Really hoping the sceptics and bitter bugs will be wrong just once...just once...

Sadly, re-reading the post and Dr F's words, I'm not sure this will be that time

Scepticism is a virtue, and quite necessary for human survival actually.

The funniest thing about this entire deal is that there is not one single mention that the song is being released ANYWHERE. Not even in Dr. F's post. The wording is a little deceptive, but he's simply saying the band is about to unleash the song during their live shows and that people should go to the live shows wherever they end up being.

There is no actual release of any kind being mentioned yet all these chickenheads bobbing on P's dick think they are having religious experiences cuz Prince is so kind and loving.

The funniest thing about this entire deal to me...is how drastically these lyrics:

wanna rap a little bit, oh!
Yeah!

Baby, U got somethin' that would make
A many hippie mighty proud
U got a dozen little sexy tricks
That doesn't seem that Miss U.S. would even allow
Never do U boast like the other girls
Who think they found a love 2 flaunt it (I never hear U brag)
And what I dig the most is that U keep it in your hand
Until I, until I, until I want it

CHORUS:
If ever honey U need someone 2 take a shower with girl
Call me up and scream
Extra lovable, honey don't U wanna, don't U wanna
Take a bath with me?

Listen..
Baby, U could turn my mama on
She's just as straight, just as straight as straight can be
Even though my daddy's gone
Come back just 2 haunt U, come back just 2 haunt U mystically
(Yes he will)
Baby, I know my rap is hard
Not as hard as what's behind door (dig it), door number pants
Baby, U're so sure, I'd love 2 see U dancin' naked
Ooh sugar, I wanna see U dance

CHORUS

Don't U wanna get, don't U wanna get off?

Baby, U got something that would make
A many hippie mighty proud (Then play it loud!)
U got a dozen little sexy tricks
That doesn't seem that Miss U.S., ooh, would even allow
Yeah, never do U boast like the other girls
Who think they found a love 2 flaunt it
(Oh, play with this love, yeah, let me tell ya)
What I dig the most is the way that U keep your sugar in your hand
Till I want it

If ever honey U need someone 2 take a shower with mama (There it is)
Call me up and scream
Extra lovable, honey don't U wanna, don't U wanna
Take a bath with me?

Ooh, sugar baby, U're so fine
What say U and me go 2 my place and make some time?
I'm not that popular yet, so if U want, I'm yours
"I don't want anyone 2 see what we're gonna do"
Think U better shut the door

(Ooh!)
Do U know what I'm talkin' about? (I say ooh ooh!)
If U know it, let me hear U say it baby (I say ooh!)
I can't hear U (Ooh ooh!)
Purple politicians, sing it (Ooh!)
Come on, 2 times, sing it (Ooh ooh!)
One time (Ooh!)
2 times (Ooh ooh!)
I wanna rap a little bit (One time, ooh!)

I said my daddy might be dead
But he'll know what is she (Anybody, 2 times, ooh ooh!)
Heaven knows I told him
She's bad as U could be (One time, ooh!)

Oh, yeah (2 times, say ooh ooh!)
(Ooh!)
Extra lovable, extra lovable
(U got it, 2 times, say ooh ooh!)
(Ooh!)
(2 times, say ooh ooh!)
Would anybody care 2 get naked?

Extra lovable {x3}

(Ooh!)
Extra lovable (Ooh ooh!)
Here we go, come on (Ooh!)
Extra lovable (2 times, ooh ooh!)
Extra lovable (Ooh!)
Extra lovable (2 times, ooh ooh!)
Extra lovable (One time, say ooh!)
Everybody (Ooh ooh!) (Extra lovable)
Lisa (Ooh!) (Can U feel it, baby?)
Bobby Z, say it (Ooh ooh!) (U got 2 say it loud)
Doctor (Ooh!)
Hey Dez, don't U like my band? (Ooh ooh!) (Gotta, gotta say it loud)
Everybody, Brownmark say (Ooh!) (Everybody else sing it)
Brownmark, Brownmark say (Ooh ooh!) (Extra lovable)
I can't hear U, say (Ooh!)

This ain't just about your body, baby
It's about your mind (Ooh ooh!)
Come on and take the drop, baby
And spare some time (Ooh!)

I'm on the verge of rape
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!

If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do (Huh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do (Huh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do (Oh, oh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do (Ooh!)
If U don't stop the groove (Ooh ooh!)
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do
(That's right) (Ooh ooh ooh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do
(Wait a minute) (Ooh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do (Ooh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do {fade out}
(Break Wendy, huh!) (Ooh!) (Huh!)
If U don't stop the groove
Extra lovable beat tell your body what 2 do

Live or Memorex...will have to be changed...even though Prince doesn't utter a single curse word in 'em.

Hmm. Prince is “Extra Loveable”…and we know that you know that. So is the doc as well.

We can only guess PRINCE is not worried about new lawsuit claims. (What? Didn’t think WE would mention it? tsk. He is not worried bout, we ain’t worried bout it.)

Perhaps he is on a high with Misty Copeland being his “date” to Elton John’s Oscar party…..that we did not even hear if Prince even had an Oscar party…..shoot, we would be on a high too. A girl the doc dated in high school was a former ballerina n she was quite bendy. Ahem. ‘Scuse me…..

Wherever PRINCE plays next, make your way there!!!!!

We just got word that he got a 25 minute live version of the bootleg classic “EXTRA LOVEABLE” that he is about to unleash. What do you know about that PURPLE FUNK?????

(I know I would love to hear a sample of that 25 minutes, PRINCE. Ahem. Just putting it out there…..)

With PRINCE bringing out jams like “Extra Loveable” the party is going to go on for days ya’ll!!!!!!!

BTW, do we still have permission to tweet during a show that has “Extra Loveable” in it?-Dr.FB

http://www.drfunkenberry.com/2011/03/04/prince-is-extra-loveable-but-where-will-he-play-next/#comments

The bolded part is the crux of why this 'big announcent' is coming out right now.

"The doc" is really up his own ass. His blog posts try way, way too hard.

I'll be excited about this news when I actually HEAR THE SONG, and not hear ABOUT it.

True. The thing is, Prince SHOULD be worried about the lawsuit. Any self-respecting person would be. Or, are we to take the view that he's as nonchalant towards it as he was towards the fulfillment of the original show. Finally, wtf has it got to do with Foolberry? He's not worried because Prince isn't. What does he care?

Prince. Just stop wasting our time...

Basically I was saying that I usually prefer to stay optimistic until there's no hope left, but in this case it's hard because I get what people are saying; that there's no mention of an actual release in this thread, only the suggestion of a live version at a concert - given that I live many thousands of miles away from anywhere he's likely to play anytime soon, that's not super exciting news - for now anyway...

... W2A live CD/DVD, anyone???

As for the rest of it, that relates to another thread...

Yes, now this shall be interesting!! I know he have changed some things with the lyrics but, that's cool with me. That groove was tight and it's one of those great outtakes from back in the day. I bet this sounds great. I look forward to hearing this. It's just a shame that The Revolution didn't get to play this cut back in the day because that would have been sick!

Prince seems to have a terrible fear of people viewing him as vulnerable or not in total control of every aspect of his life, or thinking his life isn't a perfect paradise filled only with hot music, hot women and good times...and when shit hits the fan such as this lawsuit (or other talk starts circulationg which might make him look like a mortal man, i.e. his hip issues), he has his designated mouthpiece issue a swagger-laden propoganda blurb to try to dilute all the discussions about his troubles, and redirect focus elsewhere - this time, Extra Loveable and Misty.

Maybe Prince truly ISN'T concerned about this lawsuit, and really, how he deals with life's trials and tribulations is his own business. But his concern with protecting his image and persona as someone who is above anything distressing, unpleasant, or painful (physically or emotionally) is obvious every time one of these "PRINCE IS ABOUT TO UNLEASH [ fill in amazing new song/video/tour/book/perfume/etc ] ON THE WORLD AND BY THE WAY HIS LIFE IS AWESOME AND HE'S NOT CONCERNED ABOUT [ fill in whatever rumored problem he's having ]!! and it's kind of amusing.

Listen. EL is a GREAT song. But that does not mean it would be a hit. In todays culture? Prionce could do another When Doves Cry but ti will not make a dent on the chart. Nor will a RollinjgStones song, or a U2 song. These giuys are 30-50 years in , and the zeitgiest is not trying to make them a hit on the pop charts. Seriously, what is the matter with you?

Ahem... is it really so hard to just release the original track?

Much love to Funkenberry.

As far as the lawsuit, of course Prince isn't concerned about it. Just like MJ was not concerned about the hundreds of lawsuits he faced every year.

Either he'll end up paying or he'll get out of it somehow. It doesn't make a difference either way, a few million dollars is chump change to P. There is no reason for him to give a fuck.

Fool. All you've done is simply restate Prince's position like you were making an argument of some kind. Don't bother if you have nothing to contribute.

You see, it's not exactly Prince against the Man this time is it? There might actually be people out there who do care that he pays back what's owed to the Irish promotor...say, people who ended up paying for airfares and hotels for a concert no-show. Some of them might even be as blindly fanbotic as you.

this can't be a coincidence. someone pointed out the cover version to him and he heard it.

then he thought "hmm, wait a minute".

another classic outtake about to be released as a one off live performance or a half assed

newly recorded version.

we've had a few of those over the years. all turning out to be song without either a home,

or a heart.

rebirth of the flesh (rehearsal). really? finally we get the song and it's a lame rehearsal?

only half the song there, really, plus irritating shouting from bandmembers. urgh. what

makes it even worse is that he now probably considers the song to be released and does

not care to ever release the studio version.

splash - bad sound quality, tucked away amongst tons of new material on npgmc, offline.

one of the reasons npgmc could have been great, if only he'd released more of these and

bundled them together on an album.

in a large room with no light - kinda cool new version, can't hold a candle to original tho.

performed live two or three times and only available for a short time at the montreux jazz

festival website. not even put up on his own lotusflower site at the time. infuriating. even

more so since people were wooed with talks of "10 hours worth of unreleased material".

all day, all night - theme of a few shows in paris. artwork featuring the title and then he's

playing it in concert and it's just a chant. and one short acoustic version with just a few

lines. another cock tease. nothing ever came off it after that.

extra loveable - no doubt will have the same patchy 'one off' release that doesn't fit in

anywhere and will be made available through either doc funkenberrie or be broadcast

on some internet radiostation with presenters talking over the intro and outro. probably

only 1/4 of the lyrics still in tact and mostly jamming.

there are more examples of this weird promotion/resurrection of outtakes that fans have

been begging for ever since the first outtakes leaked way back.

so he's obviously aware of how much people love this stuff and how badly they would

want another crystal ball type of release. yet time after time he teases us with it and

then just backs off again.

at this point, i've had enough of outtakes. the above all made it clear to me (as some of

the tracks on crystal ball did too) that the best we can hope for is more releases like the

BOC bootleg, with first generation copies of the outtakes. that way you get them the way

they were recorded. not the post 2000 prince tinkered with versions or an "official release"

of a classic outtake which turns out to be nothing more than some loose jamming with a

chant of the title thrown in.

if he wants me excited, he's either got to anounce a new album or multiple disc set or just

go for a full on review of the vault with a multi disc project of outtakes. but don't mix them

up anymore. it deminishes the value of both the new and the old. and i'm quite sick of it

to be honest.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway now you can commence to cut off my head

Those people should have done some fucking research in the first place because Housequake said the show was NOT HAPPENING quite literally WEEKS beforehand. I'm in the UK, why do you think I never bought a ticket?

"Don't bother if you have nothing to contribute" - sorry, I forgot you were the owner of this forum and decided the rules. Oh wait - you aren't!

Listen up. We don't know that Prince ever agreed to the gig in the first place. His position is most likely that he DIDN'T, otherwise he would have settled by now. Which puts the promoters in the wrong for just rushing out and putting tickets on sale for a show that was already said by people in contact with Prince's team to NOT be happening.

That would be fantastic!

My only disclaimer and it's a personal preference....while I would love to have a released version of Extra Lovable, 25 minutes seems loooooooooong for one song and I prefer studio versions over live. I'd fear that there would be too much of the audience participation, which is great when you are watching him live, but gets old when you just want to hear a great song over and over again. 25 minutes, really? Whew - I'm already planning on editing it down. Can't we just have a nice clean studio track, please?

(Sorry - but it's how I feel.)

Totally agree with you but....remember those 1984/85 rehearsals, those long versions of Noon Rendezvous, Something In The Water etc. etc.?

They were often 15 minutes long or longer and I still can´t get enough of them. But I also fear that he will just give us some edited,overdubbed live or rehearsal version with unnecessary extras or audience chants or whatever.

The original version from the early 80s would be cool though, and if there really IS a long version somewhere in the vault,then I´d be more than happy to hear it.

of a classic outtake which turns out to be nothing more than some loose jamming with a

chant of the title thrown in.

if he wants me excited, he's either got to anounce a new album or multiple disc set or just

go for a full on review of the vault with a multi disc project of outtakes. but don't mix them

up anymore. it deminishes the value of both the new and the old. and i'm quite sick of it

to be honest.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway now you can commence to cut off my head

WHY? Your head seems perfectly fine to me! [img:$uid]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/SexyBeautifulOne/pat.gif[/img:$uid]

this will never happen!

I hope none of you will miss the rape scene in the song? We want him to leave that out because it is am immoral idea. We agree with that, right? And don't give me the Eminem excuse. Prince actually means it. Believe me, I feel it...

The whole dang track is an immoral idea. Hell Prince's whole career, rock and roll are all immoral ideas.

Methinks it is an outtake to Purple Rain, until Darling Nikki made more sense and was less immoral. It's also probably a diss at Vanity for dropping the movie.

Thank God that worked out or we would have missed a certain boob scene..lol

No. It was written and recorded in 1982 during the 1999/What Time Is It?/Vanity 6 sessions and was allegedly intended for the Vanity 6 album.

Certainly possible that he considered resurrecting it for Purple Rain (Sex Shooter was originally from the same sessions), but there's no evidence to suggest that.

Also I like Dr FB, he seems like a cool person and very reliable, but unless he purposely makes his blog posts vague then he really needs to practice writing better. The grammar, just everything about how he posts sometimes just upsets me.

It's semi-official, so it has to be spoken in Assholish.

The Org needs a "like" button, so I could "like" this post.
