i never realised before that the incredibly annoying
screaming noise is simply a sample of prince's scream
at the beginning of gett off. it's just a portion of
the scream but it's prince.

damn. i googled it and indeed it's a prince sample

was this common knowledge? how come i never knew?

i HATE that house of pain song

I kinda like that song. I have memories of that song.

I got told it was JB, tho they cud be wrong, it always sounded like Prince to me.

Oooh! Now that you mention it....it sounds like the scream from the begining of Get Off but backwards.

Me too!

IstenSzek - I never knew that either... but then I don't know most things!

Whatever you do, don't come to a University of Wisconsin football game. They play that song sometime in the second half and everyone in the place jumps up and down (some 80,000 people). You can actually feel the upper deck sway when it happens.

I didn't know this but it makes sense when you think about it.

Many moons ago, I remember moshing to this while wearing a silk tuxedo.

omg i suppose that would take your mind off the scream loop

i thought it was common knowledge..especially since gett-off was a huge hit just a year prior to jump arounds release

this song became huge after kris kross's jump from what i remember, I used to think this was a remix of that, how's that for young and stupid? LOL It was fun mouthing that scream and doing actions to it.

I never knew for sure - but always assumed. Isn't it obvious?

Hate to say it from my cave...although, I have never heard this song or any of this bands music.

I used to LOVE this song... I practiced my gangsta moves to it.

I think that scream is actually Rosie, not Prince.

Efan said:

It's definitely Prince.

Genesia said:

I always thought so too, but I remember Michael Bland saying over in Associated Artists that it was Rosie. I'll try to find the thread, if I can. I hope I'm not just spreading unfounded rumors.

Genesia said:

Nope...the scream at the begining of Gett Off is Rosie Gaines.

Even Michael Bland confirms this.

Oh, come on. Anyone with ears can tell it's Prince.

Genesia said:

Listen again.

Why pay someone 2 sample this?

Efan said:

Look here, Skippy...I've been listening to Gett Off since 1991 - in all its incarnations. And I was listening to Prince scream, in general, 10 years before that. I know a Prince scream when I hear one.

From Rosie's MySpace page:

i guess the same way prince paid the cocteau twins for sampling them
and turning that sample into the groovetrack to "love thy will b done"



weren't people not obligated to say who they sampled until 1992?

Efan said:

hmm, i thought there might be some confusion because there's the scream that
starts off the song "aaaaahaaaaaow"and then there's the wailing scream that's at the song's beginning "aahhahaha hoow ooow ooow ahahaha". at
the end of the first one the song starts at the end of the second one prince
starts playin' guitar.

the second one is def rosie. i always thought the first one was prince since
it sounds so damn much like him. i guess we stand corrected now. damn.

Efan said:

It is Rosie....listen to the end of the scream. Again, even Michael Bland who was in the band at the time the song was recorded confirms this.

Genesia said:

Yes, yes, and I can say the same exact thing. Believe me, it was traumatic for me to accept too and I fought it as well. And actually, I wouldn't mind being proven wrong here, but Rosie and Michael B. have maintained it's Rosie, so I guess I gotta go with that.

Genesia said:

Apparently you don't .....

Silly. I never thought the scream was Prince, even if he mimed to it in the video. Then again, I once thought that a particular Wendy line was Prince, so what do I know?

Its neither Prince nor Rosie. its a freakin Horn stab. My gawd!!!
