It wasn't.

Is an o.k. song.

Electric Intercourse is performed live at August 3rd 1983, First Avenue Minneapolis
From this concert three tracks ended on the Purple Rain album:
I Would Die 4 U, Baby I'm A Star and Purple Rain (those three tracks were reworked / edited in the studio)
Electric Intercourse is also available from the afternoon rehearsals August 3rd 1983,
But there’s no studio-version.

It was supposed to be on the Purple Rain album, but was replaced by “The Beautiful Ones”.

don't leave me hanging... ??

Do not try to over analize songs. Is there any use to knowing who that song is about? Maybe it is abolut no one in particular. I mean, you can write songs without having a certain person in mind....

Then again, some times it is fun to know, especially when lyrics are murky. I remember being puzzeled about the Crystal Ball lyrics, back in the time I still wanted to know everything.
The description of those lyrics (as lifted from an Uptown article) had Susan Rogers explaining the "My baby draws pictures of sex" reference was about Susan Melvoin drawing a sexual explicit mural in either Prince's house or studio (I tend to forget facts).

Then again, other times it is fun to let your own mind wander and make up pictures on your own.

In the 20 years i've been a fan i've never heard this song

I am only familiar with a small number of the rare tracks but I have had Electric Intercourse knocking around for a couple of years... it's an amazing track. Every time I hear it it sends shivers down my spine..... it's awesome, IMO!

Shivers, chills, throbs...this song is absolutely supernatural.

I love this song. On one version that I have Wendy misses her cue on the chorus, Prince says "Wake up Wendy". It's kind of funny but I was embarrased for her. I totally agree, this song and EXTRALOVEABLE are really great. DATA BANK I enjoy also. PURPLE MUSIC, another fave. I can go on forever about unreleased tracks.

I have heard OF this song but I have never actually heard the song.

This kind of stuff is what makes being a Prince fan so much fun!

All this talk of Electric Intercourse, I had to come home and put it on.

Musically, it's an amazing song but I can't quite put my finger on why....?

The minor chord(?) at the end of each phrase of the verse?
The way Prince sings it... with such feeling?
Just those 2 notes that pop up towards the end of the verses

It's doing it for me right now!

RocknRollisalive said:

That does it for me. Something about those two notes....they touch me in a special place.
