I believe around '86.
Scratch that, I'm reading 1994 but it sounds earlier lol [Edited 12/15/10 14:46pm] | |

Yeah, he recorded it for the soundtrack for PCU which came out in '94.
Probably one of the best Prince covers, IMO.

I hadn't seen/heard this. Thanks.
I seem to recall Prince in an interview saying he went to a George Clinton concert and afterwards went straight home that night and wrote Erotic City. | |

I've always hated this cover. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

It's not bad, but it's sooo like the original, which is... better.
I love both versions thank you very much. | |

As I've said before, I love the instrumentation of Erotic City, just not the lyrics. George Clinton's instrumental is the one I have. Haven't seen Prince's instrumental version anywhere. | |

I don't care for profanity, but I can ignore it if I like the song. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Yeah one of the pay movie channels is currently showing it. I remember seeing this crazy movie back in 95 and i remember George breaking it down. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

I can do that too...with some songs:) I'd rather not have those lyrics stuck in my head though. Although, needless (or needful) to say, I know what some of the lyrics are, so when I hear the instrumental, the lyrics are there in my head anyway, I just don't sing them. I guess I'd rather not hear them out loud. LOL. | |

Dope cover, I'd never heard this before. Damn Itunes doesn't even have it Lady Cab Driver is one of the greatest songs ever! | |

. Where can I get it???I've had this since it was released. Love both versions, actually sound very similar to me.  | |

I used to think George originally did this track.
I don't like the bass patch on this version.
You're so glam, every time I see you I wanna slam! | |

Amazon's got plenty of copies....but it's not hard to find. And the 7:00 mix is better (Extended Sweat Mix)

I never really got how Erotic City was supposed to be a GC inspired song, personally, but George does sound at ease doing a faithful rendition.
Kind of pointless, as it's a lot like Prince's version, but it sounds okay. My Legacy

I've always loved George's cover of "Erotic City". Normally, I don't like it when artists do cover songs that were originally done by other artists (even Prince) . So for me to actually like it is a HUGE compliment! RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
