Parade Outtakes

Tracklist:
01. Little Girl Wendy's Parade 2:07


"Christopher Tracy's Parade" was originally recorded as this outtake. The song is basically the same but with a reference to Wendy's guitar (rhymes with "car" in the next line) as opposed to Tracy's piano. Incidentally, Prince sings "little girl Wendy's parade" in "Kiss" right before the third verse.

Everyone come behold little girl Wendy's parade
The show will proceed unless it should rain strawberry lemonade

02. New Position 2:16 Originally from the Controversy era


03. I Wonder U 1:33


04. Under The Cherry Moon 2:51


05. There's Others Here With Us 2:38


*Prince's experimental frame of mind is evident on this track, a dark, strange number with a stark instrumentation made up of tribal-like drumming and various sound effects, such as someone weeping. Prince's vocals are harsh and confused, matching the nightmarish lyrics mentioning death and suicide. Recorded during the Parade sessions, it confirms Prince's belief the spirit lives on after death.

It's strange how your mind works when Love is in power
One learns 2 care and appreciate a flower
What makes others want 2 change your mind?
All the things I've seen, life is so sublime

06. Life Can Be So Nice 3:08


07. Sometimes It Snows In April 6:41


08. Old Friends 4 Sale 3:30


* Old Friends 4 Sale can b heard when christopher comes home 2 a drunk tricky

*This slow bluesy classic is one of Prince's most autobiographical songs in which he sings about Steve Fargnoli, Wendy Melvoin, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and the late bodyguard Chick Huntsberry. A somber mood is established from an eerie slightly discordant synth with a piano the main accompaniment. Recorded during the Parade sessions, two versions exist, with one including Clare Fischer's orchestra. It was revised in 1991.

The sun set in my heart this afternoon
4 2 friends of mine got stuck in the snow
In Uptown when winter's alarmin',


This song I originally heard a few times on 104 WDKX back in 85, it was played as a PROMO. I really believe Prince might have released it as such, instead of it being 'leaked'
I had it on tape the same time I added the Black album boot to when it was 'leaked' to the underground. I love(d) this song, it's so personal, so much feeling and history behind it versus the version released on the Vault cd which is so overworked/destroyed impersonal and just not enjoyable. Like Hello, Old Friends 4 Sale is recounting some experiences that happened near the end at the end of the Purple Rain era/tour. His 1st real move toward a jazz feel. Piano, bass, drums with use of the brush and some strings.


Old Friends 4 Sale
Get em while their still hot
Watch out they'll kiss U till they get what U got
And they'll show U the friends that their not
Old Friends 4 Sale

09. All My Dreams 7:12

Welcome, this is where I live
This is where I dream my dreams

10. Girls & Boys 5:37


11. Love Or Money 4:10 Sung in Prince, not Camille, voice

Nothing comes 4 free now
If U want 2 be with me now
What's it gonna be now?

12. Heaven 7:04


*12. Heaven (recorded in France summer '84), this whimsical track was recorded in May of 1985 but was never placed on any configuration of Parade. Prince plays the main "carnivalesque" theme on the organ, alternating with a different figure, played on synth sounding like a harp. The lyrics reflect Prince's belief that heaven can be a place on earth.

Heaven will be here on earth
If we just try 2 love

13.- An Honest Man Complete instrumental version of the song, from Under the Cherry Moon movie & an accapella lyrical version

14.- Neon Telephone Parade outtake later given to Three OClock 3:52

Sometimes her pride is like a big tall building
It hides the street that leads 2 a sweet mystery

15. It's A Wonderful Day

* It's A Wonderful Day is when the infamous butterscotch vs chocolate scene

Everybody makes suggestions but the words don't rhyme
Decisions they don't have 2 live by are easy ones 2 make
Why can't they love me 4 what I am

"It's A Wonderful Day" is a fairly nondescript uptempo number, and may have been intended to be replaced at a later time, according to Susan Rogers. Recorded in January, 1986, the song is a positive and upbeat number and features prominent vocals from Lisa and Wendy. Although discarded, some of the song may have been inspiration for Camille track, "Good Love".

Others Here With Us
When I'm alone, my mind takes a drive
Through chocolate religion and spirits alive
All I was brought up in this world 2 know
Is lost when a demon swallows them whole

CHORUS:
There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know

It's strange how your mind works when Love is in power
One learns 2 care and appreciate a flower
What makes others want 2 change your mind?
All the things I've seen, life is so sublime

CHORUS

7-month-old baby died in her sleep
The parents went crazy and cried 4 a week
They swore they heard her laugh in the crib by the wall
They're convinced she's with us if she's anything at all

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know (I know)

Bobby had an uncle who took a string
And wrapped his neck around it, a pitiful thing
If only we can turn back the hands of time
Except there's others here with us, life is sublime

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know (I know)

All the things I've seen


CHORUS

Funny how the laughin' stopped when I flashed all the cash I had

One of my boys had 2 carry half, now honey U know that's bold
Wait a minute!

I'll see U 2night in all my dreams
All my dreams
My spirit's in flight in all my dreams
All my dreams
A submarine valiantly conquers a virgin sea
A child is born, a child is born, will U marry me?

I'll teach U 2night, in all my dreams
All my dreams
U'll be so surprised, at things U'll see
All my dreams
Africa, Cap'n Crunch, Norma Jean, Sex and Cheerio's
Play my record double speed, feel the climax fit 4 a king

Just fun, nothing ethereal

Here ye, here ye, one and all
That the double speed playhouse is making a call

Welcome, this is where I live
This is where I dream my dreams
2night we'll make love until the world stops turning
U're small but very strong
U move like a cat: quickly but gentle
So insane
He caressed her in her eyes and licked her abdomen
She shivered with delight
Over and over she nibbled his ear
U'd think it was wrong 2 have so much fun
He held her tightly until it almost hurt
But his hips, they moved so slowly
She wanted 2 stop breathing
U can feel every curve of her womanhood
U can see every thought in his brain
A submarine slowly moves through the virgin sea
Oh so slowly
She wants 2 stop breathing
U... U can feel every curve

Lisa, I'm gonna give U the brush and U're gonna paint the side of the train

She squeezes tighter as the submarine goes deeper in depth
Into the unnavigated territory
A smile, ever so slight, appears on his face as she starts 2 cry
Until they come, 2gether, slowly
They wish 4 somethin', as if they could see a parallel future in the sea
They do not speak
They only stare out the moment in time

Marry me 2day and 2night we'll make love until the world stops turning
I'm dreaming of a world)
Wherein there shines the sun
Wherein there lay the stars
Wherein there lie the stones
Gentle, but quickly

We'll travel 2night in all my dreams
All my dreams

All my dreams, all my dreams
Goodness will guide us if love is inside us
The colors are brighter, the bond is much tighter
U know no child's a failure
Until the blue sailboat sails him away from his dreams
Don't ever lose, don't ever lose
Don't ever lose your dreams
Yeah!

Alexa De Paris was released as the b-side of Mountains, the second single from Prince's eighth album Parade, the third to be credited to Prince and the Revolution. Unusually, the extended version was also included as a b-side on the European CD single of Letitgo eight years later. The track is also heard in Prince's second film Under The Cherry Moon.
While specific recording dates are not know, initial tracking took place in July 1985 at the Washington Avenue Warehouse. Clare Fischer arranged and recorded orchestration for the song at some point in late 1985 at Monterey Sound Studios, Glendale, CA, USA.

July 1985 Washington Avenue Warehouse, Eden Prairie, MN, USA

late 1985 Monterey Sound Studios, Glendale, CA, USA Orchestra recording by Clare Fischer

Performed live 3 March, 1986, First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN, USA

Alexa de Paris - RELEASE DATE: 7 MAY 1986 - RELEASE FORMAT: SINGLE TRACK


Featured in Under The Cherry Moon, the instrumental "Alexa de Paris” was the B-side of “Mountains.” The song was recorded at the Washington Avenue warehouse in July 1985. It appeared in some of the 1986 “Hit & Run” concerts but was dropped for the European and Japanese Parade tours.

A complex and dramatic piece of music, Alexa de Paris is an ambitious medium-paced instrumental rock number that recalls the “symphonic” rock of Mike Oldfield or such groups as Genesis and Yes. Prince improvises on guitar around a basic theme, which is played on synth. The music is calm and unhurried but intensity builds as the instrumentation expands, with Clare Fischer’s orchestra adding an element of danger. An arpeggiated synth and string part leads into a second section of the song. The tempo increases as the bass becomes more driving and the drumming more active. Prince rips into a guitar solo and Sheila E. plays a brief drum solo, before everything returns to the main theme again

The Flesh

The Flesh was a project of live jam sessions recorded in late 1985 to early 1986. The project was abandoned when Prince began work on Parade although a small instrumental portion of a track called "Junk Music" made it into the film Under the Cherry Moon. A circulating outtake from these sessions is titled "U Got 2 Shake Something".

I'm afraid, U know, U can't fuck with us

28 December 1985
Prince gets together with Eric Leeds, Sheila E. and Levi Seacer Jr. to jam at Sunset Sound.
The quartet recorded a highly spontaneous "Paisley Jam" session. Eric played saxophone, Sheila drums, Levi bass, while Prince alternated between guitar and piano. Eight instrumentals were committed to tape:


"Slaughterhouse"
"U Just Can't Stop"
"Run Amok"
"Mobile"
"Madrid"
"Breathless"
"High Colonic"
"12 Keys"


They were given titles simply to facilitate their identification. Accordingly "Madrid" was named so because it had a kind of Spanish feel, while "Mobile" (referring to Mobile, Alabama) was a bluesy piece. Similarly "12 Keys" featured mmany key changes (the song incorporates a portion of the melody of "The Question Of U"). Eric went into the studio the next day to record saxophone and flute over dubs on some of the "Paisley Jam" tracks.

30 December 1985
Fired up by the results of the "Paisley Jam", Prince is back in the Sunset Sound studio with Eric, Sheila and Levi. They recorded "U Gotta Shake Something", "Voodoo Who" and "Finest Whisky" during another highly relaxed session. By now, Prince was beginning to realise that the music they were creating was highly exciting and perhaps worthy of release.

5 January 1986
Lisa Coleman, Wendy Melvoin and her brother Jonathan, join the line-up of Prince, Eric, Sheila and Levi in the Sunset Sound studio for an exhausting seven-hour session, the so-called "Everybody's Jam". Six of the pieces hat were recorded were given titles:


"Groove in C Minor"
"Slow Groove in G Major"
"Groove in G Flat Minor"
"Junk Music"
"Up From Below"
"Y'all Want Some More?"


During this session, Prince played primarily drums, while Sheila and Jonathan played percussion, Lisa piano and Wendy guitar and bass.

22 January 1986
An album is assembled from the instrumental sessions held in late Dec. 1985 and early Jan. 1986. Around 20 minutes of the 45 minute "Junk Music" was going to make up side one of the LP, while "Up From Below", "Y'all Want Some More?" and "A Couple Of Miles" were planned for side two of the LP. No test pressing of The Flesh LP was ever made, however, and the album was shelved when Under The Cherry Moon and other activities demanded Prince's full attention.

// So the tracklist for the LP was sequenced:

Side A:
1. Junk Music

Side B:
2. Up From Below
3. Y'All Want Some More?
4. A Couple Of Miles [This was recorded as a tribute to Miles Davis in late December]

//

Featuring largely improvisional music, the Flesh sessions allowed Prince to stretch out musically and develop his musical vocabulary. The Flesh can be seen as a forerunner to Prince's later Madhouse project in more wanys than one.
Much like Madhouse, the musical focus of The Flesh was on instrumental music, basically funk jams with a distrinct jazz flavour added by Eric Leeds, who was given the opportunity to contribute more actively to Prince's music. And much like Madhouse the plan was ro release The Flesh album "anonymously" with few details about the participants and certainly no mention of Prince's involvement.

The Flesh instrumentals remain unreleased, although part of the melody for "Madrid" was later re-used by Eric for "Andorra" on his 1991 Times Squared album. Additionally, some 30 seconds of "Junk Music" made it into Under The Cherrymoon as background music (in the scene where Tricky and Christopher are arguing over what type of man Mary Sharon prefers).

Further Sunset Sound sessions in January included work on several tracks for Jill Jones' album. Before leaving for L.A. in late January, Prince taped 2 songs for Dream Factory, "Last Heart" and "It's A Wonderful Day".

Mia Bocca, I know it's a 1987 rel, but this song look everything about it screams PARADE era, I always say she should have had a 1986 album + a Purple Rain or 1999 album release. The song can be heard in the movie Under the Cherry Moon

Mia Bocca

I have only had one lover
Since I was 12 years old
So I don't care how hot U get me
I wouldn't do him cold
But there's somethin' about U, baby
That's got me koo koo
Would U hold it against me
If I said I loved another?
Tu vuole la mia bocca {U want my lips}
CHORUS:
Tu vuole la mia bocca
I love another
Tu vuole la mia bocca
Don't want no other

Something's happenin', I just can't explain it
U're doin' somethin' 2 me
My body's shakin', baby, shake, shake, shakin', baby
Shakin' like a leaf on a tree
I could never be unfaithful
Baby, I could never be
Boy, I got a feelin' that I ain't used 2 feelin'
I gotta do somethin'
Tu vuole la mia bocca

CHORUS

(I love a drama) {repeat in BG)
I'll pretend I'm in a movie
A make believe dream world caprice de la drama {... whimsical drama}
U can be a page in my diary
If U promise not 2 tell my mama

There's somethin' about U, baby
That's got me koo koo
I can't explain what's dancin' in my brain
We gotta do somethin'
Tu vuole la mia bocca

CHORUS

Sono caliente d' amore {I'm hot with love}
Il mio labio sono resbaloso {My lips are boiling hot}
Puoi toccare piano {U can touch softly}
Lo siento ma io voglio un altro {I'm sorry, but I love another one}

I love another! (CHORUS {x3})
I don't want no other! {x2}

Tu vuole la mia bocca
I love another

I'm going koo koo

Sono caliente d' amore
Il mio labio sono resbaloso
Puoi toccare piano
Lo siento ma io voglio un altro

Mia bocca

"Kiss" is a 1986 song by Prince and the Revolution, from the album Parade. Kiss started as a short acoustic demo, about a minute in length, with one verse and the chorus. Prince gave the song to the funk band Mazarati for their debut album. Mazarati and producer David Z. drastically reworked the song, giving it its unique raw funk and oddly effective stripped-down minimalist sound. When Mazarati delivered the song to Prince, he was amazed at their work and decided to take back the song for himself. He replaced their lead vocal, added the guitar break in the chorus and edited the song to its present form.

Mazarati were credited for their backing vocals, which Prince left intact. He added the song at the last minute to Parade. Despite Warner Bros. not wanting to release it as a single, Kiss became Prince's third number-one U.S. hit following 1984's highly successful "When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy". It was also a big hit across the Atlantic, reaching #6 on the UK Singles Chart. The song won Prince another Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group, and was nominated for Best R&B Song. [1] The song has become a staple at Prince's concerts and is usually sung partially by the audience.

The 12" single of the song is an extension of the album track. The extended section is based on the funky guitar line and contains much fuller instrumentation than the main track, including bass, keys and horns. New lyrics are present from Prince with Jill Jones that ends with a humorous dialogue between a wife and her husband watching Prince on television. The B-side of Kiss was the funky "¢¾ or $" ("Love or Money"), sung in a processed, higher-pitched vocal, which Prince would later use for his Camille material. The song relates to the theme in Under the Cherry Moon and a bit of the song was heard in the film, as was a bit of the extended version of Kiss. The extended Kiss was included on 2006's Ultimate but "¢¾ or $" has oddly never been re-released.

Kiss

Uh!
U don't have 2 be beautiful 2 turn me on
I just need your body, baby, from dusk till dawn
U don't need experience 2 turn me out
U just leave it all up 2 me, I'm gonna show U what it's all about

CHORUS:
U don't have 2 be rich 2 be my girl
U don't have 2 be cool 2 rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your... kiss

U got 2 not talk dirty, baby, if U wanna impress me
U can't be 2 flirty, mama, I know how 2 undress me (Yeah)
I want 2 be your fantasy, maybe U could be mine
U just leave it all up 2 me, we could have a good time

CHORUS

Yes, oh
I think I wanna dance, uh
Gotta, gotta, oh
Little Girl Wendy's Parade
Gotta, gotta, gotta

Women, not girls, rule my world, I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama, not your shoe size, maybe we could do the twirl
U don't have 2 watch Dynasty 2 have an attitude, uh
U just leave it all up 2 me, my love will be your food (Yeah)

U don't have 2 be rich 2 be my girl
U don't have 2 be cool 2 rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm compatible with!
I just want your extra time and your... kiss

Woman overboard, everybody on the ground
10 toes goin' up, 10 toes goin' down
Got the gun pointin' at 'cha
We're never gonna cut our hair
(Come here, let me cut that hair) No!

Gotta, gotta
(My body wanna tell U 2 take control)
(This way 2 this purple soul)

Oh, pretty mama, I think I wanna ride

Sophie, 4 God's sake
If U touch the television, I'll kill U Sophie

Sol, can U please change the channel 4 God's sake?
I don't care, leave it alone, sit down!

I can't stand David Letterman, he looks like a banker

U don't have 2 watch Dynasty 2 have an attitude
Leave it all up 2 me, my love will be, will be your food
Everybody will have short hair
Let's cut it, mama! (Pretty mama)
I think I wanna ride
Put the daddy in the front seat, me and the girl outside
I just want your extra time and your... kiss

Oh my God, isn't that Prince on television, Sol? {fade out}

OK Sophie, it's obvious
No, wait a minute, I bought this television
Why'd... why U ruin it 4 me 4 God's sake?

Is he the strangest lookin' thing U've ever seen or what?

U wanna talk strange Sophie? OK, let's talk strange

Sol, don't U touch that channel!
Leave it alone, Sol!

Sophie, U're strange, I'm changin' the channel

Sol, do U... do U value your life?
Sit down Sol!

Mico Weaver: Yeah, actually we did the Purple Rain Tour. It was like 100 shows in the States. The last show was in Florida so everybody was chillin'. Now the tour was over, 'what are we gonna do right after this?' So he called me and said 'Hey come up to my room, and he showed me "Around The World In A Day", the cover and all that stuff. He said 'this is the new thing'. I thought 'this is cool' -- it showed his own label and then he told me 'I want you to play in The Family'.
A: You played in The Family too?
Mico Weaver: Yeah, we did one concert at First Avenue, the only existing concert of that group.
