Okay, I know the chorus line from Rebirth Of The Flesh almost definitely isn't "La La La La La La, Sylvia Call Uh Ya", but what is it? Checking on a few lyric sites suggests "souli-a-colia" but even that doesn't make much sense to me. Does anyone more qualified in Prince-bonics have more of a clue as to what he's singing and, more importantly, what it means?

the bootlegs wrote "Souly-A-Colia" on the vinyls & CDs back in 1988/ 1989, iirc.

Like this was actually the title of the song.

I don't know what "Souly-A-Colia" is, just a silly phrase I guess.

"Rebirth Of The Flesh" is like you say the corect title.
