The capitalized "FU"'s important in Prince's new diss track, "PFUnk." Remember last week when the Purple one was suing fan sites for using his likeness? Well, those PFans banded together as "Prince Fans United," claiming First Amendment rights. Looks like they won't go down for good without a good fight, which is obviously pissing off His Royal Badness. As of now, it's unclear if Prince will continue with the legal proceedings. Actually, looks like he's spending more time sucking helium in the studio than preparing his case. You can hear the new P-Funk-style (duh) track over at Prince Fams United. Pun duly noted.
You'd also do well to note some of the better lines: "There you have it world, that is passing away" (whaa?), "I love all y'all, but don't you ever mess with me no more," "The only reason you say my name is to get your fifteen seconds of fame, nobody's even sure what you do," and "The best remedy for a basket full of lies is funk." Just like mom used to say. At one point he riffs on about digital music disappearing in a day ... was he somehow behind the OiNK bust? In any case, ridiculousness aside, the tune is pretty great, so hopefully it sticks around longer than a blink. If not, no worries ... it won't ruin our day.
