SCREWDRIVER SHOULD BE ON PLEC ELEC! - Anyone agree or not?

I really think it would have been the icing on the cake..the remix version is fab. Maybe it was too similar to Marz?

Could be, but I think it would've fit nicely as well. I may make my own mix with screwdriver in it.

Is it not on there because it was released already by Purple Music?

I totally agree, it should have been there alongside Live Out Loud.

The Purple Music release couldn't have been a problem since prince owns the masters.

Luckily we can burn a CD for our listening pleasure with anything we want on it.

It should have a subtitle

Maybe the corny intro from the Screwdriver video would fit before "Boytrouble" Hmm.

What are you outraged about today? CNN has not told you yet?

I was really hoping for it, as well as Let's Go Crazy reloaded.

It's too much of a novelty song, like Horny Pony or Work That Fat. Midnight Blues would be great, or Let's Go Crazy, I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

Never liked that song, glad it´s not on it. But then again, I´m not a big fan of the PE album and 3rd Eye Girl anyway. Love the AOA album though.

Yeah, it should have been. But he really should have a recorded a new version of it as the 3EG album sounds quite different on the album than what the "group" sounded like in the beginning. Shouldn't have taken more than a day to do it though.

This way yt's a pretty cool single curiosity in his discography though.

I might be in the minority, but I think Rock & Roll Love Affair holds up. I think it's a stronger song and I think it would fit here.

But yeah, I am surprised Screwdriver isn't on the album.

Rock & Roll Love Affair is a nice tune. Just not really very rock and roll. Prince seemed to be quite proud of it with all the remixes etc. It just wasn't THAT kind of song. Would have stood up as an outstanding b-side. It'd work as a killer accoustic tune.

Nope, not really. Screwdriver has been out for ages. That would have been the complaint of a fair few if it had been on PE. It made my version of the album though. replacing BOYTROUBLE.

Nah, I don't think so. I think "Screwdriver" is primarily a Prince recording. Other than it being a "rock" song, nothing sticks out as being quintessentially a 3rdEyeGirl tune...

Why are there so many threads on The Org exploring the "could have been" situations?

Screwdriver isnt on PE obviously, so its not really worth starting another thread asking the question.

I think these threads are fine. They're no different than asking whether Interactive should have been on TGE.
