I think you're right about that one. Prince does more like a moan than a scream once the song starts rolling. I'll delete it.

Good one. I rarely make it through that song, so I tend to forget how it actually sounds.

Another good call.

I'm updating the list now. This is fun. biggrin

Thanks for the suggestions. I added a few more to the list based on your recommendations. Plus I'm listening to 1999 right now, and I heard an owawah in LPWM that I forgot. But more to the point, what I should have asked/said originally ...

Does anybody know of a definitive list of songs with Prince full out screams?

And if not, can y'all keep helping to build it? I'm sure there are lot missing from the list above.

Thanks!

I just love his screams, Baby your a trip is amazing one, the scream in Insatiable too and of course the scream in Electric Intercourse.

Not forgetting the one on Darling Nikki

There's also a weird part scream in "U got the look" after the line "I stand corrected" and it cuts away to Sheena in the Video and you hear this "Owwwww" in a high pitched voice, is it Prince or some woman? Anyway its hilarious and sounds like a cat meow.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

I love it! I have that version on a really tinny, hissy tape (Like a 5th generation boot) and it just sounds so raw. biggrin

Theres also some frenzied oh oohs and awwwsss on the 1987 version of "Wouldn't you love 2 love me" Thats the one with the tinny sounding late 80s keyboards and he is singing in a Camille like voice.

I love it, too!!! My all-time, #1 very favorite Prince track. Back in the day, I had this song only on the flip of the 12" Raspberry Beret. I was soooooo excited when The Hits/The B-Sides came out, only to find The B-Sides' She's Always In My Hair was this stupid, truncated version of the original!!! Never heard the Prince lead vocal on WUL2LM, just Taj. Is the rest really similar?

Nothing is tinnier than my jank-ass TAPE of Camille. Love my tinny boots, though!!!

It's Prince on both 'U Got The Look' and 'We Gets Up', and both are accomplished by actually inhaling instead of exhaling. The sound in 'U Got The Look' is classic Prince, and he's done that many many times. I've successfully imitated it... just for kicks.

Three more on unreleased jams

There's a huge yahhhhwwwwwahwww!!! in Possessed, the song in which he mentions a pussy getting wet!!!

And a great Owwawoow in the unreleased gem The Line, with Boni singing lead vocals with Camille.

And the song Turn it up also has a lot of muted screams as backing tracks and ohhwows etc
