Coco Boys. Coco Boys. Isn't that the same intro as U Got The Look running through it?
Two listens I think I'm going to love it, but not sure.
What do you guys think. | |

It's a Synclavier II patch/sample carried over to one of the CMI Fairlight Series III sound libraries. . Also used on 'Make Your Mama Happy', 'Play in the Sunshine' segue on the SOTT Tour, etc. . [Edited 7/22/17 15:06pm] | |

also featured prominently on the first Madhouse album. In Eight, iirc. | |

Big Tall Wall beat. . Scatting, or instructions for Eric left in an unfinished work? Might he have done this on other tracks? . [Edited 7/22/17 16:31pm] | |

. Well, loose ideas for him to base his arrangement around, at a minimum. (Perhaps) [Edited 7/22/17 16:37pm] | |

I never really had any ideas or expectations for this song. I'm very pleasantly surprised that this is really interesting. | |

Now this is cool. I love this "neon" electric sound... Should've done a whole album like that, including the song 101. | |

Love this. I've wanted to hear it since reading PER Nielsen's DMSR nearly 20 years ago, and I'm not disappointed! | |

Phenomenal track. You can hear how it was intended for the movie. | |

Wait, you mean everybody wasn't doing the Kangaroo? We were doing it in the Ozarks in 1984, so I figured, based on the normal pattern, that it had been popular around late 1981 in the big cities. I thought Prince was either behind or being ironic in promoting it later. I never thought to look it up until now, but, yeah--doesn't look like it was a thing anywhere else. Huh. Strange.

It's a cool track, kind of eerie sounding. Trying to wrap my head around the song because the lyrics don't quite make sense to me. I can definitely hear the synths from UGTL and beat from Hot Thing. Around 3:00, it sounds like he is rapping. Maybe he was experimenting with rap on this track? This is most definitely SOTT era.

Jeebus Bleeps I love this song. Sounds even better W/ head phones. Along w/ 101 these are the two that struck me the hardest, this makes my classic list . | |

The bassline is a close relation to the one on Sign 'O' The Times. | |

Well I have my nose buried in this book so I might as well share.
This number was written for The Dawn, a short-lived film project from 1986, planned as a musical concerning two rival bands, one of them called The Coco Boys. Mazarati's Tony Christian describes The Dawn as "a black West Side Story-type musical, starring two bands, rivalries, fighting it out. I don't think Prince would have been in the movie, though. He would just be directing it." In addition to"'Coco Boys," Prince wrote Crucial" and "When The Dawn Of The Morning Comes" specifically for The Dawn.
.
also this:
Upon his rerum from the one-month Parade Tour of Europe and Japan, Prince threw himself into The Dawn, a new film project. Planned as a musical, The Dawn concerned two rival bands, one of them caJled the Coco Boys. He recorded three songs for the project, "Crucial," "Coco Boys" (drum
.
and the last CoCo Boys bit: .
The song ["You're My Love"] was the first to be credited to the new Prince pseudonym Joey Coco, originally planned as the name of one of the Coco Boys members. [Edited 7/23/17 0:01am] Gimme some horns ... uh! | |
