"A very long pregnancy..." -Jill Jones

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

VERSE:
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

(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

-PrinceVault

Basic tracking for Prince's original version took place in 1982 or early 1983, most likely at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, MN, USA.

In early November 1983 the song was worked on further, when Jill Jones recorded her vocals for it. Clare Fischer's horn and string arrangement was added sometime in 1986 or late 1985.

Prince mixed the song on 30 January 1986 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California (on the same day as mixing With You, G-Spot and Baby, You're A Trip, and recording It's A Wonderful Day).

Well it still does belong to the 1987-1989 Prince & Jill Jones era (as per your thread title) so I figured it should be on that list too.

Do we know any other outtakes from that hypothetical second album?

Yeah I know, I did a previous thread on the 2nd album:Prince & Jill Jones 1989-1990

http://prince.org/msg/7/446425

this one is (it's how I keep it focused and not being all over the place) is about the events and music surrounding the 1987 released album.

Picks and Pans Review: Jill Jones

People Staff

July 06, 1987 12:00 PM

Jill Jones

Maybe Prince keeps finding new female protégées such as Vanity, Apollonia, Sheila E. and now Jones just to make sure there’s always someone to sing dirty to him. On All Day, All Night, Jones sings, “I watch as you make love to others/ Disgusting as it seems, it intoxicates me…/ My heartbeat accelerates and my mouth waters uncontrollably.” That lewd song is the weakest of three that Prince co-wrote and co-produced on Jones’s debut album. The others, Mia Bocca and For Love, have Prince’s banty rooster, rhythmic impetus. The man should bottle his remarkable ability to make all the instruments on a track sound percussive. David Z., who produced the rest of the album with Jones, gets a good horn sound but tends to overdo the strings. In a way Jones makes the same mistake with her voice, overindulging in pyrotechnics and histrionics. In a misguided effort to prove her versatility, she sings each song in a different character. There’s the herky-jerky Lydia Lunch delivery on Mia Bocca, the breathy Sheila E. soprano of G-Spot and the topper, a chiding Carmen Miranda-as-battle-ax tone for My Man. Jones may have talent, but it’s hard to find under her frantic ambition. (Paisley Park)

That's an interesting contemporary review alright, huh. This is my favourite ever Prince protégé album.

Yeah a bit harsh.

.

I've heard a good number of Prince fans express this about her vocal excersizes
.
But I think, like a lot of us have expressed, that if she had a more 'cohesive' album set in particular time frames connected to a Prince album ie Purple Rain ATWIAD or Parade, it would have had much more success.
.
The part about 'she sings each song in a different character' is kinda true because of that fact. So many songs spanning a wide time frame.

.

Jill wanted a a more 'mature' album too. I think a more cohesive album would have given that. Like Glamorous Life is a very mature cohesive album.

There is a lot of good music on there. Mia Bocca & G-Spot being 2 of my favorites, but Violet Blue being right up there, yet a very new song to the catalogue

I see it as an extension of the year, 1987, Sign O The Times - there ain't nothing cohesive about Sign o the Times 'cept it's brilliance. Similarly Jill Jones transcends the more limited (albeit still brilliant) earlier protege albums by not being stuck in a specific year or new studio sound.

ill Jones, Mia bocca Directed by Jean Baptiste Mondino

Mia Bocca(instrumental) appeared/was heard in the Prince movie Under the Cherry Moon during Mary Sharons' birthday party.

Jill's album is also the best protégé album

Throw Madhouse's "8" in there, and that makes for a perfect, vibrant, exciting, marvelous 1987 summer. Being a Prince fan in that year, you just knew you were going with the best pop, all the other artists were left in the dust, no matter what the charts said.
And if you had the chance to witness the concert, forget it, you're over and done.

Imagine having Dream Factory or/and Crystal Ball, and Camille with it.
"Stop, you're killing me!".

I have grown a strange sympathy for Warner's executives.
The guy comes up not with a handful of gems,
but the whole Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier and Bvlgari vaults. The Arsène of all Lupins.
You wouldn't even know where to begin, when it comes to market all this stuff.

Of course some more great music

.

but the year 1987, the ERA was not as great as the previous periods

.

Jill Jones period in 1987 was so disconnected from the SOTT/Madhouse scene, that she could have easily been a seperate artist like Deborah Allen -Telepathy Nona Hendryx -Baby Go Go Sheena Easton -Eternity or Kenny Rogers -Your My Love

.

like the 1981-1986 period Prince the Time Vanity 6 Sheila E the Family Mazarati etc were intrically woven into the purple vision and direction. Which made those period so grand. When it ended in 1986 and changed, the 'kingdom' felt so much smaller.

With Lovesexy is shrank even more because Madhouse as a band only did a few off night shows
.
I wish JJ appeared with Prince's bands more often, maybe opened for the SOTT show sometimes, Prince appear with JJ on some shows like he did with the others.

This is true, and a real pity. Jill says she had beg an executive at WB herself to front the money to shoot the video for Mia Bocca and it only happened because he felt a bit sorry for her. They then promoted her a bit in Europe so it seems Prince wasn't being much help with it all.

Meanwhile Prince toured Europe with the SOTT band, but there was never any crossover? Bizarre. Was she part of the entourage on the tour or was she flying to Europe to do those tv shows completely separately? I don't have the info on when those tv shows were shot.

It's a real shame as there's obvious connections musically in what was going on on both albums.

wow. Prince must have been in a weird space at that time. Well he was still dealing with the end of an era and such 'culture' shock within his kingdom. WALLY

Yep it was Rob Dickens UK Warner Bro exec who put money into Jills career to tour Europe

.

The SOTT tour started and ended so quickly May June and it was over mid July(when they recorded the SOTT movie) They did 1 show in August @ Paisley Park then in Sept the MTV awards show and a show @ Ruperts in Minniapolis

.

she was a part of his Hard Life Misdirected Film by Prince

.

Then Jill Jones 'tour' of Europe started in September. She did open for Jody Watley in the US but she didn't last long doing that. Prince's response to her after she was over it was a bit harsh. Interesting Prince's ex-bandmate producing Jody is killing it on the music and pop culture scene from 1987-1990 while Prince's protege was opening for her and floundering

.

She said that he gave her one of those heart wristbands to wear during her shows and appearances but she wouldn't.
.
I think if you don't 'believe' in what Prince is doing he is disconnecting from you.

Come Elektra Tuesday is an unreleased song recorded on 26 May 1985 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California

The song features Jill Jones on background vocals.

-Prince Vault

She got a movie star attitude the girl can't hide
Jean Harlow n her prime
Looka here
She got a spooky kind of half-moon look n her eyes
Scare a sane man out of his mind
She... she put U n a trance with the scent
Becomin' like a dog n heat
Ow
All the men that touch her came and went
1 kiss but at her feet
Ow

I can't stand a hour away from ur hips
Come Elektra Tuesday ur tongue on my lips
I don't need a vacation, ur love is a trip
And I think my personality about 2 flip, hit me

We got the night
Oh
I got the feelin' n my socks, baby

Listen 2 me
She drive an Aston Martin n violet and white
Sometime she let me washed it down
When it get 2 clean it still smelled like Tuesday night
Babalú when Elektra's around
Fascination will take U when she lay U up on her chest
Maybe Monday-long, hello the Elektra, U the best
But I got 2, I got 2, I got 2 get it on Tuesday, baby
Cuz Friday, huh, that's a little 2 long
Hey

Come Elektra Tuesday, Friday 2 long
Don't U make me wait, don't do me wrong
Uh

Come Elektra Tuesday, Friday 2 long
Come Elektra Tuesday, don't U do me wrong
Come Elektra Tuesday, I want U so strong
Come Elektra Tuesday

Come
Tuesday
U gotta, gotta
I wanna talk a little bit

Her body's so long, I climb it at night
N the hopes I 1 day reach the top
I'll suffer alone 2 know what frightens U
Until that day, till that day I... I won't ever stop

Come Elektra Tuesday
Come Elektra Tuesday
Body much 2 long, I got 2 have U 2night (Come Elektra Tuesday)
I got 2, uh, I got 2 have U 2night (Come Elektra Tuesday)

Hey
Ooh
Come Elektra Tuesday
Till Tuesday
Tuesday
Tuesday

I remember a 1987 article/interview on Jill Jones where she said that she would be the opening act on Prince's SOTT tour.That would have been great exposure for Jill,but unfortunately it never happened.
