Scandalous Maxi single

Who else is feeling this, its a one off CD single from lae 1989 with the full length version of Scandalous (The Crime, The Passion and The Rapture) which is brilliant itself, but even better is a funky number called SEX (The 80s are over) which is the very best of late 80s Prince (Or is this Camile, its sounding like a Camille voice). To top it off When 2 R in Love is added as the Bside track my 2nd favourite Prince song of all time. The best 25 cents I ever spent, does anyone else really love this too. cool

And then theres the camp cover showing Prince in a red outfit pouting. lol
So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

The Passion (So Scandalous & Marvelous !)

Come (Come) closer (Closer)
Feel what U been dyin' 4 (Put your hand on my thigh)
(Higher and higher)
Don't be afraid, baby (Even in between)
Touch it and explode (Wherever U want, it's alright)
(I don't mind, cuz U so fine)
Understand, understand that I love U (U so sensual)
Ah, but more than that - I want U (When I first saw U on the dance floor,
honey)
(I just had 2, ooh)
Everybody always told me good things come 2 those who wait (Over and over)
(Desire, U and me)
But I've got so much on the menu (Pumpin' the electric intercourse)
I just can't, I just can't, I can't wait, baby (Ooh fantasy)
I can't wait, baby (Can we please do it? Let's do it by the mirror baby)
(So I can see what I wanna see)
I can wrap my legs all around U girl (Be what I want 2 be)
Cuz sugar, U know U're just the kind of lover (I wanna suck your every emotion)
That I've been lookin' 4 (Right straight outta your mind)
2night why don't we skip all the foreplay, mama (And then wrap my legs around U, mama)
And just get down here on the floor (And then slide down here, alright? Ooh please!)

CHORUS
(Everything U ever dreamed of)
(Do it all and so much more)

Dear, my, my (Ooh baby)
My dearest, my dearest
Oooh

Talk 2 me, pretty warm thang (Whisper)
Tell me when U come one time
Talk 2 me, pretty warm thing
It's alright, it's alright
Hold me tight, don't U stop 2night
Let's do it baby till the mornin' light
Talk 2 me, pretty warm thang
It's alright, it's alright

{repeat over CHORUS}

Baby (Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
Anything U ever dreamed of, baby, just ask me, I'll do, ooh
Anything at all
Spirits rise and spirits fall

Scandalous, (ooh) I'm talkin' 'bout U and me
Marvelous, baby, baby, can't U see?

Baby, baby, I love when U talk 2 me
Tell me what I wanna hear
Talk 2 me
So much I want 2 do with U honey, can't U see? (Scandalous)
So just talk 2 me, pretty warm thing (Marvelous)
Suck your electric ocean, sail your virgin sea
Baby, baby, baby, yeah don't U wanna be with me?
Everything U dreamed of
Shh, I will do...
I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon...

The full version is on Batman. These are different/alternate/extended mixes.

but even better is a funky number called SEX (The 80s are over) which is the very best of late 80s Prince (Or is this Camile, its sounding like a Camille voice).

Actually, the first line of the song identifies the character's identity:
"So my name is Endorphin"

I only rediscovered this CD when I had to reload my Ipod, which wiped itself complete with all the songs I paif for off Itunes, including The Vault, so I can't comment about this one any more. I wonder why Prince wanted to be endorphin at the time, had Camille left the building.
So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

SEX is one of those great Prince tracks that no one talks about.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

This was my ultimate lucky buy....Our Price (remember them) were selling the normal Maxi-Single for £4.99 and the Japanese Import fort £25.99 (it had the purple partymix, feel u up, purple music mix etc etc).... I couldn't afford the import so sadly limped away with the normal version.

Got home and the guy in the store had put the import in the box by mistake smile smile

Yeah this was cool when it came out in late '89.
After the Summer Of Batman and all of the singles,
12 inches, & b-sides, -BAM The Scandalous Sex Suite!
I always thought the Kim Basinger stuff was kind of silly,
but The Rapture is a killer and the added background
vocals to the regular parts of Scandalous are sweet.
This is also the Batman single that broke away from
just having a Bat Logo on the cover.

I have to say that the song "Sex" from this CD Single is among my least liked songs in his entire career. Wasn't too keen on the extended versions of Scandalous either.

Yes I love that photo, it reminded me of a really camp friend I had called Rana Simon at the time. He ended up becoming a drag queen (He used to love imitating that pose.)

Yep - it's called guidance, quality control and structure.

All put in place to prevent the Emperors New Clothes syndrome we see now

but hey...what do record companies know eh!?
