What's the big deal about Jill Jones' "All Day All Night"? I've seen Prince cover it several times, and to be honest, it's a bland song at best (YES, IN MY OPINION, BEFORE YOU CUT MY BALLS OFF!)

I got her record when it came out, and again, IN MY OPINION, "For Love" is a MUCH better jam - lyrics, groove, etc.

lyrics, (for thems of you that didn't get it)

"For Love I would suffer kisses from another
if that was what turned you on
For love I have done less, and still felt the best
when I'm with you nothing is wrong

I would tie you with a chain if that would put you
in the frame of mind, I think so too.
I want you so badly, don't you know I'd gladly
give my life for loving you"

Do Most anything for love...

whereas, All Day All Night ... I just didn't get that one - it sounded MUCH more like a throwaway song. So I'm curious, what's your thoughts on these two?

For Love

For Love is one of my favorite tracks on her album.

My point exactly, sorta. Why do you think he's covered (or, uhh, performed, since it's HIS song...) All Day All Night?

Oh I much prefer All Day..I think the vocals and instrumentation are much better on this one,the only part of For Love that I really love is the sax solo.

Pffoei hard choice..i guess For Love

But Baby ur a trip..is even better

I played it more then Sign of the Times..since it came out about the same time. To many weak songs on Sign..but JJ is great in all.

For Love sux!!!

All Day All Night by Jill Jones dowsnt even compares 2 the boots!

Both are Average at Best to Me I think "Violet Blue" Whips both of them in a Breeze.but of the two "For Love" because "All Day/All Night" has that Vamp that He wore out during 83-84 on better Songs IMHO.it would work better Live as a Jam than a Album track IMHO.

"For Love", although I prefer "Baby U're a Trip".

Vivir asi es morir de amor.

For Love is the JAM!

And people say the Revolution (W&L) weren't funky!

But, All Day, All Night is such a sexually charged song. Jill's delivery of the lyrics and her screams and yelps added to the pulsing music - it's quite an erotic kaboodle.

I neva heard Jill's version of Baby, You're A Trip but I don't think its betta than the original.

Oh please! All Day All Night... Hands down.

It's the kind of song you play when you're doing 100 mph on the freeway.

BOTH/ALL

All Day, All Night is a hot track, in fact it's one of my favorite Prince boots.

"for love" i haven't heard and i have p's version of "all day...", which is cool.

At the time, "For love" was the jam. But listening to it recently it hasn't aged that well. Just sounds a little dated now. Violet Blue is my current favorite of her stuff.

All Day All Night...

All day all night

because of the line:

'when i'm in your arms i feel like play-doh'

"Mia Bocca" has one of the best opening lines ever :


"I have only had one lover since I was 12 years old"

Could somebody please explain this song to be? What is the meaning? I know that the phrase "mia bocca" means "my mouth".What exactly is Jill planning to do with her mouth?!

That's easy between these two:

For Love - on the album

All night, all day - when played live


But Violet Blue tops both
