Same, I really want to know what was supposed to happen. Maybe the storyline would of made more sense with the scenes that got cut out put back in?

I love threads like this. Just curious, Oldfriends....... where do you get all your images and articles/info from? Do you have a scrapbook or something?

Well I have collected photos and articles from way back in the early 80s when I became a hardcore fan. I remember buying a magazine that would cost $6 dollars just for a photo of Prince/ the Revolution, Sheila e etc

.

I gather my info over time, I have stuff stored online privately, I keep updating, a lot of fans of Prince and friends who know I a huge fan share stuff with me etc

.

There are other fans who have info online quote from them when I do use their stuff. I retype from articles or books, interviews etc

Love machine #1 (5:18) (lead vocals by Prince)

Love machine.

(chorus)
I've got the toys to turn your body out.
I got the noise to make you scream and shout.
The love machine take your body higher.
Cuz if it don't, then I know you're a liar.

Don't lie. You want some head that'll make you cry?
17 tongues licking from the neck down.
Moving in a quick speed, circular motion, round and round.
I said it, round and round. Like you like it. I lick it like you like it.

(repeat chorus)

Don't bathe. The love machine cleans it with a little faith.
Like a car wash spittin' out soap and oil.
There ain't never been a cleaner girl in the whole wide world.
Turnin' into your pussy's psyche.
Dial a perfume that you like. The love machine will put it on you right.

(repeat chorus)

Hey yeah! Love machine. Hey hey yeah! Love machine.
Hey yeah! Love machine. Hey hey yeah! La... love... la, la, Love machine

Tunin' into your pussy's psyche.
Turnin' In, Turnin in, La, la, la, la, Push it.
Put it on you right.


Love machine.

Fast or slow, like a Leslie goes.
If you want, I can give you complete control.
Over your climax and over mine.
The harder you come, the longer the time...
The longer the time it takes for us to come again.
Little fat rabbits in a hot sweat.
Specially designed to find the love machine.
Oh!
.... Oh!
You're...
.... You're mine.
mine.

Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! - Love machine.
Love machine...

When I need trombone, my dog is handy.
But when I need sax, I call Candy.

Love machine.
.... Higher.

Shall we say we're in Paris?
.... I don't know.
Shall we say we're in Rome?
.... We could.
Shall we imagine a menage-a-trois?
.... I'm too young.
Shall we imagine we're alone?
.... What can I say to that?
Shall we dream of each other naked?
.... Shit.
Shall we get undressed right here?
.... I dunno.
Shall we do this thing by the books?
.... What are you doing to me?
Shall we give in to our biggest fears?
.... Are you afraid?
Are you gonna dance with me?
.... Yes.
Are you gonna let me spin you around?
.... I might.
Are you gonna kiss me quiet?
.... Can't you hear me?
Are you gonna make love with sound?
.... Isn't that the way it's done?
Are you playin' the part of a shy one?
.... I am not.
Or are your inhibitions gone?
.... They are.
Are you afraid of the love machine?
.... Hell.
Or will you let me drink you 'til dawn, drink you 'til dawn?

I've got the toys to turn your body out.
I got the noise to make you scream and shout.
The love machine.

(repeat chorus)

Love machine.
The love machine.

Love machine #3 (3:34)

Love machine, hey yeah!

(chorus)
I've got the toys to turn your body out.
I got the noise to make you scream and shout.

Hey yeah!
What time it is? - Love machine!
What time it is? - Love machine!

Fast or slow, like a Leslie goes.

Over your climax and over mine.
The harder you come, the longer the time...
The longer the time it takes.

I'm not sure if that would make any difference, or sense Personally speaking, I like the look and feel of it. Almost always night & and all that neon - kinda like Gotham City.

What I'd like to see is ALL the usable footage put in the hands of profesionals!!

Same, thats why the movie is my favourite Prince movie. The atmosphere of it is really cool, the colour scheme too (if that makes sense) works great. Like, theres a lot of blues and subdued greys in the kids club and more redish pink in Morris's. Without trying to get all philosophical it, it just works really well because they reflect each character's personality off really well. The Kid is funnily enough- blue and melancholy for a good portion of the movie because of his dads death and stuff and Morris is very firey and wants his money. Even if the lighting colours weren't done on purpose it's still a clever trick.

Yeah It was shot sorta the same way of SOTT all in studio, which wasn't as much an issue, I think it's the story line for me overall. But yeah the look reminds me of the smokey neon lights of 1999 the dark streets of Purple Rain(movie) and the overload of color in studio of SOTT(the movie)

Yes, the film is set and stage. There's very few (if any) outside/location shots, even the outside bridge shots and the Glam Slam shot above are set. The production design is very similar to the early 90's set/stage stuff like TMNT and Batman (even though these still contain location shoots). I personally like the style of these films. I still remember sitting on the floor of my bedroom watching this for the first time on VHS in 1991 or 2 I think.

Yep, you can see he difference, the 1st one is a fake outside scene, the 2nd is a real outside scene

The Graffiti Bridge album cover actually arose out of my figuring, "I've got to get a job." I'd connected with Prince on the Lovesexy Tour and I was getting bit and pieces of work here and there. But, I hadn't solidified anything. I said well, that was cool, that was a nice ride, time to move on to the next thing.

Ha! Totally true, I was relying on memory, but these look more stage than I rememeber. There's definately an atmosphere in location shoot that can't be captured on a stage.

This one reminds more old Star Trek planet settings or a school stage backdrop

Yes something freeing about the natural atmosphere:Purple Rain, Under the Cherry Moon.

I think if he made it more like SOTT with a little more story it the studio setting would have worked.
