Apollonia 6

Apollonia 6 had one of the great 80's debut albums taken off them by the man who almost gave it to them in the first place: Prince.

The ultimate Apollonia 6 album had the following tracks: Take Me With U (used on Purple Rain), Manic Monday (given to The Bangles), 17 Days (used as the B-side to When Doves Cry), Glamorous Life (given to Sheila E), and Sex Shooter. Considering that Apollonia was also the female lead in the hit movie Purple Rain the hype around this album would have been huge. As it was the band only got to keep Sex Shooter.

I'm a sex shooter shootin love in your direction
I'm a sex shooter come on play with my affections
come on kiss the gun

Let’s not go down the road of exploring exactly what is meant by people shooting “love” all over the place.

Before we continue with the Apollonia story we need to go back a step to Apollonia 6’s forerunner.
