awesome song. And you're right, it's fun to listen to pretty exciting. It's really cool

xtc....

To this day I still don't care for it. I don't skip it-- then again I couldn't if I wanted to-- though.

Fabulous track, shoulda been a single, then we would've got the mixes.

And it so almost happened too.
Just prior to it's release, Prince was having second thoughts about having
Glam Slam as the second single. He'd been working on the remixes for Lovesexy
and thought that it would be more suited as the second release from the album.
Unfortunately things had kinda gone past the point of no return with Glam
Slam, and it was decided to release the single as planned rather than scrapping
it at the last minute. Strangely though, when it came time for releasing a
third single, Lovesexy had been put aside in favor of I Wish U Heaven, and
no more singles were released from the album. Unfortunately the single edit
and extended mix of Lovesexy still remain unreleased.

Another example of Prince picking the wrong single

"Lovesexy" is a much stronger song than the less-than-thrilling "Glam Slam".

DavidEye said:

He was still under Warners at the time. I'm sure they were pushing him to go with Glam Slam as opposed to Lovesexy.

They did not know how to promote this album.

Otherwise, the song is sheer perfection!

Fantasmamastic.

definitely within my top 20-30 fav Prince songs

Should be in mine too. I always forget it, though, for some reason. It's like the invisible track on the album and I'm always surprised when it comes.

It's one of the very best songs! Would have been way better as a single than i wish u heaven!

DavidEye said:

I like Glam Slam, but Prince's single choices just defies reason sometimes, Lovesexy is a stellar track, and that extended mix..... well, it's criminal it isn't out there

I like "Glam Slam" as an album track,but it's too boring to be a single,and not surprisingly,it bombed big time.Without question,the song "Lovesexy" would have fared better.It's a strong,powerful track.It even received some airplay on one of our local R&B stations.

yea it certainly is a song that benefits from loud volume, ..its grown on me over the years, i particularly enjoyed the lovesexy vhs tour when he performed this along with a few others that sounded terrific in a row.

great song...or album depending if u in Europe or not!

This feelin's so good in every single way
want it morning, noon and nite of every day...

I this track.


In fact, I was watching the Omnibus documentary the other day and - during the part where Femi's at the mixing desk - I was thinking how much I wish this had been released as a single. Imagine the video!

One of Prince's best title tracks.

'touch cheesy....but i like it.

This song is HOT! It's so fast and energetic.And you gotta love that little "skit" he does at the end with Cat,lol.That part is outrageous....

you got me drippin',drippin all over the floor,the floor
If I come back as a woman,I want a body like yours,like yours


classic

and if by chance I cannot have it,I can't say
but with it I know heaven's just a kiss away,kiss away

I thought Glam Slam was a single


I recall seein' the video so much on BET that I thought it was the single after Alphabet Street.

But then again, I'm no prince historian either. I'm sure someone will point out the truth.


But I love the song (Lovesexy) especially now more than ever....the line "heaves is just a kiss away" has helped me deal with the death of my mom last year.

Glam slam was a single. And the video is very good. Its just a performance video but the vibes the band have got are incredible. Evne the gameboyz are in it.


I too love the song "Lovesexy". i get goosebumps sometimes with that song. I always dance to it. I have to be careful, as if iam woalking down the street with my headphones and Iam playing it, i often start dancing.

Its a celebration of anything u like. Whatever it was in Prince's mind, it certainly comes across on the song. Very upbeat and smile inducing.

DavidEye said:

One of my favourite parts! And especially the section that starts:


"A-ll in life becomes easier...

comeonandtouchitIknowyouwillloveitbutthenIknowheaven'sabutterflykissaway..."



If we only get one song as dense, complicated, funky and bawdy as this one on the next album, I'll be a very happy man.

I wish he'd play this live.

Yeah.....classic stuff.....that track is so funky that you could fry an egg on it!! I also love glam slam tho'.....I'd be harded pressed to pick a favourite!!

This is definitely one of my all-time favourite Prince songs. As you say, it's so life-affirming and joy-inducing.

Anyone who dislikes this must be a right miserable b*****d.

this feeling's so good in every single way!


That's my favorite part too!

onenitealone said:

The production is amazing. It sounds so unique. The instrumentation. I love Prince's "full" sound over his stripped down sound. Which is why I prefer "lovesexy" over "sign of the times". Plus i do generally like Prince's happy songs.

we've had this discussion before,and this question always comes up...

near the end of the song,does he say...


you want me to swim in your love sea...dontcha baby?


or is he saying...

you want me to swivel in your love seat....dontcha baby?

Rhondab said:

You are correct."Glam Slam" was released as the second single (after "Alphabet St.").The video was really popular on BET,I saw it regularly."I Wish U Heaven" was released as the third and final single.Some of us think that the title track should have been a single.

DavidEye said:

Prince is really funny (and pervy) at the end of that track.

"sweet dreams"
