PrintableBrilliant song.
Along with 'Purple Music', 'Possessed', 'Chocolate', 'All Day, All Night' and 'Wonderful Ass' it stands out for me particularly, in terms of electro-linn drum funk. Can you imagine an old school A and B side with 'Extraloveable' on the A-side and 'Purple Music' on the other? | |

One of my favorite Prince songs. I wouldn't even care if he took out the whole rape thing. The groove is upbeat, the guitar riff is jammin, the melody is groovin, it's allll good.
I have two different versions, one from The Work, and one from Electric Intercourse. Same take but different pitches. Not sure which one is the definite one? | |

for religious reasons BS??? yeah P says some way out shit...So when I herd that line, I was shocked. but not surprized...If that makes sence To let Dez tell it in his book, he was torn between not feeling comfortable doing the racier material as well as wanting to strike out on his own. As far as the way out shit I stated earlier, here's a lyric from P's version of Jerk Out, also from the same period as Extra Loveable. Jerk Out was a song that he also offered to Mazarati but Sir Casey, the lead vocalist, wasn't comfortable with the lyrics...So P edited out shit and gave it to The Time. An original Prince lyric to the song Jerk Out..... "I took her 2 my crib and I tied her up I figured that's what she liked Maybe I was wrong but what the hell It didn't matter 2 me, she was white." wow...  thAts kind of racist...lol | |

Extra Lovable would only be served any justice by staying exactly the way it is. That means... Prince can't touch it!  Shake....shake, shake, shake. |

Ain't my blood the same color as yours? Answer that question bitch!" Now, I don't think THAT lyric is racist but a legit question. So if u run both of those sets of lyrics together like how P originally sung it, P is on two sides of the fence in the SAME verse. And remember, this is the same cat who wrote Ice Cream Castles... "It's raining. Mad sisters, why can't they realize, that it won't be long." And this lyric is in a song about black men and non black women and interracial love.

And speaking of a trip....Another song that should have been released and wasn't is P's song "Baby, You're A Trip". His 1982 o.g. version of this is one of the best vocals I have ever heard P record. His falsetto and his screams are off the hook. I can understand why he didn't put it on the 1999 album cuz he already had International Lover. And it wouldn't have fit on the PR album. But if he had chucked ATWIAD and kept and released The Dance Electric for himself, and named that as the title of his follow up album to Purple Rain, this song would have fit. So now, I have to add to my phanthom The Dance Electric song list... The Dance Electric She's Always In My Hair Electric Intercourse Hello God (vocal) 100 M.P.H. Baby, You're A Trip Extra Loveable Now watch somebody do a thread based off of this post.  [Edited 9/7/09 23:13pm] SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz.

[Edited 9/7/09 23:13pm] Some good points but your forgeting Free and Moonbeam Levels and their connection. Moonbeam Levels witch was an actual outtake for 1999 but was kept off because of it similarites to Free. Also Free has some similarites with both Baby, You're A Trip and Moonbeam Levels. So Im assuming that's why Baby, You're A Trip wasn't used in 1999 Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

[Edited 9/7/09 23:13pm] I would also add All Day, All Night to that playlist and I think that Irresistible Bitch, Possessed, and 4 the Tears in Your Eyes (studio version) could work nicely too |

I never heard Baby, You're A Trip sounding like A Better Place though. Again though, that song is strong as hell.

The Dance Electric
She's Always In My Hair Electric Intercourse Hello God (vocal) 100 M.P.H. Baby, You're A Trip Extra Loveable Looking at this list it looks odd to see Hello there, isn't that a revolution song and the rest alot earlier? it just doesn't look right, unless there's an earler version of Hello that i ain't heard. She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

i think the whole rape thing was a bit much even for prince ... i like controversey but cant relate to pushing that notion ... love the song tho have my own edit sans rape lyrics .
i think if he released all day all nite today as is it would top the charts easy ... unlike his most recent 5 albums which are quite stale make that his last 10 albums actually ... sorry :0 | |

That I wanted P to chuck ATWIAD to the side and release ^^^^this material for The Dance Electric album. So this was part of the album that I thought would have made a cool follow up to Purple Rain. Which a follow up album to Purple Rain would have come out in 85. THUS, my list SHOULD be from 1985. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

"Hello" shouldn't look any more "odd" than "She's Always In My Hair" does. Both songs were b-sides to songs from ATWIAD and both songs were from "The Revolution". But so was the Purple Rain album. That too was from "The Revolution". Extra Loveable and Baby, You're A Trip are both from 82, the oldest tracks on my list. But both would have been cool on an album as a follow up to PR. The b side to "America" was "Girl", which is also from 82. THAT didn't stop P from putting it out in 85. [Edited 9/17/09 2:43am] SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz.

Maybe he can get the Rape part out of the song and re-record that song Lyrics are something he can sing today and it would be big hit I can't belive he never released it,but there were rumours before musicology got out that Extra Lovable will be there. I totally agree with you i love love love this song well cool | |

I don't think U heard me (Ooh ooh!) I'm on the verge of rape I'm on the.. I'm sorry, but I'm just gonna have 2 rape U Now are U going 2 get into the tub or do I have 2 drag U? Don't make me drag U I can be very cruel Yeah! I'm not quite sure what our Little Prince was thinking when he included these verses. Like today, and even back then, rape wwas/is the ugliest 4 letter word. Swearing is one thing and is easier to accept. It could easily be changed to "I'm just gonna have to make you" but I guess if thats the way he wrote it thats the way it should be played - I'm not sure that lyrics from songs should be taken so literally anyways of course he never meant what it actually means but he was young and I would think probably a bit angry at times. | |
