yes, hot thing hit the pop charts in the spring of '88, just about a month before aphabet st. dropped.

langebleu said:

good on eyes wide shut by kubrick. now about that other director, NOT spike lee. any guesses?

BruceLee said:

here's your hint on the rolling stones question : altamont

fms said:

So, it was 'Hot thing'!! I said that in my first post

fms said:

I really don't know. I'm not a big Stones fan. Did they perform the ong that day or is it something to do with a stabbing?

Gimme Shelter - lyric: 'just a kiss away' (Lovesexy)

BruceLee said:

'Gimme Shelter' is the name of the Rockumentary of Altamont.

The director is Roger Vadim, the song named after one of his films is And God Created Woman.

The two songs in which Prince mentions Mahler are Good Love and (i think) I Hate U (remix).

langebleu said:

Does this song have the "Gimme Shelter" riff?

very good, people! sorry about the tough questions, but i think every one has been answered correctly. i think about stuff like this all the time! what's wrong with me?
lovesexy: just a kiss away, kiss away. i've always thought that riff was stonesy, maybe not from a particular rolling stones song, but could be.
roger vadim! good answer. never saw the movie though.
good answer on i hate u maxi!
y'all are tough!

6. prince mentions a particular film director in the liner notes to an album, then on his next album, he names a song after one of this guy’s films? Who is it?

This is baffling me.

I'm trying to think of film directors that Prince mentions in his liner notes. There's Spike Lee - but we know it's not him ... there is Tim Burton. but I can't see song that Prince has written named after a Burton film. He mentions Albert Magnoli but the same apllies to him as Burton, I think. ... and there's Prince himself ... that would be sneaky if it was Prince! So I'm struggling ... but I've not given up

langebleu said:

Damn - just seen the answer - kicking myself hard ... thanks for the quiz, fms.
