Love For Shockadelica! Isn't that Camille at his best?
What a perfect way to use the simple minor seventh which would soon be the precurser for hits like Falling To Pieces by Faith No More. The rhythm already got your mind, body and soul hitched - the drum machine with the off-beat bass drum and this weird sound - I can't even define it - that's ever present right from the start at every fourth. Add the funky major sixth guitar licks and those slick background vocals. Oh, and the chorus! When the distorted guitar thrives and the chords start to wander... This song is fucking great and so is the extended version - I love the ending there, with him creating some funky noises with his singing, doing the reverse melody of the keyboard a little bit off-beat. To me, this song is the colour green. Come on, orgers, give that song some love, y'all! | |

Love this song. I like how the chorus unexpectedly comes out of nowhere, didn't think it would go that way! Shockadelica, dobe-doobeedoo At this point in history, we have a choice to make

I love it... but I never got green... I guess I was too influenced by the 12" cover... those Apocalypse Now kind of colors... My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

Oh yeah!
Yeah! Looka here (The lights go out) The lights go out, the smell of doom Is creepin' into your lonely room The bed's on fire, your fate is sealed And U're so tired and the reason is Camille-mille Shockadelica - The girl must be a witch She got your mind, body, and soul hitched Shockadelica - U need a second opinion, but she never wears a stitch So U can't take her home She got U tied with a golden rope She won't let U play your guitar And when U've cried enough Maybe she'll let U up 4 a nasty ride in her shockadeli-car She'll make U beg her ("Please girl") Shockadelica - She got U in a trance Cuz when this woman say dance, U dance Shockadelica - U need a second opinion, but U just can't leave her alone With her U got no mind of your own Shockadelica, Shockadelica Doo bee, doo bee, doo bee, yeah! Shockadelica, Shockadelica Doo bee, doo bee Shockadelica The lights go out, the smell of doom Again is creepin' into your lonely room Is this a dream or is this real? (Or is this real?) Or is this just a mirage U feel? Shockadelica {x2} Shockadelica - She must be witch She got your mind, body, and soul hitched Shockadelica - U need a second opinion, she never wears a stitch U can't take her home Shockadelica - She got U in a trance When this girl say dance, baby, baby, baby, U dance (Shockadelica) U dance, U dance, U dance, U dance, U... Shockadelica (She must be a witch) Shockadelica (She got my mind, body, and soul hitched) Doo bee, doo bee, yeah Shockadelica (I think I need a... I think I need a second opinion) Shockadelica (I don't know...) Doo bee, doo bee, doo bee The lights go out, the smell of doom Again is creeping into your lonely room Is this a dream or is this real? Or is this just a mirage U feel? {repeated loop} (Shockadelica) Shockadelica | |

There's just no song out there similar to it... peace | |

Definitely a classic!! ![]() I remember when I first heard this on a local radio urban station one Saturday night! The DJ was mixing it up. I started jumping up and down just knowing this was some new Prince! Went to the wrecka stowe the following day and bought the IIWYG 12". ![]() | |

Everything is great. The evil synths, screamin over a witch, the wailing guitar. Imagine Camille for real ![]() Hey, this would make for a cool org project.

Such an ace track, creams my ear every time. If you'll forgive the disgusting imagery.
Always thought that 'Shockadelica!' was what Prince shouted on 'Cindy C.' Wish it was. | |
