The Dance Electric

It's been a long time since I've heard this song, so I downloaded it today...sounds good.
I thought this was Andre Cymone's song, but listening to it today, it sounds like P. It's it P's song and was this a b-side single..because I don't recall it being on an album?

Oh ok...P's vocals took over that track, because I don't even hear Andre. Was this on Andre's album that had the single 'Kelly's Eye?'

The Dance Electric demo is in circulation with Prince's vocals. It was never officially released by anyone but Andre Cymone.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Do you reckon that's Prince's vocals we can hear on the released version? I always thought it was a bit freaky how similar Andre sounded to Prince on that track.

This is really wierd, but I was just singing this song a few minutes ago. I think P sang on the original w/Andre. I would LOVE to hear the demo w/Prince's vocals. Anyone have it?

Since it appears that the one I downloaded it actually P's version, I could not even begin to say if Andre's vocals are similar to P's on that track because it has probably been 20 years since I've heard Andre's version....

I'm running a thread that's concerning this song. but for right now, it is a P song and it was on Andre's 1985 album. P's voice is on with A's. It was the first single off the album. Great song.

Yo.

This is one of my fav unreleased Prince tracks.

The "demo" version is all Prince.

I don't even listen 2 AC's version, which is probably mostly Prince.

According 2 the famous MTV interview (1986?), Prince walked up 2 AC in a club, and said "I gotta hit 4 U" or something...

Peace.

No.."The Dance Electric" was on Dre's AC album (his third solo album), not survivin' in the 80's (his second solo album).

And "Kelly's Eyes" was off of his first album "Livin' in the New Wave".

Andre's version sounds better to me... His voice is so close to Prince's that it doesn't even matter that it's not Prince. Everything else is...with background vocals by Wendy & Lisa to boot. If you don't listen too closely you can't even tell razz Get Andre's and enjoy it...

You sparked a memory. Prince said in the '85 MTV intv."...I got this hit for you "Dance Electric," it's funky! It's funky! You better come on and get this hit! You know you need this hit. You're not crazy...I'm the one's who's crazy!" You know in that Prince humor voice he does...
