I tell you what. The Lords Prayer chant in the middle of "Controversy" was spooky to me. It's just weird how those voices sounded.

The Question Of U

ThePunisher said:

True, Controversy

HANDS DOWN! - The end backward track of Darling Nikki:

"Hello, how r u? I'm fine. 'cause I know
that the Lord is coming soon, coming, coming soon."

it's about being completely depressed with no hope for the future, it makes the sex a desperate thing.... I rememeber even prince described it in his online liner notes as a deep funk, and that's funk of this kind:

funk1 (fŭngk)
n.
A state of cowardly fright; a panic.
A state of severe depression.
A cowardly, fearful person.

v., funked, funk·ing, funks.
v.tr.
To shrink from in fright or dread.
To be afraid of.
v.intr.
To shrink in fright.


crystal ball - sees the future

Expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?
Expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?
Ooh, expert lover, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?
As bombs explode around us and hate advances on the right
The only thing that matters, baby, is the love that we make 2night
As little babies in make-up terrorize the western world
The only thing that matters, baby, is love between a boy and girl

Oh, expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?
Undercover, no maybe
All 4 fun and fun 4 all

I can't remember my baby's voice cuz she ain't talkin' no more
Only the sound of love and prayer echo from the yellow floor, yellow floor
Huh, she's sayin' – "Dear Jesus, save us from temptation
Dear Jesus, save us from hell
Save us from the madness that threatens us all
Can U hear us? It's hard 2 tell
In your name we pray"

Expert lover, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Undercover, no maybe
All 4 fun, fun 4 all

As soldiers draw swords of sorrow
My baby draws pictures of sex (Yes, she does)
All over the walls in graphic detail - sex!

Everybody say it now
Expert lover, huh, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Under… undercover, ha, no maybe
All 4 fun and fun 4 all

Rip it, ouch! Uh

Expert lover, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Uh, expert lover, my baby (My baby)
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Crystal Ball
Expert

My baby, my baby, my baby, my baby
Kiss me, lick me, trick me, whoa!
Oh yeah, yeah
Come on, come on, come on, won't U come on?

Expert lover, huh, my baby
Have U ever had a Crystal Ball?

Don't U wanna?
What my drummer wanna say? {x2}
Yeah! Drummer
Tell me what the bass said

Yeah
Oh, ow!
Listen 2 my, uh, listen 2 my bass man play

(Alright) (Expert lover, my baby is alright)
(Alright) (Undercover, my baby is alright)
Listen 2 the guitar play
Hey! Wait a minute now
It's groovy
Ouch! Guitar, guitar
Come on now
Oh yeah!

My baby licked me fast
Her mama watch her gas
Come on, baby, do me fast
Come on, come on
Your mathematical gas

Uh
Ooh wee!
Darlin, darlin, U know U want a Cry…Crystal Ball
Crystal Ball

I don't know, I have 2 ask my mommy first

As bombs explode around U and hate advances on your right
The only thing U can be sure of is the love we make 2night

Expert lover, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Take off your clothes, baby
Come on, get the Crystal Ball

Oh, expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?
Come on, take off your clothes, baby
Come on, get the Crystal Ball

Come on!
Expert lover, my baby

temecula said:

Dinner with Delores? Really?

definetly Others Here With Us
I think Alice cooper needs to do a cover of it

Rhastus said:

That might be interesting.

Rinluv said:

Definitely.

'Annie Christian', Others Here With Us' & 'Papa'

I think Power Fantastic is spooky in a good way, I like the lyrics. But I cant listen to God late at night on my own, just the intro....very spooky.....Brrr!

Solo

thekidsgirl said:

How could i forget that one!

"There's others here with us" is my choice.

4nowneway said:

I agree with Solo. This was the 1st song that came 2 mind when I read this thread's topic.

Not only the lyrics, but the way it's sung. Many have dissed this song here @ the org, but it's some freaky-ass-spooki stuff.

Lyrics:SOLO

So low, the curb looks like a skyscraper
So high, the stars are under me
So quiet, I can hear the blood rushing through my veins
So low, I feel like I'm going insane
The angels, they watch in wonder
When U made love 2 me
Through the rain and the thunder
U cried in ecstacy

And U were so kind
I felt sorry 4 all creation
Because at the time, no 1 was lucky
no 1 was lucky, no 1 was lucky as me

And now U're gone and I just wanna be still
So silent, I'll just let my senses sleep

It's gonna be so hard 2 hear my voice
If I ever learn once more 2 speak

I'm so lost, no 1 can find me
And I've been looking 4 so long
But now I'm done
I'm so low, solo, my name is no-one

Oh, good that "Temptation" got mentioned. I wouldn't have thought of that instantly. "Big Fun" is rather spooky as well. In fact, Prince has written A LOT of spooky sounding tunes and most of them are great.

Others Here With Us I still get creeped out when I hear this

Averett said:

Yeah, that.

It's not spooky in a scary-kind-of-way, but I cannot listen to "Let's Have a Baby" anymore.

Some people mentioned Controversy. The music in that does sound like a score from one of those early 80's zombie flicks.

RodeoSchro said:

If we are going into the New Power Generation vein (Big Fun, etc), then might I add HALLUCINATION RAIN as a spooky little ditty from 1995? When I first heard it on the b-side cd single/cd maxi single of Get Wild (Ready to Wear soundtrack), Sonny T's spoken/sung vocals and that trippy wavering synth spooked me. Still today, it's a great joint to listen to.

"This is the way we make the rain, make the rain, make the rain ... "

Say baby, the soup tastes kinda funny
I don't know
My skin's crawling
It feels strange
Is this the same soup as usual?
Mmm, I don't know
It feels strange
Chorus:
Hallucination rain
Hallucination rain
Find another vein
Hallucination rain

I think this is gonna be the big 1
This 1's gonna last 5 minutes or more
This is gonna be the real 1
1 that's gonna make u look 4 the key 2 the door that leads 2 the alley
Where we did the last 1
This is gonna be fun {x4}

Chorus

This is gonna be the good 1
The 1 that makes all the books
This is gonna be the only chance we get 2 redeem ourselves
I'll confess if u do,
But here's the hook are u ready? {x5}

Pain, pain
Sweet laceration
Pain, pain
Hallucination rain
Pain, pain
Sweet laceration
Pain, pain
Hallucination rain

Hallucination rain {x4}

Definitely Papa. I shuddered the first time i heard it, the slap was somewhat unexpected.

Ye that one is starnge but also very relaxing. I love the full 11 minute version!

anniechristian1 said:

This song is one my favorites b/c its funky and forshadows the songs on the soundtrack album. I didn't find that spooky at all. Oh well different strokes for different folks.

LittleSmedley said:

Wow yes you are right! Both those song really kinda spook me. Have you paid attention to the lyrics of the Future? Creepy!
