I love the 1981' version of tick tick bang, it's so new wave and funky all at the same time. Whenever I listen to the song I can't help but 2 picture the video looking silmilar 2 the sexuality video, only wild and crazier Prince running around the stage in his little black binki briefs.

I never paid much attention to the lyrics before, until I heard this version and 2 me it sounds like Prince is fantasizing about coming on a girl ... I knew Prince had a dirty mind, but dayum, what can a sista say except, my little nasty mind is impressed... dayum now I gotta admit I do miss the Old Prince

Anyways what's ur guys take on the 81'outtake version?

(4 those who heard it)

4 those who hasn't here's the lyrics it's basically the same a lil different at the end

-----
Tick, Tick, Bang

Yeah, 1 2 3 4!

U're such a big tease
U get me all excited, all excited
And then U go home
I like 2 say "Please"
See my candle, wanna light it, wanna light it?
U like 2 say "No"

U're just a bombshell
If I ever get it, ever get it
There's no telling, no telling how long I'll last
Before I tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, bang all over U
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, bang, bang all over U
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, bang, bang, bang, tick, bang, bang!

Oh!
Oh yeah!

I can't concentrate
When I see your bang bang tick bang bang
I just wanna bang
I wanna masturbate
Baby girl, it ain't the same, it ain't the same
As the real thing

CHORUS:
U're such a bombshell
If I ever get it, ever get it
There's no telling, no telling how long I'll last
Before I tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, bang all over U
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, bang, bang all over U
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, bang, bang, bang, tick, bang, bang!

Ooh yeah!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Ow!

U're like a wet dream
No matter how I try 2 fight it, try 2 fight it
I just tick, bang
I scream
See my candle, wanna light it, wanna light it?
I just wanna bang

CHORUS

Come on!
Oh yeah!
Faster!
Oh yeah!
(Come on)
(Come on) Oh!
(Come on) Oh!
Oh yeah!

I totally agree. Vomit City is the GB version The '81 version I kinda like but it doesnt totally make me 1 get down on it. Wouldnt U love 2 love me..now thats a tune I like!

OK...so this post finally made me track down this release and I'm in love with it!!

It sounds like it's straight off Dirty Mind and so damn funky and cool - imagine hearing this song back in 81! The boy was on his game

i still believe 1980-1987 were the most creative prince years.





.

OMG,,the GB version was sooo embarrissing I neva even had the intrest of listening 2 81's version. But daymn, after listening 2 it I was mo' upset cuz he ruined the released version.

It was funky and wildly driven

I disagree. I like the GB version.

The 81 version is great, but I think the GB version is listenable.
