Someone needs to mix that song in with the "Rainbow Children" and add a Darth Vader voice at the end of the song saying the Rainbow Children came to a realization they were dealing with a white girl, so they banished her!!.. eek

lol lol lol

there's always been something insincere about this song, I can't put my finger on it - but when he spoke about this song & video when they came out, I had some serious doubts about his genuineness regarding the song and his "beloved". It doesn't seem to fit with Musicology, I also think it was written earlier, within the time span of his second marriage.

I believe strongly now what an orger once told me. She believed that the vast majority of stuff he's been releasing since 2000, is stuff he just pulls from the vault. Maybe he reworks lyrics. Maybe he touches up vocals. It it's just vault material.

Call My Name, however, I think might be new since it sounds like he really thought out the lyrics etc. etc.--there are references to the Bush administration policy of spyng on it's own citizens etc. throughout musicology.

also, before the album came out he said something in an interview about the song being about not hearing hes name and he felt when he heard himself being called prince again.

Kip is in the video Circa 2004...


The singer from Mint Condition is a s well..

Playing percussion and lip-syncing the vocals..


Maybe, it was completed later than anyone thinks?


I think that it was recorded before Chance Howard joined the band late..
