"319" made it on the movie but not the soundtrack for some strange reason.

I think U're getting Showgirls confused with Striptease. Showgirls had Rippopgodazippa dn 319 in the movie but no sdtrk appearance. Striptease had If I was Your Girlfriend.

i already had them both on CD

there was no need to buy the album if you already had all the songs. GIRL 6 the song was on single.

Maybe Spike just liked those songs. Soundtrack songs aren't always brand new.
I thought it's a good mix of songs.

A bit off topic, but...I was watching Batman recently. The music scenes are directed horribly. They're lifeless--amazing since they feature Jack & Prince! I like the rest of the movie, but that's one failing of it that wouldn't have happened with the (god awful) 3rd & 4th movies' music-video-director directors.

** It had Nasty Girl on it so it's no gyp to me.**

Good call.

I really love this soundtrack. It's like a Prince mixtape compiled by Spike.













I remember hearing other Prince songs on the movie that didn't appear on the soundtrack, like "Housequake".

man, with everything prince had put out up to that point, to feel cheated because of a spike lee soundtrack compilation is really silly.

and keep in mind, not everything released with prince's name on it, intentionally or otherwise, is targeted toward the hardcore fans.

Girl 6 is better than it has any right to be, with his mix of well-picked classics, hard to find tracks and new songs (She Spoke 2 Me and Don't Talk top Strangers are great). It flows well and even the less-than-impressive title track isn't totally without merit.

Those who feel "cheated" are pushing it. It's the director's call -- Spike Lee had some songs in mind. If he had wanted a full album of new songs, I'm pretty sure Prince could have provided them. But it wasn't his call so it's foolish to feel "gypped".

Prince fans are among the most fortunate of fans as it is, with the vast catalog of released songs and unrivaled abondance of circulating outtakes plus the myriads of live recordings. At least, Prince can boast some of his fans can never get enough.

yeah, I mixed em up

Aerogram said:

Well, in MOST cases it's the director's call...but Spike and P had a previous relationship in which I'm pretty sure Spike coulda said "Yo P, peep this flick and tell me what songs you have that would go with the scenes."

Some people are never satisfied...

dawntreader said:

but DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS i didn't have.

dawntreader said:

Christopher said:

doctamario said:

Your favorite Stevie Wonder album?!?!! Wow! That's a pretty powerful (and incorrect at that!!; LOL, just kidding) statement, considering the quality of work the man released prior to it.

ALEX!!! Wassup????

I love all his music, but Jungle Fever just resonated with me.

"Count the Days" was new to me, plus I got "Nasty Girl" and " Screams of Passion" on cd

This is a little off topic but I tried to give a cd of my music to spike about a year ago in seattle. Knowing full well that he couldn't take the shit. Well, he came into this crowd saying "one autograph only" while I held out my press kit, he said "what's that?" I said it's a cd, he said "I can't take that!" I said "come on Spike I'm an Indian" then some white guys badgered him for a picture until he said "Ok one picture." My jaw dropped as I saw him doing this for white folks, then I looked at him and he was looking at me and laughing, then he motioned for me to give him the cd. Was very sweet, even though he probably threw it away. He got soul.

Damn, that is kinda funny. But you cant front the cat for taking UNSOLICITED SHIT! LOL! Imagine the law suit possibilities!

No, I wouldn't blame him if he never took it. On the other hand as a struggling musician, I have to do what I have to do and that is to try. The funny thing is, it was like he was trying to be fair to everyone and he saw someone was being left out, it was like a grown up making sure all the kids got candy.

mozfonky said:

I agree, dawg, ya gotta do what you gotta do...so I don't blame ya for tryin'!

I never bought it...no need to...I had most of the tracks anyway.

BobGeorge909 said:

I AGREE!

Eroticist said:

Coulda, shoulda... It's pointless, as he obviously used existing material, and you and I don't know why. We'll just have to assume that is what he wanted.

THAT'S what this topic is all about, right?
