I think it's sound clip from a Roller Derby contest (anybody remember those Saturday afternoon shows?). That explains that rolling sound (skates), the guy yelling "Call a time out!'' (not throw the bum out!) and the crowd cheering in the end (as someone apparently scored).

I dont think Prince would put something as humiliating as that on his own record. This is Prince were talking about, his pride and ego will only take so much from other people so I don't think he's going to do that. and that experience for him was still fresh basically 4 or 5 years after that happened. Someone is going to have to prove it for me to believe it's true.


He was trying to show that was the "POP" in his life.They way he says EVERYBODY NEEDS A THRILL seems to suggest just that, EVERY(including him), and he is better to have had it happen and overcame it.

I knew what it was used for, I'm just saying it's not the crowd noise from his opening set at that Rolling Stones concert.

I consider myself pretty schooled when it comes to useless prince trivia stuff, but one thing I never heard or asked about is- what is that break in Pop Life, it always sounded like a boxing match to me. I heard that is was when he was boo-ed off the stage when he opened up for the stones but someone dismissed that-Anyone?




It is a boxing match ...u hear the bell sounding off the round.
peace heart
P luv

I always thought of it as a boxing match - that bell, the noise the crowd is making, ain't no concert!! lol

NupwrSoul - how do you conclude that this song is about popularity running out? Please explain, as I have an entirely different take on this song!

I always thought it was about lifes challenges. That the "POP" was a "Challenge" in life. And that life is boring if you don't have challenges.

NewPower, can i remind you you are not the world authority on things so stop acting like it.
I think it just sounds like 'throw the bum out' but i think its another language.
If its a boxing match then what's that rolling sound?
