i think my eyes just rolled completely back in my head never to come out again. I know it's a Prince fan site... but....
plus this sort of negates just about anything you have to say about anything. Oh wait...where am I again? Sorry- lost my place for a minute.

Okay, can we please keep this from being a mudslinging match?

And can I just say that "Sweet Suite" is absolutely breaking my heart?

L4OATheOriginal said:

Man you're right keep them away from Funk. It has never been their strength.

I am even impressed with the demos on this one.. They are a wonderful addition to the album. Niagra Falls demo with the rain effect sounds really great. Excellent use of piano used throughout the album. The suite is hauntingly beautiful.

I could use lyrics to that

I remember thinking it was brilliant that I could order Girl Bros straight from the source, I was so thrilled to get emails from their staff
I LOVE how you can get an email saying new album is out, buy now, and have it within minutes - how it should be

ZombieKitten said:

Thanks!

Just imagine the wonder of hearing that for the first time if you are NOT in an English speaking country. When I heard it for the first time a long, long time ago I was

HamsterHuey said:

it's a camp fire song, loads of different versions of it exist
Here's a few alternative versions I found on the internet:


Flea
Flea fly
Flea fly flow
Cumalada, cumalada, cumalada vista
Oh, no no no not the vista
Eany meany decimeany ooh walla walla meany,
Exameany decimeany ooh walla wah
Beep billy oten doten bo ske watten dottin sshhhhh

A beat billy oaten bobin obo a boatin bobin obo a boatin bobin

As for translations, here's one:


Flea
Flea, fly
Flea, fly, mosquito
Swat 'em!
Calamine, calamine, calamine lotion
Oh, no more calamine lotion.
Itchy, itchy, scratchy, scratchy, got one on my backy, backy
Ohy, ohy, owwy, owwy, wish he'd go away
Quick get the bug spray, I think he went that-a-way-shhhhh!

And here's the only mention of Native Americans I cound find:


The "song" he refers to is actually a cheer (for lack of a better
word) that originated at Chesterfield Scout Reservation in
Chesterfield, Massachusetts (Great Trails Council). At Chesterfield,
the cheer is painted across the entire end wall inside the dining
hall as a single word. Please don't hold me responsible for exact
spelling - this is from memory! Here's the entire word:

"Otenbotenlittledotenittenbittenlittleditten-
ishbittledeotendotenbodoskedeetendottenwatatenchu!"

I think it's the Mohawk Indian word for "There's a skunk in the camp!"

wendy and lisa put some extra bits in it, it's so hard to sing along!

I love how Lisa put Waiting For Coffee on there; she does not make a note around 2:47 and I just love, love, love her voice going giggly right after.

HamsterHuey said:

yeah it's so cute I'm going to play that to the master. He is always seeking perfection when he records, and this is a perfect example of the gorgeousness in imperfection

Ow lawd. You said 'master'. Now I am picturing the outfits.

HamsterHuey said:

there is a pair of hand-cuffs on my bedhead that I am going to have to cut off, I can't get the key to work. A client dropped by today, and I forgot to shut the bedroom door. No wonder his eyes were so sparkly

ZombieKitten said:

Oh gawd, that's majorly funny. Just keep it there.

HamsterHuey said:

well for THAT client it's OK, he will give me heaps of work now. I must remember to close the door tomorrow when the lady from Catholic Education comes to visit

ZombieKitten said:

Say you torture yourself for the mercy of god.

OMG, we're thread jackers....


Oh wait, this is my own thread.

HamsterHuey said:

I think we need to move it to GD anyway, for safe keeping

I think Balloon's melody is haunting. I love that song because it gets better with each listen, and to have it float by again in sweet suite is just perfect.

i love icy music

"it looks so smaaall from heeeeerrrre...."

"I'm bad at the good...and I got it so bad, I'm sick of blurring the boys with the girls with the boys, just to say that I have!"

if it negates even one iota of what i said, then what's that say 4 the insistance that wendy and lisa can carry prince's jock strap? i dare u 2 watch the sign o the times, lovesexy, gold experience NPG bands and b honest with urself and say that wendy and lisa could ever b that funky or diverse.

i keep thinking about that video 4 waterfall and how LAME it was tho there were some good tracks on their 1st 3 albums, just one song from exodus blows everything that was "funky" away. i'm more inclined 2 belive the non bias people on this thread in their review of their album and even the "positive" reviews saying it's sort of in the continuation vein of girl bros. which was utter 4 me. so i approach this new album of theirs with VERY HEAVY CAUTION when i know there is better music from the likes of greazy meal, sons of the almighty

L4OATheOriginal said:

I guess in reality you like funk and nothing but the P funk...lol. Which is fine. Yeah - for what Prince does he has done it exceptionally well (mostly in the past as far as I'm converned..on record anyway) but I also like many artists who do nothing funky at all. And I think they are every bit as good at what they do as Prince is at what he does. The thing I keep finding is that you are comparing another artist to Prince, problem being that unless they are also treading similar musical waters it makes no sense. I'd say that is true of this album. It's not even in the same ocean which is fine by me, it's a big musical world. And some people will prefer this ocean over the one you're swimming in. Why is that such a problem?
And for the record - funky or "diverse" does not always make for what I want to listen too. Sometimes I just want to listen to what I find to be really great to my ears even if it's not the best players in history playing the hardest notes ever to be invented and a song that has the ability to change history.

And I can hardly believe you'd bring up video production quality on a Prince site....
