I hate to ask such a lame question, particularly one I should know the answer to (or at least be able to Google easily - which I tried, and failed). What album was "SEX" on? When you enter SEX and PRINCE into a search engine, you get about a zillion hits, lol. But how was "Sex" released, and in what year? (...had to have been the early 80's). I don't seem to remember it was on an album actually, so it must have been a single release. But I heard it last night, and I was reminded that this song used to be my jam! It was on a mixtape I used to play on my late night drives between Los Angeles and Las Vegas back in the day (...ahh, the memories). So I'm trying to find it now in my catalog, and I can't locate it. I thought it was on The Black Album, but I didn't see it there. Where can "SEX" be found? (...I know, I know, lol, pun intended).

So my name is Endorphin
I can make U happy, U see
I come from Planet Venus and I'll take U there
U can be my ecstasy
The 80's are over and the time has come
4 a new proclamation of love and fun
Monogamy and trust is what I'm talkin' 'bout
I'll give up all my lovers if U can make me shout

Oh, S is 4 scandalous
E is 4 exciting
X is 4 adults-only
Let's do something frightening

Sex, sex
Can't stop the feelin' baby, nobody should
Sex, sex
Anything this dangerous has 2 be good

Now I'm the type of alien
Who knows just what he wants
But U're the type who plays in the trees
U got it maybe that's why U flaunt
Oh, I'll climb a thousand trees if I have 2
But baby I'm warning U
One of us is gonna end up on our knees

Sex, sex
Just can't stop the feeling baby, nobody should
Sex, sex
Anything this dangerous has 2 be good, good, good

Just has 2 be
Sex, sex

(Get up) On the chair baby
Let me dance under your skirt
(Get up) (Everybody on the dance floor now)
C'mon now
(Get up) Get up on the table now
Let me show U how 2 flirt
(Get up) (Ooh feels good, ooh feels good)
Ahh, ooh
I like it baby, when U let me touch U there
I like it girl, I knew U weren't wearin' any underwear (Get up)
Baby, is it wrong that I want U so?
I want U baby
I want U now
S. E. X.

Sex, sex
Can't stop the feeling baby, nobody should
Sex, sex
Anything this dangerous has 2 be good, good, good
Just has 2 be good

Fellas, all the boys that know about the good thing say, "Yeah yeah!"
And all the girls with no underwear on say, "Yes!" (Yes)
We gettin' funky 2night
Sex
Yo! Peep this out
Fellas, I want everybody saying it on the one, come on
S.E.X.
Say it (S.E.X.)
Come on, say S.E.X, say it (S.E.X.)
Keep that going fellas, come on (S.E.X.)
Yeah (S.E.X.)
Come on (S.E.X.)
Ladies back'em up one time (S.E.X.)
(S.E.X.) Is the best, (S.E.X.) is the best, come on
(S.E.X.) (Is the best) (S.E.X.) (Is the best)

One lover - sex
I don't think U heard me
One lover - sex
Yeah
2 lovers - death
Wit it?
2 lovers - death

So my name is Endorphin
I can make U happy, U see
I come from Planet Venus and I'll take U there
And U can be my ecstasy
Ooh sex (La la la la...) {x2}
Ooh sex, sex (La la la la...)
Ooh sex (La la la la...)

Now's the time 4 new proclamation of love and fun
U can be nasty with only one love, but only one
Ooh sex

fuc*** awesome song....

Damn, I'mplaying that for the ol' man when he walks through the door from work.

djdaffy1227 said:

The version I have on the CD is 7 minutes 2 seconds. Is it the same on your 12" vinyl?

Yes it is. Same version

Anyone remember the version of "sex" by Lois L.
Prince wrote two tracks of this album. Another protege LP back in 1993.
And yes, they are twins!

Sorry - they later becamce lois Lane

I still need to get this one.

Found this in a 2nd hand store years ago....

This is a great CD single. Highly recommended.

tc012009 said:

yes, i'm agree! u must have this maxi cd in ur collection!

I think that is one of his BEST cd's ever!

Damn! I knew I should've picked that up

I prefer the 9-Track CD for the Partyman remixes (one mix is only available on this CD), but there are 3 different CD singles that were released:

USA (and Germany) 5 Track CD Single

1 The Crime - Feat. Kim Basinger
2 The Passion - Feat. Kim Basinger
3 The Rapture - Feat. Kim Basinger
4 Sex
5 When 2 R In Love

Japanese 9 Track Remix CD Single

1 The Crime
2 The Passion
3 The Rapture
4 Sex
5 When 2 R In Love
6 The Purple Party Mix
7 Partyman Music Mix
8 Partyman - The Video Mix
9 Feel U Up - Short Stroke

You can get both versions here, but the Japanese CD is sold out for now:
http://www.mattscdsingles...e_361.html

Also the US version available here:
http://www.amazon.com/Sca...B000002KWN

The Lois L version of Sex is an very good, updated mix by Prince with the twins' vocals added.

Really? I haven't listened to them in ages, but I always thought everything on the Japanese 9-trk CD was available elsewhere on CD (Partyman CD singles).

I had the US version, but also bought the 9-trk Japanese EP when they were re-issued in slimline cases in the, uhm, mid-90s I think.

All those Partyman mixes are on the US 12" vinyl, I'm sure they are on the CD single too.

Here's the 9-Track Japanese CD with an hour to go:

The guitar solo on "The Passion" needs its own appriciation thread!!!
My big toe shoots up out of my boot every time I hear it!

tricky2 said:

Nobody? - I still have this CD.

tricky2 said:

Yup. I have that too. The Sex re-do is very good and worth finding since it's a Prince production. I think I picked up the Lois L CD for around 2 bucks used.

You can find sex on Craigslist. But use that site only as a last resort.

A last resort for certain.

I was about to say what kind of question is this
