This is just an appreciation thread for the beauty of the song, and the video.
The couple getting married in the video are absolutely adorable...and I wonder if they truly are married, does anyone know?

A funny thing...When Musicology came out, and I heard the song...I tried dialing a whole bunch of numbers in my phone...1-800-Prince....Just trying to reach him...I thought Prince's phone number was somethin' real simple...like..1-111-111-1111 or 1-222-777-9999....I gave up after a week...but if Prince woulda answered, I would have said...Hi, just called to tell you not to advertise your phone number in your music...

Eye just can't stop writing songs about U
Eye love U so much
Eye just can't wait 2 get my arms around U
And feel Ur touch
If eye don't c U real soon babygirl
Eye might go insane
Eye know it's only been three hours
But Eye love it when U
Call my name



This is definitely one of my favourite Musicology tracks. I just love the chorus!

Love it!
If I don't see you real soon baby boy I'm gonna go insane.

I use to sing these words all the time when Prince was coming to town.

This song didn't grab me right away, but it's probably one of my favorites from that album now.


It's nothing new, but it's a very good version of this type of song that he does so well and so often.


I could do without the Homeland Security verse, though.

I how he takes a simple subject and expands it into something so extravegant "Call My Name"

i always loved this song too

I played this out when Musicology came out...

When I went to the concert we were locked out as (waiting for the concert to start...late as usual) and I heard him rehearsing it...he played it right before Purple rain....YES!!!!!

I bought my ticket for the Musicology concert 6 months before the darn show, so everyday I would just pull out my ticket and look at it and sing this song to it like a lovesick puppy I know- what a dork.

I called and screamed his name so loud at the Musicology concerts that I attended, I thought I might have permanently damaged my voice but instead I probably pemanently damaged eveyones ears!

Wasn't that great?

trying to call him for a week?! R U A stalker?

Dayclear said:

do you actually want to talk about this crazy ass topic

First off, I found myself intensely listening to the song "Call My Name"relaxing on eyes closed and feeling mellow, lost in thoughts. Once I saw the freshness, smoothness and all around crispness to the video "Call My Name" my eyes opened wide and said to myself, self, they did it again and this time they really really did it. Beautiful all around.

Yeah I was trying to call Prince...I'm a stalker, call the paper, come put me in handcuffs, u really are nieve aren't u theo...I love Mariah Carey, and I'm sure she could figure out that all I'd have to do is call Paisley Park if I really needed to reach Prince. U weirdo.

And...
