Bob George - Why? Spooky Electric Must Die.


“Camille set out to silence his critics. No longer daring - his enemies laughed. No longer glam, his funk is half-assed... 

Tuesday came. Blue Tuesday. His canvas full, and lying on the table, Camille mustered all the hate that he was able. Hate 4 the ones who ever doubted his game. Hate 4 the ones who ever doubted his name.

Tis nobody funkier -- let the Black Album fly. Spooky Electric was talking, Camille started 2 cry. Tricked.

A fool he had been. In the lowest utmostest. He had allowed the dark side of him 2 create something evil. 

2 Nigs United 4 West Compton. Camille and his ego. Bob George. Why? Spooky Electric must die.”




.....some years later stories started to emerge about Tuesday December 1st, 1987 and the preceding evening when Prince went to the club Rupert’s. He asked the DJ to play the new album and observed the responses of the people in the club.

The same night he met Ingrid Chavez. She is a poet, singer, songwriter and nowadays wife of singer David Sylvian. The two went to Paisley Park and had an intense conversation. Apparently Prince already had some doubts about releasing the album. Somewhere that night he decided against it’s release. The decision appeared to be made after experiencing some heavy hallucinations when using the drug Ecstasy. In what he has called a vision the letter G O D were hovering over a field. It made him realise that it was his responsibility not to release this dark and negative album to kids. 

He also didn’t want this album to be his legacy in case he died after the release.....

" MILLIONS NOW LIVING MAY NEVER DIE "


"So let’s kiss our dark sides; let’s f**k our dark sides. 

Get him down there where he belongs. 

And he can tell us stuff. 

Y’know, that thing’s useful."

GET BEHIND ME, SATAN

"I got 2 sides,
and they're both friends"

Prince,
My Name is Prince


Eye No



Rain is wet, and sugar is sweet

Clap your hands, and stomp your feet

Everybody, everybody knows
When love calls, U gotta go

(I Know
[repeated in the background]

([Listen, the soul of this song belongs 2 God])

Welcome 2 the Nu Power Generation
The reason my voice is so clear
Is there's no smack in my brain
Hundalasiliah

Ha na na-sha na na na na na na

I know there is a heaven, I know there is a hell
Listen 2 me people, I got a story to tell
I know there was confusion lightnin' all around me
That's when I called his name don't U know he found me

No! Is what Spooky Electric say, it's not OK
But I know love is the only way till my dying day
No - til my dying day I'll be OK
Cuz Lovesexy is the one til my day is done
Hundalasiliah

I know there is a devil because he talks so loud
He makes U do things that your friends do, hang out with the crowd
But my Lord he is so quiet when He calls your name
When U hear it your heart will thunder
U will want 2 hear it every day

No! (people) Is what Spooky Electric say (everbody say)
But don't U know that I know
Love is the only way, til my dying day
No - Til my dying day I'll be OK

Cuz Lovesexy is the 1 til my day is done

Hundalasiliah

Alright y'all, everybody in the house 
(serve it up, Frankie)

Here's what I want U 2 do:
Raise your hand up, straight in the air
Swing it 2 the right, savoir faire
Up on the 2, swing on the 4
Everybody on the dancefloor

Sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho
Sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho

Y'all ain't got it together
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead

Raise your hand up, straight in the air

(let's get it up, let's get it up)

Yeah

Say no
(say no) No - if U can't find your way - everybody say
(say no) No - if U're afraid, everybody ain't got it made
(Say no) - if U want a drug other than the God above
No - if U need a drink every single day...

Blow that devil away!

Say 'Yes'
Yes - if U want this feeling called love
(come on 'ya, say)
Yes - if U want it now raise your hand 2 the man above
(Yes) Up on the 2, swing right on the 4
We want everybody 2 open this door!

Say 'No' - if U don't wanna live life under the gun
(I know) We know a better way 2 have some fun
(I know) I know - there is a heaven and a hell
I know there is a heaven and a hell

[song breaks down into a crowd noise...]

Tell ya what...
Man, are we on the guest list?
Guest list? Guest list?
I don't see no 5 dollars U owe...
Ok
I'm gonna go to the car
I'm goin' home.
I'm gonna have one of them sandwiches.

[sleep] sandwich, that's right

I need the green three sheets.
That's right. (that's what I'm talkin' about)
A peanut-butter sandwich (her and her girlfriend)
(the one that was standin')

[D] (right next to my woman...)
(right next to my woman)

Let us praise God [E]

With the fruit of the vine ((My name's Andre Crabtree III))

Our [innocent] symbol of glory ((I've got more holes than a golf course))

And thank him 4 lessons
Of the past, for life, Prince... 
(I said who popped the question?)
