Prince musical oddities... I'm not certain why I'm so fascinated by Prince's musical oddities but I've always been somewhat intrigued in the past when Prince would whip out a song out of nowhere and then leave it behind never to be heard of again. Case in point, "Everybody Dance" played sparingly during the Dirty Mind tour and "Drawers Burnin'" played at his 27th birthday performance. I mean heck, I rarely hear more recent bootlegs revisting these tunes anymore. It's almost as if they've slipped away into the ether.
What if any quirky tunes are on your radar? A robin sings a masterpiece that lives and dies unheard... | |

there have been quite a few in later years, like "black muse", "when she comes",
official release really qualify as these oddities that you were talking about.

I heard "Black Muse" and "Welcome 2 America" one time in concert and then never heard them again... "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Electric Intercourse. And there is the Lovesexy tour version of If I Had a Harem. The outtake is pretty crap and i can see why it was never released, but the bluesy take on it in concert deserved a lot more, but was never revisited as far as I can tell. | |

What about "Turn Me Lose"? Actually go and play it on the Tonight Show and Then totally abandon the song. That one confuses me. | |

Motherless Child and Come and Dance With Me (with those lameass Fonky Baldheads) during the Rave era. I saw him perform those songs live several times. Then they disappeared. Thank god. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

Electric Man is actually a cover of a B.B. King song. (Believe it or not!) | |
