Vanity 6 - Vibrator

Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd ask everyone's opinions on this song. The outrageousness of this song still amazes me, and really shows how "out there", ahead of his time, and damn well funny Prince was during this period. Hard to believe all the controversy Madonna courted during the "erotica" period, when P was writing songs like this back in the early 80s! smile

I have it on CD, and yes, '94 or so is about when I bought it. But I gotta believe u could still find it at a record store somewhere. As 4 the song "Vibrator", the best part is the dialogue!

AGREED.
Prince with that voice.. TOO FUNNY.
I think he's done that voice in enough other songs ("Chocolate" & "Do yourself a favor", off the top of my head) to do at least an EP of similarly-themed tracks..
I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..

It's not on any album.It is an outtake,recorded in spring 1983 for a second Vanity 6 album.Of course,Vanity left the Prince camp for a solo career,and "Vibrator" has never been officially released.It's a hilarious track,with very dirty lyrics and alot of attitude.I love it!

It must be my imagination,cause I know I didn't hear you laugh
you'd be surprised what I do when you're through,taking your "macho" bath
Unchartered water,sail with ease...land is always in sight
but with you,it's always "abandoned ship"
and we didn't even make it past the dock tonight...eat your heart out!

Vibrator...makes me feels so good
Vibrator...don't you wish you could?
Vibrator...his patience can't be beat
Vibrator...I guess you could say that you're obsolete
ha ha ha ha ha ha



lol sheer genuis!

Well stop believeing because youwont find it in a store unless someone sells a used one to the store. It has been out of rpint fo so long and there are so few of them that they never show up in stores. I found a used one in LA around 96 or 97. That is the last time I ever saw it retail.
