It was recorded in 1982.

I think the "Hey Dez" line was added in 1983. Am I wrong?

I think it sounds more post-1999ish. Totally '83.

Oh my God, this is so funny! I just went on Google looking for lyrics to the song "Extralovable", and came up with this. Check it out:

I find it funny that this thread turns up during a Google search. Guess I wasn't expecting it to be on there, but it is.

Prince - Extra Lovable Lyrics

I wanna rap a little bit, oh!
Yeah!

Baby, U got somethin' that would make
A many hippie mighty proud
U got a dozen little sexy tricks
That doesn't seem that Miss U.S. would even allow
Never do U boast like the other girls
Who think they found a love 2 flaunt it (I never hear U brag)
And what I dig the most is that U keep it in your hand
Until I, until I, until I want it

CHORUS:
If ever honey U need someone 2 take a shower with girl
Call me up and scream
Extra lovable, honey don't U wanna, don't U wanna
Take a bath with me?

Listen..
Baby, U could turn my mama on
She's just as straight, just as straight as straight can be
Even though my daddy's gone
Come back just 2 haunt U, come back just 2 haunt U mystically
(Yes he will)
Baby, I know my rap is hard
Not as hard as what's behind door (dig it), door number pants
Baby, U're so sure, I'd love 2 see U dancin' naked
Ooh sugar, I wanna see U dance

CHORUS

Don't U wanna get, don't U wanna get off?

Baby, U got something that would make
A many hippie mighty proud (Then play it loud!)
U got a dozen little sexy tricks
That doesn't seem that Miss U.S., ooh, would even allow
Yeah, never do U boast like the other girls
Who think they found a love 2 flaunt it
(Oh, play with this love, yeah, let me tell ya)
What I dig the most is the way that U keep your sugar in your
hand
Till I want it

If ever honey U need someone 2 take a shower with mama (There it
is)
Call me up and scream
Extra lovable, honey don't U wanna, don't U wanna
Take a bath with me?

Ooh, sugar baby, U're so fine
What say U and me go 2 my place and make some time?
I'm not that popular yet, so if U want, I'm yours
"I don't want anyone 2 see what we're gonna do"
Think U better shut the door

(Ooh!)
Do U know what I'm talkin' about? (I say ooh ooh!)
If U know it, let me hear U say it baby (I say ooh!)
I can't hear U (Ooh ooh!)
Purple politicians, sing it (Ooh!)
Come on, 2 times, sing it (Ooh ooh!)
One time (Ooh!)
2 times (Ooh ooh!)
I wanna rap a little bit (One time, ooh!)

I said my daddy might be dead
But he'll know what is she (Anybody, 2 times, ooh ooh!)
Heaven knows I told him
She's bad as U could be (One time, ooh!)

Oh, yeah (2 times, say ooh ooh!)
(Ooh!)
Extra lovable, extra lovable
(U got it, 2 times, say ooh ooh!)
(Ooh!)
(2 times, say ooh ooh!)
Would anybody care 2 get naked?

Extra lovable {x3}

(Ooh!)
Extra lovable (Ooh ooh!)
Here we go, come on (Ooh!)
Extra lovable (2 times, ooh ooh!)
Extra lovable (Ooh!)
Extra lovable (2 times, ooh ooh!)
Extra lovable (One time, say ooh!)
Everybody (Ooh ooh!) (Extra lovable)
Lisa (Ooh!) (Can U feel it, baby?)
Bobby Z, say it (Ooh ooh!) (U got 2 say it loud)
Doctor (Ooh!)
Hey Dez, don't U like my band? (Ooh ooh!) (Gotta, gotta say it
loud)
Everybody, Brownmark say (Ooh!) (Everybody else sing it)
Brownmark, Brownmark say (Ooh ooh!) (Extra lovable)
I can't hear U, say (Ooh!)

This ain't just about your body, baby
It's about your mind (Ooh ooh!)
Come on and take the drop, baby
And spare some time (Ooh!)

I'm on the verge of rape
I don't think U heard me (Ooh ooh!)
I'm on the verge of rape
I'm on the..

I'm sorry, but I'm just gonna have 2 rape U
Now are U going 2 get into the tub or do I have 2 drag U?
Don't make me drag U
I can be very cruel
Yeah!

If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do (Huh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do (Huh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do (Oh, oh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do (Ooh!)
If U don't stop the groove (Ooh ooh!)
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do
(That's right) (Ooh ooh ooh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do
(Wait a minute) (Ooh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do (Ooh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do {fade out}
(Break Wendy, huh!) (Ooh!) (Huh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do

I really like this song but the rape references are a bit unnecessary

thekidsgirl said:

AGREED EVEN THROUGH I HAVENT HEARD THE SONG NOR DO I WANT TO HEAR IT.

Hush up Ann! The song is HOT

Glad to see so many people like this tune!

Don't take the rape references too seriously, we all know that P can get a little carried away sometimes. Plus, I'm sure the line was improvised, which to me adds an nice extra bit of emotion.

TBeatty716 said:

yeah p got carried away is damn right. he done went to damn far. but he can stay but that song has gots to go.

ALRIGHT... WE GET IT...

The song still rocks

CalhounSq said:

well good.

blackguitaristz said:

I wish people would stop making ANY rape references to LCD, it's just not there

Tiffypoo2004 said:

Extra Lovable would have been a great choice for the Darling Nikki scene...slow it up maybe? Or have him perform it after she runs out, right after he smashes her with Darling Nikki.

CalhounSq said:

So true. All Prince was doing was laying some mad pipe on old gally. No rape in that.

NeoSoulScribe said:

Thank you...

CalhounSq said:

Like I tell my friends: Every now and then you have to beat the pussy up so the next day around about 2pm she's gonna remember you were there.

CalhounSq said:

yeah i didnt think it was. people just cant get their facts straight sometimes.

NeoSoulScribe said:

ROFLMFAO!!! TRUE DAT!!!

NeoSoulScribe said:

who in the hell is gally??

Tiffypoo2004 said:

Prince's 1st wife back in 1981.




Just kiddin!

Gally is an extension of the word Gal.

Tiffypoo2004 said:

Art is about exploring ideas, it's not like he's promoting rape, it's just exploring the extremities of lust.

TBeatty716 said:

Agreed. The rape reference doesn't bother me, because I feel like it's just Prince being Prince. We all know that back then he wrote some pretty suggestive lyrics, and the rape reference is just another one of them.

NeoSoulScribe said:

@ "mad pipe."

MetroArea said:

Exactly!

psychodelicide said:

well it sounded like gal was hurtin when p was laying "mad pipe" on her. what u think??
