Pretty good. I give it like an 8 out of 10. I hope it's part of an album!

The only thing I don't like is the nasal sound of his vocal. At 2:40 he finally sings in his natural register, and it lasts about 20 seconds. More of that would be great.

Hot white girl blow jobs! Fuck yeah!

Pretty white girls.

So what's pretty black girls or pretty hispanic girls called?

This is headed in an off-topic (and likely bad) direction.

Let's get back to the song folks.

Rock, organic sound = good. Teenage boy vocals = not so much. Overall = pretty good.

I thinks its awful... dissapointed... AGAIN

This is Prince having fun rockin out....catchy lyrics driving drums...

Has a garage band sound yet a 60's rock feel to it some how...

diggin it. Much Better than "Guitar" imo.

i like the live sound of it and i think this is the way to go for prince...but just sounds like another throwaway song though...sounds like he is lacking a bit of creativity....but as i said...i like the real sound of it..

If anyone wants to play it, the chords I'm hearing are:

VERSE

B-B-B-B

B-B-A-B

CHORUS

E-A-B

Listen to this through a proper sound system (even though it's not lossless).

Bart is LOVING this, and we may soon see Bart's positive commentary on this song, assuming he listened to it through a proper sound system.

I may also venture even further with this:

Prince may have well played all parts on this.

My take on this?

Prince NAILED it hard. I enjoy all musical sides of Prince. N.E.W.S. is amazing, and I'm musically enriched and qualified.

This is Prince Punk. This is when he gets raw... rocking with a neverending energy that all should experience, but tragically, few do.

So, needless to say... I'm diggin' it Big Time.

I just need to hear the lossless version, along with a collection of songs (or pieces), formerly known as an "album"... preferably in physical format, either CD or vinyl.

That's all.

Holy moley, maybe Prince read the thread about how the school DJ couldn't get Prince played on his punk rock radio show and said, "Huh! I'll show 'em what punk is all about!"

LOL, doubtful but you're right - this is punk and that guy ought to play the bejeezus out of this on his radio station.

Starts with a B flat on the first bar, though!

Anyone fancy tabbing the riff?

You mean the one after the second chorus?

Sounds quite simple, really.

D - D# - A - D# (repeated)

I don't have a guitar near me at the moment, so I'm doing this by ear, but I'm quite certain it's that.

The prettiest and easiest way to play the riff is probably playing the D and the D# on the G-string and the A on the H-string.

What - are you a professionally recorded musician or something? Oh, wait - you are!

Everybody buy this album! https://itunes.apple.com/...d590965926

I would have figured out the Bb sooner or later, LOL. Well, maybe.

They posted the video at NY Magazine...

Huffingtonpost is posting it, so I expect it to go big. I smell hit on this one.

A really fun song, lyrics goofy like most fun pop/punk. Certainly better than much on Green Day's new 3 album set.

Doesn't rock as hard as it could but it is a very decent song. Certainly betta than shitar.

Listen to it a few times really loud. Sticks in the ear.

Billboard top ten, I'd bet.

This might be a song that will erupt in concert. I hope. Studio it sounds a bit like "I Like it There," but this band has nowhere near the power - the drumming power alone is not in the same zip code. Clearly, that's what P wants - dude knows drums - this is just one person's view.

Ok - so who's new single is better Prince or Justin?

My vote - no contest

Catchy song, but I think he could have left it to stand on its own rather than put the ribbons and bows on at the end. Kiss keeps it simple and this song should be a minute shorter. The video is ok, but I don't know that the lyrics are good enough for such scrutiny!

No song with that kind of melody is going to have change-the-world lyrics.

BUT, how can you not the line "We smash guitars and shatter glass"?!?!?!

Prince Made You a ‘Screwdriver’

• By Amanda Dobbins

Not the kind with alcohol (Oh, thank God, thought a million people who still haven't gotten over that one OJ-and-vodka-fueled night in college) — the kind with music. "Screwdriver" is the title of Prince's peppy new song, which is now available, complete with a half-lyric, half-live-performance video, on his website. New music + Billboard cover + surprise Minneapolis shows has to = new album, right? Sorry if we jinxed that.

there's a vote on at MSNBC about 'screwdriver'

go cast your vote for the man!

I don't mind the lyrics and think they're ok, but that's the only line I cringe at.

Oh no, got all European there for a minute!

Meant the B-String, of course...

I hate that line

But overall, the lyrics would be fine if they were not spotlighted like that.
