...The first instrumental bit, with the off-key piano plonking and fat guitars...Prince is talking underneath, I can just about make out "Ur something else" and what sounds like a robot being tickled

any uber-fams out there privvy to this info?

@ the robot being tickled!

I don't know, but I'll listen to it and see if I can hear it.

It's the "dearly beloved" intro but in a more deep spoken voice and said more quickly.

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here 2day 2 get through this thing called life
Electric word life, it means 4ever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell U there's somethin' else
[Did that hurt U?] {x2}
The afterworld
(That's right)

Yeah, that is what I am hearing.

Aint go a clue, pal. However that is perhaps he funkiest part of the song. That, along with the Rhythmical breakdown part.. Man, makes me just wanna apply some guy-liner and snap my fingers above my head whilst silouhetted in front of a house lamp.

Ya'll need to reverse this spoken part and listen to it backwards. There's something else alright. Something about "When I was a ^%$*@!, there was a girl named Stella".

B-guitarist, i'm gonna try that. I know you've mentioned this before, and I've reversed it before and really couldn't hear anything, but I will try it again, using the beginning intro, since it's more isolated. I'll let you know what I hear.

1nonly said:

Yeah, the beginning intro is where is where it's located.

blackguitaristz said:

Which part needs to be reversed? Which spoken part?

I reversed it and still can't make anything out. What exactly am I listening for. I hear something that could be mistaken for "Styellllla" maybe stella? But that's about it. It makes it even more difficult since that part of the song is echoed when played forward. So what is prince supposedly saying in reverse?

Basically what I first posted. I'm not going to print out a word that he says cuz it's offensive. But listen for the part when he says "and there's something...the afterworld." After he says that, reverse it and listen.
