Isn't that that "One Mo Jam, One Mo Jam, One Mo Jam, for Prince and the Band"

song?

Is that not on any live releases or ahdio shows, because I'm sure I've heard it a few times.

Anyway, the two songs I've never heard, because I don't really have any boots or anything, but I've been really curious about is Neon Telephone and Electric Intercourse.

Courtesy of Dj7 at Housequake:

Prince and the Band

Like a rim-shot on a new Roots joint
My band is tight. Yea – anointed
Live in concert, au natural
Pass my tape go straight 2 jail
And another thing – Eye sing
Black and White hold hands
Start clappin’ when we enter
The jam packed dance
If U wanna just clap yo’ hands
Clap yo’ hands
Clap yo’ hands y’all
4 Prince and the Band


So happy y’all cause Eye finally got paid
Eye’m off the plantation Boo
Chillin’ in the shade
Of the Sun’s light
We got it right
Distribute your own
Make a million overnight
B4 the tax comes
Quick, buy some land
But don’t build nothin’
Just clap yo’ hands
Clap yo’ hands
Clap yo’ hands y’all
4 Prince and the Band


Record labels used 2 be a friend of mine
Now they’re just a monumental waste of time
Sell a million records
Make a dollar a pop
Still unrecouped when your band gets dropped
Got your own label but you’re givin’ ‘em half
Xpenses off the top
Who’s takin’ a bath?
7 years of primetime
Your soul and your name
Just 2 keep yourself a slave 2 that game
Whatever U can’t do alone is not worth the fame
They all get older but we still look the same
U can’t understand, y’all can’t understand
Just clap yo’ hands
Clap yo’ hands
Clap yo’ hands y’all
4 Prince and the Band


Like a policeman 2 a crime
Eye just can’t make up my mind
2 jam or not 2 jam
The Big Crowd Rocker, that’s who we am
Funky y’all – TRUTH be told
Primetime ain’t ready 4 us all
We bring the noise the best we can
Clap yo hands
Clap yo’ hands
Clap yo’ hands y’all
4 Prince and the Band

I think sometimes he changes up the lyrics that I italicized, as discussed on this Housequake thread. (And you can read all about my losing battle about what the real title of the song is! redface lol)
