Ever notice that these two songs have the exact same drum pattern? Check it out. Its clear Prince must have had that drum track lying around and then used twice. And both songs sung by "Camille".

Love both songs.

All I know is about the quake.

You ever notice how the snare drum in almost all Prince's songs hit on the 2 and 4? I think Prince is onto something here...

I love both songs but what really stinks is that I just got a new car and want something Prince related for my plates and both songs have 2 many letters

I think it was more about P just digging the beat and he wanted a ceratin continuity flowing through this Camille album. Pity he didn't release Camille. I haven't heard a weak track that was tied to that concept. Shockadelica is one of my all time favorite cuts by P. The song is bangin'. Period. And to think he got it from the title of a Jesse Johnson album.

Back in the day the word was that Jesse stole it from Prince. I can't recall which was released first - Prince's "Shockadelica" or Jesse's album of the same name.

Nah, P thought it was such a great title but Jesse didn't have a song called that so he came out with the song. Jesse had already released the album before P came out with the song.

there's 1 xtra beat n shockadelica. but tha camille thing iz cazi

They're both great...
Shockadelica is such a great song. It's def in my top 5 Prince songs of all time.
I was hoping and praying he would play it at one of the concerts last year
Love it love it love it

Prince's shockadelica actually aired first, on the radio, before Jesse's album came out.

But that was just Prince being a prick making out it was his title. He knew Jesse had already called his album Shockadelica.
