Who had the best put-downs in this song?

Was it Vanity,who at one point in the song,actually says "That's how we like 'em....tall,stiff and ready...that's positively more than I could say for 'dead' Jimmy"

or was it Prince,who embarasses Vanity after she claims that she's dating his dad."Oh he died about 7 years back,now ain't that just too bad?"

but what about Brenda's part?! She shows no mercy in her bitchy put-downs!

"If I weren't a lady,i'd take my money and buy you a brand new face....then I'd take my underwear,stick it in your mouth,and you'd love it cause you got no taste"

I pick Brenda...her lines are outrageous!!

Brenda is the coldest.

Definitely Brenda . Hey tramp take a bath in puke!

She definitely upped the ante with a verbal threat of violence!
"What's more, you can kiss where the sun don't shine / if that don't work, we can duke"

what's funny about the song is...

when Vanity makes the phone call,she and Brenda presumably don't know who this person is....yet Brenda later tells him "None of my friends can stand the sight of you"

Very silly song but A LOT of fun!!!

this song!

this song is funny - & funky.

that (slap) bass line is 1 of Prince's best.

in my opinion, Brenda has the best line : "you see the only kind man that would play with you is one that plays with himself.."

But really, how good is this whole album? 3X2=6 = .

^^I think this album was really ahead of it's time.The song were edgy and bold.....no girl groups were doing songs like this,back then

Pull out the CD,play it,and tell me I'm wrong

Vanity 6 - If A Girl Answers (Don't Hang Up) Lyrics

Artist: Vanity 6

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: R&B

Brenda, how are we gonna get 2 the party?
Call up Jimmy, he's got a car
And what if a girl answers?
Hang up

Hang up nothin', Jimmy says I was his girl
Honey, don't you know everyone's Jimmy's girl?
Brenda, I know better than anybody

Well, if a girl answers
Don't hang up, just talk about her
Yes, hello, this is Vanity
Is Jimmy home?

Yes, but he's taking a shower
Oh, I see
Did he just take out the trash?

No, that's somethin' he use to do
Now he's taking out me
Oh, I see, well, tell 'em
He left his pants over here last night

That's okay, you keep 'em
He won't be needin' 'em 2 night
Oh, what's the matter
Is he going swimming?

Why no, we was gonna go
But he said he did that last night
Well sugar, I know about a great party
Why don't you bring us your car?

So sorry baby, but I never go to singles' bars

Singles? Is that what you think?
Tramp, I'm datin' your dad
Oh, he died about 7 years back
Now ain't that just too bad?

Well, that's how we like 'em
Tall, stiff and ready
That's positively more than I can say
For dead Jimmy

That's because he was swallowin' vitamin E
Now he's swallowin' me
Oh, you mean you were swallowin' him
Why don't you just tie a mattress to your back?

I'm gonna need it 'cause if I ever see your face
I'm gonna fall and have a heart attack
All that's gonna fall is the wig off your head
Now what you think about that?

I think I'd rather wear a wig
Than run a motel for roaches, ants and lice
Dogs and cats in my hat

Hey, that's goin' too far
Here, give me the phone
Hey tramp, take a bath in puke

What's more, you can kiss
Where the sun don't shine
If that don't work, we can duke

You see, the only kinda man
That would play with you
Is one that plays with himself

None of my friends
Could stand the sight of you
Much less the smell
And if I weren't a lady
I'd take my money

And buy you a brand new face
Then I'd take my underwear
And stick it in your mouth
And you'd love it
'Cause you got no taste

And if that don't work
Call back your dead daddy
And show him what you look like now
Honey, I'd bet he never come back

'Cause you one ugly cow
(Ooh wee)

Girl, you tell your boyfriend, Jimmy
He can go and get hit by a car
'Cause as far as I see it
He can't afford to bite the beat of this star

There's two things we can't stand
One's a jive talk man
The other's a jive talk man with no money
Can you dig it?

If a girl answers, don't hang up
If a girl answers, don't hang up
If a girl answers, don't hang up
If a girl answers, don't hang up

Don't hang up
Don't hang up
Don't hang up
Don't hang up

Don't hang up
Don't hang up
Don't hang up
Don't hang up

If a girl answers, don't hang up, don't hang up
If a girl answers, don't hang up, don't hang up

Don't hang up
Don't hang up
Don't hang up

Brenda's underwear line, of course...but Prince's "I think I'd rather wear a wig than run a motel for roaches, ants and lice, dogs and cats in my hat!" gets me everytime.

This was a fun album and love the Vanity 6 group

I thought this songs was done well live

It would have been cool if there was more of a stage drop setup, maybe Bobby Z or Brown Mark playing Prince's part

cuz u 1 ugly cow!

Brenda's underwear line. Brenda was always the coolest V6 girl(imo).

She would have made a great gang leader.
