Electric Intercourse

One of my favorite Prince songs. I read along time that Prince wrote this shortly after meeting Wendy's sister. I think this song has such a happy tone to it and I love the line "I feel some kind of sexual courage" That is such cool line. wink I think it is a very sweet song.

It isn't on any album since it remains unreleased on record, along with other Purple Rain-era material such as "Wednesday" and "Father's Song".

"Electric Intercourse" was allegedly inspired by Vanity. Interestingly, Prince can be heard mentioning her name just before he played this song during one rehearsal in preparation for that well-known gig at First Avenue in 1983.

Holy shit! All these years I thought it was "courage" too! Works either way, anyhow.

Don't feel bad...I thought
She's always in my hair:
Whenever I feel like not 2 great at all
Whenever I'm all alone
Even if I hit the wrong notes
She's always in my boat

was

Whenever I feel like not rated R
Whenever I'm all alone
Even if I hit the wrong note
She's always in my coat



sad

since I was little (7 or 8) I thought that was it...until today.

While we're on the subject of misunderstood lyrics I always thought International Lover went like this:

if 4 any reason theres some kind of calambression
I've an automatic knee drop down 2 a flymo

(seriously,I'm not kidding,I sang that for years lol)

when it was really:

if 4 any reason there's a drop in cabin pressure
I will automatically drop down 2 apply more.

lol lol lol

I wasn't too far off from that one. I always thought he said, until today...
"If for any reason there's a loss in calibration."
Cabin pressure makes more sense. That's probably what I would hear now. I was 13 then, compared to 33 (this sunday) now.

and to that I guess I was wrong to...I always thought he said

"She's always in my bed"
She's always there, telling me how much she really cares
She's always in my hair

One of my favorite songs, btw, if not the favorite song of his for me.

Electric Intercourse

I feel some kind of love 4 U
I don't know your name
This is the kind of love that takes 2
I want U and I'm not ashamed

Cuz baby, U shock my wild
With a sexual electricity extraordinaire
Come and take advantage and undress me
I don't even know U, I don't even care

I feel some kind of sexual courage
Tell me do U feel it 2?
Our bodies wanna be 2gether
Girl, I wanna be with U

Electric is my body, baby
I'll shock U with my lips
Darling, don't U know
Your Technicolor climax is at my fingertips?
Hear me, baby

Electric intercourse, electric intercourse (Wake up, Wendy!)
Don't U wanna?
Electric intercourse, electric intercourse
Don't U wanna make love, sweet love, my love?

Mash it

Electric is my body, baby
I'll shock U with my lips (Yes I will)
Darling, don't U know
Your technicolor climax is at my fingertips
Baby, no no, listen 2 me

Electric intercourse, electric intercourse
Don't U wanna?
(I say this)
Electric intercourse, electric intercourse
(I say the first intercourse, I say the first one)
Don't U wanna make love, sweet love, my love?

Yeah

Electric intercourse, electric intercourse
Don't U wanna?
Electric intercourse, electric intercourse
Don't U wanna make love, my love, sweet love, yeah?

Don't U wanna?
Electric intercourse
Don't U wanna make love, yeah?

I'm pretty sure it's "current"

get it? "Electric"? "Current"? get it? Why the hell would it be "courage"?
