Yeah a double album for Purple Rain would have been hot even back then not knowing the full extend of the music created for the movie including songs like Possessed and other I knew this was some top quality stuff hmmmm would U include songs outside of the 'movie'? | |

If Electric Intercourse were to be included on Purple Rain it would always be at the expense of The Beautiful Ones & I wouldn't be comfortable with that. 
It's a damn good song but let's face it The Beautiful Ones is one of his best songs - period.  love is god, god is love, girls and boys love god above | |

oi! tough choice but I think I'd leave the beautiful ones on the album probably only because that seems to be the way it should be but I LOVE LOVE LOVE electric intercourse and wish it woulda got some kind of release. I'd love for it to be release NOW but...I'm afriad he'd wreck it somehow. "not a fan"  yeah...ok | |

Leave perfection alone. The Beautiful Ones is exactly where it's supposed to be, though EI should have been released in some form or fashion. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Wasn't "Another Lonely Christmas" the B-side to "I Would Die 4 U"? I think "Baby I'm A Star" was the B-side to "Take Me With U". You're correct. Tough day yesterday (in the E.R. w/ the roommate for eight hours). I was short circuiting when I typed that. But yes..Take me With U was what I was thinking of. | |

What did playing Modernaire add to the movie, other than establishing there was another band? | |

Agreed, Jill singing Wednesday about the kid would of added depth. I guess its too late to change it now  My name is Naz!!! and I have a windmill where my brain is supposed to be.....

It would have been interesting to see Jill singing "Wednesday" in the film.Her character was under-developed but we could clearly see that she had a crush on The Kid.If the filmmakers had explored this a little more,there might have been a cool sub-plot. | |

What did playing Modernaire add to the movie, other than establishing there was another band? I'm saying both could have there place, Modernaire performance added to the Minneapolis scene and the 'other bands' of the club It was a short piece as a backdrop to the club scene, the Time couldn't have been on the stage and the Revolution couldn't have been on the stage during that scene Wednesday would have been placed right before the Take Me With U/God the Love theme | |

I agree, Watching Purple Rain it moves so quickly and we already know about the scenes removed but I think about what it would have added to have that scene with a 'protege' singer singing Wednesday I also thougth about songs from the Time and even the Glamorous Life that were probably considered for the movie Noon Rendezvous would have been cool for the bike ride that led to the barn probably showing Apollonia getting ready 4 her noon time date with the Kid And the music in the barn scene (which was supposed to be pretty exlicit) would be If the Kid Can't Make U Come | |

[Edited 6/2/09 15:34pm] [Edited 6/2/09 15:36pm] Never heard the studio version, really can't comment on it. The Beautiful Ones is one of the records that made Prince, so I can't imagine replacing it with anything else. | |

electric intercourse every single time  man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

I'm not entirely sure. From what I remember, the bigwig at WB asked prince to give him all the songs he had written. The ones most suitable were chosen for inclusion on the album. I'm not 100% sure on this but i'm sure I read this somewhere years ago. I can imagine that prince made concessions to get his film made. | |

the other thing about the Beautiful Ones, in association with the movie is that it deals with Prince's turmoil and control issues concerning Apollonia
Electric Intercourse would work in the film but not in that segment, not dramatic enough and it probably could have been place in a deleted scene with the kid and apples The Beautiful Ones also was written 2 Susannah, she was seeing someone else and Prince wrote this song 2 her to woe her away from the other guy One thing I like about a lot of the earlier songs, there is so much history involved Baby, baby, baby - what's it gonna be? Baby, baby, baby - is it him or is it me? Don't make me waste my time Don't make me lose my mind, baby Baby, baby, baby - can't U stay with me 2night? Oh baby, baby, baby - don't my kisses please U right? U were so hard 2 find The beautiful ones, they hurt U every time Paint a perfect picture Bring 2 life a vision in one's mind The beautiful ones always smash the picture Always, every time If I told U, baby, that I was in love with U Oh baby, baby, baby - if we got married, would that be cool? U make me so confused The beautiful ones U always seem 2 lose Baby, baby, baby Well, what's it gonna be, baby? Do U want him or do U want me? Cuz I want U! Said I want U! Tell me, baby, do U want me? I gotta know, I gotta know Do U want me? Baby, baby, baby - listen 2 me! I may not know where I'm going, baby! Looka here - I said I may not know what I need! One thing, one thing's 4 certain, baby I know what I want, yeah! And if it please U, baby, please U, baby I'll beg U down on my knees! I want U! Yeah, I want U! Baby, baby, baby, baby - I want U! Yes I do! © 1984 Controversy Music - ASCAP

Beautiful Ones is the most inmportant song in the movie. The whole film hinges on his performance of it. In my opinion its more important in the film than Purple Rain itself.

Electic Intercourse is a totally different direction compared to the Beautiful Ones, where he really doesn't talk about sex but mentions marriage(something that is supposed to really catch a womans attention-obviously in the movie it made Apollonia cry) E.I. is about wanting 2 have sex with someone he doesn't know, animal attraction etc etc
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. 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? | |

interesting idea there, never thought about it like that Why? Because it really get's the ball rolling with his wanting Apollonia exclusively and also points to his rivalry with Morris? | |

Yes, it really moves the story along, and it adds alot of emotional depth that you dont get from the slightly wooden acting. Ramps up the tension and emotion more effectively and faster than any dialogue or extra scene could. Mostly its the emotion I think is important. Everyone seems a litle too cool before then My name is Naz!!! and I have a windmill where my brain is supposed to be.....

I would  I would miss it terribly. I love DEZ and I loved this song. I also dug the way the club audience was moving to the song. They weren't all on beat but they did good enough.

Although a 2-record set would have been amazing,I think the 9-song album is fine the way it is.It's a tight,focused album.Still,we will always wonder about what could have been. | |
