Hello!

I found some songs by Prince.
Can you tell me if they are in fact real songs by him, which year they are from and the story behind them?

I've seen most of them been discussed here before, I just want to be sure;)

Broken
Electric Intercourse
Lisa
Moments
Dance With Devil
Wonderful Ass
I Miss U

Thank U

I know all but one (Moments). Short descriptions and lyrics can be found on http://www.dtt-lyrics.com.../home.html

Broken
This song was an early attempt by Prince to write a 1950s-style blues-based rock number, predating "Jack U Off" on Controversy and later "rockabilly" efforts. Even though the song sounds like a spontaneous live recording with his band, probably recorded by Prince on his own. A bluesy piano opening is followed by Prince's a cappella vocal intro before the song gets underway. The arrangement emphasizes an electric piano and a fast, fluid bassline. Sometimes called "Broken, Lonely And Crying," it was occasionally played on the Dirty Mind club tour the spring of 1981.

Electric Intercourse
Intended for Purple Rain, this song was taped during the benefit concert for the Minnesota Dance Theatre company at First Avenue, August 3rd 1983. It's a simple ballad with an electric piano to the fore. Prince sings of the sexual electricity that exists between him and his lover. No known studio recording is in circulation.

Lisa
Although written alongside the Dirty Mind material, this track instead points toward 1999 with its synth-dominated texture and use of a simple drum machine, creating a hypnotic feel. Written tongue-in-cheek about new band member Lisa Coleman, the lyrics state how Prince knows Lisa is nasty and how he plans to take her away from her current man.

Moments

I never heard it. Do you maybe mean Visions?

Dance With Devil
Intended for Batman, this dark eerie track utilizes a drum machine, piano, synth, and the voice of The Joker. The song is based on the scene where The Joker holds Vicki Vale hostage in Gotham's bell tower. Prince warns to be cautious of the devil's tricks. Some lyrics can be seen in the liner notes of the soundtrack.

Wonderful Ass
Dating back to 1983, this funky pop effort was updated in 1986 using synth, rhythm guitar and a loud dominating drum machine. It's about a girl's ass making up for her lack of understanding Prince's quirky ways. Wendy and Lisa updated Prince's original and at one point chant "The Revolution will be heard!"

I Miss U
An acoustic demo from 1979 about how much Prince misses his woman, the ocean, the summer breeze, the blue skies, and, oddly enough, "those big old fancy cars." It's one of 20 songs written for the Prince album.

OK. Thank U

Moments is an instrumental and it doesn't sound like a Prince song really.
Does anyone else know about this?
