Name Your Favorite "OWWA!" By Prince

But before u do; what Prince song has his last, "OWWA"?

Ok, I'll go first. My favorite OWWA is a toss up between Cyber Single or Life "O" The Party.

Your turn...

Sexuality, yeah, I forgot about that one. Good pick.

What are those banana's doing, it's blurred out?

I don't know about favorite, but the first one I thought of was Eye No.

Not something I've ever thought about. I'm not thinking about it now. I will say I cherish it even more though.

Yep. That's my fave. It's so crisp sounding.

The three best are "Sexuality", "Eye No", and "Gett Off" at the beginning.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R.

"Sexuality" for sure

"Da Bang" also had a pretty decent, underrated one. Nice high pitch to it.

Except that's not Prince doing the Gett Off scream. It's Rosie slightly sped up, as confirmed by Rosie.

Nope. The opening of "Sexuality" predates that.

IMO, there's a scream-y lyric in "Sister" that is the preface to the OWWA! scream he's sorta known for. "Oh motherfucker, she's a motherfucker, can't U understand?" is the line.

But... there's also a slight bit of this in "Gotta Stop (Messin' About)", which predates Controversy album (which was released at the end of 1981; GSMA was released in the spring). For me though, it's "Sexuality". It's so bold and brash.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Glam Slam. Where it bridges the single part to the outro.

I LOL'd on that. Couple that with the scream in "Endorphinmachine" for two of the best loogies on vinyl.
