So I have 2 questions for you guys...

1) These songs he's playing down under "Hot Pants" and "Life of the party"... are they covers or new songs?

2) At the celebration 2002 he played this acoustic song generally referred to as "Telemarketer Blues" Is this the official title or just a figment of a bootleggers imagination?

Anyone?

Boris?

I suppose it's James Brown's "Hot Pants" ...
That a godddamn classic!

Go and discover the Funk-classics!!

Concerning your first question;
I've heard the first song is a James Brown jam (I'm not familiar with his work, so I could be mistaken...), the latter is said to be a new song.

So this adds to my list for the 'new album'

Musicology
Reflection
U Want Me
Life O' the Party

We'll know soon enough I hope (Where is love2thenines2003 when you need him?...)

Do you guys know that"Whole Lotta Love" is a Led Zeppelin song?

Cold Sweat is a James Brown one (yes, Trojan Horse)
I'll take you here is a Maple-singers one?
Skintight is of the Ohio Players?
Brick House of the Commodores?
I don't want nobody ... of James Brown?
Red House a Jimi Hendrix one?
and so on .. and so on ...

There's more than Prince in this world

'Brick House'... wasn't that a Mayte song?...

MartyMcFly said:

I've not seen any verification that this is the official title.

Uptown referred to it originally as 'Some people Call Me Crazy / Guitar Playin' Man (Jam)'

It was first played on June 24th (although it has been performed since). It could be that the title has been seen in his songbook or on a setlist, although this is by no means an accurate guide because 'U Want Me' was entitled 'U And Me' in both the songbook and a setlist last year.

(Strangely, and quite probably coincidentally, a song entitled 'Telemarket Blues' was registered with the Library of Congress on June 27, 2002, but not in a name ever known to have been adopted by Prince)

Without wishing to jack this thread (which is why, for the most part I've responded to the questions raised, I've specifically sought clarification later on this forum as to whether 'The Life Of The Party' is a Jackson 5 cover.
