Backwards talk on Extended version Girl

Hey guys, maybe it has been discussed here but I can't find anything.

Since I've got an mp3 player for the first time (yes, I'm incredibly late) I was able to hear the extended version of Girl on my headphones. It's like hearing a totally new song, so many things that pop out.
I hear Wendy or Lisa saying/whispering things on the right but it's played backwards. She says quite a lot and I'm so so soooo curious what it is that she's saying. Is it something normal or is it something sexy seen the title.

Anyone ever had the chance to understand it?

Thanks.

backwards it's wendy repeating the lyrics but saying "boy" instead of girl

just use some software to turn the mp3 backwards and play it, like soundforge or cool edit pro

I know exactly what you mean, the song is super but longer is of course so much better.

You could say that about a ton of prince songs.
I dont think there is a short/edit/whatever version of a Prince song that i like more than the extended/long version of the same track.....if it has one.

All the horns and stuff can go on somewhere...I liked just the funk and the bass.

Turn up "Irresistible Bitch" too, you can hear him saying "irresistible bitch" interlaced with the drum track.

He samples "Controversy" and "I Wanna Be Your Lover" at the beginning of "My Name is Prince".

I have experimented with Boom, but the words are so low in the mix I am unable to discern what is being said. I can say that the sounds are very eerie -- I reversed it last summer around the time of MJ's passing and at the time it sounded like he was referencing MJ's death, unbelievable, huh?!
La, la, la
He, he, hee!

The backwards lyrics on Girl...is it really Wendy?

I always heard it was Susannah.
