Pop Life...album version, 12" version, and the longer version...Please Help Me I am aware of the album version of this song and of the 12" version, but I recently obtained and even longer version of this song and am confused as to what some of the lyrics are. Can someone help me. Anyone have any 411 on this? [This message was edited Thu Feb 20 23:18:28 PST 2003 by BobGeorge999] | |

I expect you're refering to the UK 12" version, which is the full unedited version of the song (about 9 mins long, if I remember correctly). Towards the end Prince does a lot of ad-libbing, and a lot of the things he sings/says are difficult to distinguish. | |

U're right. It is about 9 min long. I love it. | |

If nobody posts the lyrics for you by tomorrow evening, I'll have a listen to it myself and have a go. | |

are all of those listed in UPTOWN or one of their books? They are usually pretty complete. If not, someone should write to them about it. | |

goes for 300-500. Is the long Erotic City
released on a b-side 12"? | |

I miss those extended mixes. The extra verses, lyrics and beats. I'm not big on the latest, tired remix method of throwing down a "disco" beat under the same jam. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

released on a b-side 12"? The long version of Erotic City is on the 12" of Let's Go Crazy. It was also made available on 2-track CDsingle as an A-side in 1989, coupled with I Would Die 4 U (extended version). | |
