AUTOMATIC (PRINCE SONG)

"'Automatic'" is a song by Prince from his 1982 album, ''1999''. It was released as a 7" single only in Australia, with the B-side of "'Something In the Water (Does Not Compute)'".
A promotional music video was produced for the song that features band mates Lisa Coleman and Jill Jones whipping Prince in a simulated S&M session. The video was not released through conventional outlets but circulates amongst collectors.
"Automatic" was a featured number during Prince's 1986 ''Parade'' tour. The song was part of a mini-''1999'' medley consisting of a short instrumental segment of "Lady Cab Driver", "Automatic" and a very brief "D.M.S.R.".
