Baby I'm a Star question

During the opening bars to "Baby I'm a Star", just before Prince gives his famous "ahhhhwahhh" to start the lyrics, I swear I hear a woman speaking dialogue....have you heard that too, and if so, what the hell is she saying?

If you're talking about once the band kicks in, it's Prince, backwards. Reverse it and listen. It's at the end too. It's him saying:

"Like what the fuck do they know?
All their taste is in their mouth
Really, what the fuck do they know?
Come on, baby
Let's go crazy!"

PS It's on the DTT-Lyrics.com site.

It's more like Prince doing a whiny, teasing voice.

Open the MP3 in a sound editing program and reverse it, then listen for yourself.

Which is better. MP3 or Ipod? Most local radio stinks, so the radio headphones don't do it for me anymore. I listen to music when I walk so I have to get on the boat (no pun intended). After I get one, will you explain the sound editing programs in detail?? smile

MP3 and iPod are two different things. It's like asking "What's better....knives or snow globes?"

Google.

Baby I'm A Star

1 2 3, uh!

"Like what the fuck do they know? {backwards message}
All their taste is in their mouth
Really, what the fuck do they know?
Come on, baby
Let's go crazy!"

Hey, look me over
Tell me do U like what U see?
Hey, I ain't got no money
But honey, I'm rich on personality
Hey, check it all out
Baby, I know what it's all about
Before the night is through
U will see my point of view
Even if I have 2 scream and shout

Oh baby, I'm a star!
Might not know it now
Baby, but I are, I'm a star!
I don't want 2 stop till I reach the top
Sing it! (We are a star!)

Hey, take a listen
Tell me do U like what U hear?
And if it don't turn U on
Just say the word and I'm gone
Honey, I know ain't nuttin' wrong with your ears (Oh)
Hey, check it all out
Better look now or it just might be 2 late (Just might be 2 late)
My luck's gonna change 2night
There's gotta be a better life
Take a picture sweetie, I ain't got time 2 wait

Oh baby, I'm a star!
U might not know it now
Baby, but I are, I'm a star! (No!)
I don't want 2 stop till I reach the top
Sing it! (We are a star!)

Everybody say nothin' come 2 easy
But when U got it, baby, nothin' come 2 hard
U'll see what I'm all about (See what I'm all about)
If I gotta scream and shout (If I gotta scream and shout)
Baby, baby (baby), baby (baby), baby (baby)
Yeah… yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (Star!)

Might not know it now
Baby, but I are, I'm a star!
I don't want 2 stop till I reach the top
Sing it! (Star!)
Baby, baby, baby
Oh baby, I'm a star!
Baby, baby, baby
Somebody (We are a star, yeah!)

(Baby, I'm a star)
We are a star, yeah!
Star, ooh! (Baby, I'm a star)
We are a star, yeah!
Doctor!
Baby, baby, baby, baby - ooh! {x2}
We are a star!

"Like what the fuck do they know? {backwards message}
All their taste is in their mouth
Really, what the fuck do they know?
Come on, baby
Let's go crazy!"

I reversed the track and from what I can hear it's a womans voice. Not Prince.
Sounds like Apollonia.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

I asked this very same question about 10 years ago and as far as I recall, someone back then also said it´s Wendy.
" 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?"

I think the voice is Prince. I'd be very surprised if it isn't.
It sounds like him doing a 'voice' for the track.

Actually come to think of it, it could be Wendy. hmmm

Either way--whether it's Prince or it's Wendy, it's definitely a backward track of a fancy lesbian's voice.

It's Apollonia impersonating Prince's impression of Wendy.
