Listened to 1999 today. Had to replace my old, scratched copy so this is the 4th purchase of that album & Controversy - vinyl, cassette, 2 cd's. Finally, Automatic & Do Me Baby all the way through w/o skipping!! ANYWAY, 2 questions I've always wanted answered:

• DMSR - P says "VanTITY 6 is so sweet" instead of "Vanity". He ain't stupid & there's more than one voice track on that, so he said it on purpose right? The whole 3 girls, 6 tits thing, right?
  
  
• Lady Cab Driver - @ 6:21, WHAT IS that gurgling sound? It always reminds me of somebody hurling. Maybe it's just water going down the drain, but it's not the most pleasant sound.
  
  
• Aside from the gun/bomb noises in Ronnie Talk to Russia on Controversy, was 1999 his first time experimenting with sound effects (baby girgling, water sounds, street noise) throughout an album?
  
  
• Now that I've repurchased these 2 albums, how much does P actually receive from that? If it's that $.07 cents shit, THAT'S JACKED UP.
  
  
• If Purple Rain is supposedly the "better" album, how come it's priced @ $9.99 (where I went), but 1999 is $13.99???

1999 is a double album

Just like when he hawked up phlegm in "Family Name".


A door being shut at the end of "Got A Broken Heart Again" on the DM album.


But then, 1999 is almost twice as long when it comes to time.

Supernova said:

THIS! is for the cab you used to drive..."

Supernova said:

CO-SIGN!!

Supernova said:

TRUE, I always forget that in this CD age...

Supernova said:

Actually, that doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather listen to loogie's being hawked than hurl...

CalhounSq said:

RE-SIGNED!!

CalhounSq said:

I like it all.

Supernova said:

So I guess the coughing on Raspberry Beret & throat clearing on I Love You But I Don't Trust You Anymore just send you, huh?

CalhounSq said:

It's all very idiosyncratic of Prince. That quirky type of stuff is partly what makes Prince Prince.

Supernova said:

I agree. I can still do w/o the hurl noises, though.

Calhoun my dear all I know is that he sounds like he is fucking the Shit out of that woman in LCD and he's Mad and Aggressive while he's doing it like Yeah,this is for and that is for and she's like screaming and like moaning and it's also like mad Wild in this song. It's just a Fucking Awesome song and Very Sexual,but then the Whole album is Sexual and the picture of the Penis on the cover and Prince inside on the bed with his Booty exposed. This is my favorite album of Prince's it's the Best one in my Opinion. It actually won him title of HIS ROYAL BADNESS. The album is one that should be played at every Party and every Orgy. Prince can Drive you to Orgasm in his Little Red Corvette While Pretending You are Married to Him. It's just Fabulous,Fabulous,Fabulous! It's the Cherry on top of the Pie!

CalhounSq said:

Can't say I don't understand.

Natasha said:

Gotta love the way Natasha explains certain things. Just gotta love it.

And that picture on the inside sleeve is subliiime.

CalhounSq said:

i had always assumed that it was the lady cab driver gargling some scope or something to remove the taste of prince's ... because it comes directly after the part where he's ing her... just my take on it...

OK, channel surfing just now I came across Girl 6 on that gawd-awful BET.

Natasha said:

Gee, thanks Nat, I would have never figured that out. :O BTW, have I mentioned your true "stalker" status is quite unnerving???

I forgot to add Calhoun you do Know 1999 originally came out as a 1 vinyl record right? You knew that . Different cover you know Prince in a Raincoat. quite interesting. I am glad he released it in America as a 2 vinyl set. Weird how the cd ommited DMSR one of the best cuts for time allowances. Well,now it's back on where it should always have been .

EllisDee said:

So you think he pulled out & came in her mouth??? Hmmm...

Natasha said:

Nope, never knew that. I'm not as schooled as you are, which is probably a good thing!

Natasha said:

Calhoun you just Love saying I'm a stalker don't you? You should get over it! I seriously think you are a Stalker to keep saying that. Also,you certainly have an Attitude Problem and Serious Issues cause you are very Nasty! Get over it! You should stop being Snotty in your responses. It's not Funny and quite a Turn-Off!

Natasha said:

You wanna OrgNote me real bad right now, don'cha???

CalhounSq said:

prince is a nasty ass fellow, so there really ain't no telling... but it would ruin the whole vibe of the song if one of them is barfing after the sex...

the music starts to mellow out a little bit to where it's just the bass and the drums, and it makes me think that the sex is over... and then i hear what sounds to me like someone is gargling... so, i assumed that she was trying to get rid of the aftertaste... unless it was him trying to get the smell of off his breath... but it just sounds more like a chick to me...

and he wouldn't be the first guy to pull out and let go like that... besides, in "international lover" he did say that he would give her diamonds and pearls (pearl necklaces, perhaps..?)...

Natasha said:

am i the only one who doesn't exactly get this...?

EllisDee said:

TRUE...



I love that you can hear something female in that sound, lol!



Very true... I guess I'm looking for a difinitive answer that I'll never get...

EllisDee said:

NO, you're not the only one!!

CalhounSq said:

i've heard some pretty strange sounds come from females, so i don't even question these things anymore...
