DISS! Talking about another track made me remember this one.
It starts out like "Kiss" but switches quickly. Prince is using the voice from "Cloreen Baconskin". He repeatedly asks "Tricky" , "What Time Is It?" Then he's going on about "We ain't got Time, we ain't got Time!" It ends with him doing a broadway style "da da da da duh duh da duh" and a toilet flush. Probably under 90 seconds long. It have it on vinyl at the end of a Prince Megamix that I found around 1989-1990. Since he was calling out "Tricky" I'm assuming it was made around Parade era. Has anyone else heard this track? When go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all up in the house but when log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming! | |

The song is called "tricky" by The Time. B-Side to Ice Cream Castle 45. | |

Probably under 90 seconds long. It have it on vinyl at the end of a Prince Megamix that I found around 1989-1990. Has anyone else heard this track? You answered your own question, it's not a track sounds like part of a megamix that cuts Kiss and Tricky together. | |

You answered your own question, it's not a track sounds like part of a megamix that cuts Kiss and Tricky together. Actually I had never heard "Tricky" before and would've have never thought it to be a b-side to a Time track because it's clearly Prince on vocals. Regarding the megamix it was all previously released to my ears until this bit at the very end. Even the intro for "Kiss" sounded slightly different/distorted from the regular intro of the song. I thought it was something bootleg entirely. Thanks for everyone who filled me in on this track.

It's an oldie. but Prince did indeed do the vocals on Tricky in his best Morris Day voice. .... 1, 2, 3, 4 .... Why you big, tossed-salad, hairdo-havin', long, tall, snaggly gold-toothed, .... funkin' habit-formed, leather-wearin', beanpole-lookin', black... Shit! Oh! Somebody bring me a piece of chicken! What... what Tricky say? What Tricky say? Yakety-yak? Yakety-yak. My ass, mutha... Uh! Oh, gimme some horns. You can't fuck with that, look out! We ain't gonna put no more instruments on this. We ain't got time. We don't have ti... What time is it? It's time for you to ... It's time for you to retire. You're over... wait, wait, wait! Why you, and you? You... you old, Michelin Man, fat, black... Break now. Yes! When I look in the mirror. I see your ugly face. I just wanna run, in front of... Wait, gimme some horns. Now you go. You, you..., wait, wait, wait. Let me... wait. You, you, you're just old. That's all I know, you're just old and you're fat. You know it too, don't you? You know it, you're just fat and old. Hit me! Uh! Yes! Yes! That's right, yes! Johnny, Johnny! Don't you wish you could get on TV? On the one! .... My man, say: "Johnny, Johnny!"

And I thought this thread was about UTFO´s diss song DISS, which sounds like Kiss and disses Prince. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

There was another Time vinyl-only b-side called Grace, which is worth tracking down. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Actually, isn't the intro part with the "why you big tossed salad head u havin" done by Morris? You can clearly tell that's Morris' voice. The guy laughin' in the background is hilarious because his laughter actually makes the name calling & clowning even funnier. | |

The version I originally heard was at the end of a megamix with Morris' lines cut out it had the intro to Kiss but then Jerome says "Diss" then Prince goes into his part.
