Play In The Sunshine!

"Play!" "No!" "Play!" "NO!" "Play!" "YEAAAAAHH!"

Best - endorphinmachine


Worst (by a mile) - the scream near the end of The Truth

The scream halfway through Crystal Ball when it breaks down into the expert lover bit (joke)

Cloreen Bacon Skin

Love all of the above. A few more come to mind - Do Me Baby, Rasberry Beret, Electric Chair, Baby I'm A Star, Computer Blue. Difficult as ever to pick a fave but will go with...sorry I'll have to go listen to them.

Definitely Gett Off, but I also love that little "No!" he screams at the beginning of Alphabet St.

Oh, and Vicki's in Batdance! Seriously though, have decided that I'll go with IT live (I gotta tell ya), or maybe SLOW LOVE live from the same film, or IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND, again from the same film. Oh hang on, I'm not so sure now

best scream had to come from "do me baby" very unexpected and wild!!!

runner up is "something in the water does not compute"

I like the one at the beginning of "Kiss", although that is more like a whimper like he is being ...nevermind

oh i know what you mean, its like a "uhh" more than a scream. I love that too. It sounds like he is about to ejaculate or something....

Great song.
Great scream.

how is it possible that no one's mentioned the scream toward the end of "international lover"?! that tops even "the beautiful ones" for me... oh my

Sexual Sucide

'Something In The Water....'

I've always been under the impression that the "Gett Off" scream was by the big yodeling sistafriend whats-her-face.

Can't believe I forgot homegirl's name...
Sang "I want you" and "Nothing Compares 2 U." (only song where she didn't annoy me)

Gosh! Not Boni! Not Mavis!!!

Oh, heck!!!! What's her name???

Rosie Gaines!!!


I knew I'd remember after I hit "send."

The Truth from Crystal Ball... I just bought it on eBay...

Ok not his best but it is the most naked you will find. There is no processing on it what so ever. Just him, his guitar and an light electronic sound. I honestly don't know how he does it. It really is incredible. He started the screaming shit on Purple Rain, Right? He must have figured out around that time. It's like he turns his vocal cords inside out. Crazy!

I know a lot of people have said they don't like The Truth CD but I'm diggin' it, nice and raw, another side...

One of my favorite things about Prince is his ability to scream. I think my favorite screams change daily but some of my favorites are:

Do Me, Baby
D.M.S.R.
Free
International Lover
The Beautiful Ones
1999
Little Red Corvette (12 Inch)
Let's Work (12 Inch)
Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)
Temptation

It's hard to describe but two of my favorite screams are on "Do It All Night" and the screams at the end of "When Doves Cry". These screams have a different sound in his voice than than songs I listed above.

My favorite album is "1999" for the style of music it has but now that I think about it....I think it's the album with the most screams also. Maybe that's another reason I love it.

I tell you what's NOT my favourite Prince scream. It's close to the end on "Call My Name" - it just sounds like he swallowed his own tongue. Definitely not his strongest vocal moment.

The song "God".

Gotta b Beatiful Ones

What about Interactive, love that scream too.

Friend: "Hey Prince..Tom Jones just redid Kiss"
Prince: EEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

Has to be BEAUTIFUL ONES....darling nikki ranks up there as well.....

theres others here with us - always touched me, the ascent into it and back down again.
no instrument could portray that kind of emotion.

gotta broken heart again - off the vegas dvd, never thought he had still in him.

Damn, only ONE person mentioned at the end of "Now". I can't say it's my absolute favorite scream from him, but it's damn sure up there, and I just wanted to give it a little bit more love than what it's been getting in here, I see.
