surface a bit flashy but really just rather rambling and meh.

I can't even remember what the tune sounds like now even though I've heard it dozens of times.

I like it a lot, but i dont think it is one of the best non album tracks.....close, but not quite.

I love this track as well. I generally hit repeat when I hear it so I can soak in the funk for a bit longer.

Hot track that goes on forever it seems ...

nothing wrong with a 7 minute funk track. It beats the whole Planet Earth album.

One of the baddest, most ferocious tracks for sure.

Woulda thought it came right off the back of the Black Album.

It's just INSANE, hardcore funk that just blows me away at all times.

I adore the attitude he's got on and the otherworldly vibes and breakdowns.

The guitar....THE GUITAR!!

1,001 posts! omg i thought i couldnt achieve this and it was impossible. Anyways,carry on

i don't like the chipmonk singing but it's a cool track. i'd like 2 hear it live. the fan reaction would be interesting

Who is the girl, that's gonna tell the story her way...
& what is the story ....the story that begins in a school yard

i love it!

Although it was (probably) an old track.... I think it's one of the best things he's released in the 00's.

Really awesome track. Great bass, guitars, and I love the crazy outro.

i didn't like it when it first came out, but i just gave it a blast and i'll tell you what!..."it's brilliant"...it just works, no irksome embarrassing moments like his recent ramblings.
Im so ready for new tracks.....
Ooh!..and in answer to your question.."VERY FUNKING"

It's better than every track on planet earth, 3121 and musicology. Ok maybe the song 3121 is as good but prefered the live version. I would love to hear this live!!!

I listened to it on headphones the other day and heard about a million little subtleties I had never picked up before. A totally killin track. And I love any song (like 3121 or Face Down) where he barks off the instrument and then it plays. "Play that keyboard!"

I love the outro, but the rest of this song is boring..

Zaza how you been my friend? Hope all is well!

I think this is crazy talk. I'm just as tough on Prince as anyone out there and I think this song is utterly fantastic.

Pseudo - Camille voice track. Great instrumentation. Funky vibe.

What's not to like?

I'll grant you it's not the most original song to come down the road, but it's still jamming. Love this song!

Same goes for you as Zaza!!! Go break that out and give it another listen!

Gold Experience throwaway? You guyses is killing me on this one.

I loved the track when I played it though he was dissing some of his fans.

I love it....the spontaneity shows and adds good qualities.

Thoroughly mediocre, IMO. I didn't understand the positive reaction to it then or now. Sorry.

Drop it now
Gonna stop it now
Gonna git it now

Here he comes again
He’s gonna try to ruin my day
Never had a reason to dog me out
Di’n’t never make ‘em do what they say

Nine times outta ten
Ask ‘im if he did he say no
I’ll never be a turncoat
Never be the one
To sell your name at the grocery store

You come around
Funny stuff be goin’ down
Ask him how it happened
Yo he don’t know

But I don’t care what people may say
I ain’t gon’ let it ruin my day
The best remedie for a basket full of lies
Is funk

Ain’t nothin’ like funky music
...
Got to gimme some of that music

Here she comes again
She got to tell the story her way
Once she’s caught a guy
That's doin’ somethin’ she don’t wanna
Takin’ money when the crime don’t pay

Every now and then
You’ll do somethin’ ... they said
One man’s justice is another man’s fear
Don’t you wish that you could sleep in my bed?

The only reason to say my name is to get your 15 secs of fame
Nobody’s even sure what you do

But I don’t care what people may say
I ain’t gon’ let it ruin my day
The best remedie for a basket full of lies is funk

There’s nothin’ like funky music
Let the music play
I’m crazy 4 Cocoa Rock

Uh

Well, it might not be The Grand Progression
But it sure is funky
Right on
Funky music (Ha ha)
Funky music
Funky music
like dat keyboard, easy on the keys and easy on the beat)
Right On
Guitar man (Ain’t nothing like funky music)
U can do more than that c’mon c’mon (wanna give U some of this music)
Mouth guitar, Mouth guitar

How you gonna cap and be gone?
I hate to let you know but it's on
You might not like the taste
But I’m still gon’ stick your face in this funk (stick yo face in it)

Gossip again?
Ho. Hum.
Listen to my drum

Digital music disappears in the daytime

When I 1st heard
yo face
Listen to my bass

Time will tell
We are
Listen to my guitar

(Chorus)We don’t care what people may say
We ain’t gon’ let it ruin our day
The best remedy for a big, fat punk is funk

Ain’t nothin’ like funky music
Turn the music up

Are you talkin’ to me?
All right
Somebody call 9-1-1
Y’all trippin’

Look here, Weavalicious
C’mere…let me talk to you
You and your boyfriend
Lemme tell you somethin’ right now
You run up on me again
With words or otherwise
And I’mma knock both you punks out

Okay takeoff
Where da ambulance?

There you have it, world
That is passing away
We don’t care where you go
But you gotta get out o’ here
Okay?

Cancer, chronic fatigue, ugly or just plain po’
I love all y’all
Don’t you ever mess with me no mo’
Ho What time is it?
All right then
That’s it, y’all
I’m out like the Wolves in the first
But we gonna get it together though
Pookie! The limo warm?
A’ight, Cool
Peace y’all
Stay funky

The best rememdy for a basket full of lies is in fact front page of a National Newspaper, articles on major websites, and then a phone call from the boss of AEG asking what it will take to "Stop this shit going any further"

PFU indeed

F.U.N.K. is exactly that, a funk album. From my point of view it does not "beat" the whole Planet Earth album ... LoL

Actually, this is one of my favs from the last few years. I was not in a Prince phase (I duck in and out) when I stumbled on this track via iTunes. If he writes this well when he is pissed, maybe I should swing by his pad and tip over his trash cans every once and awhile.

great tune. I LOVE this part:

But we gonna get it together though
