...first of all let me say that listening to this is as funky as ANYTHING P has done before or since, horns + Wendy's super slick chicken grease rythm guitar+ Brown Marks bass = pure heaven.

Anyway, towards the end goes up the chant 'whose house ? murhys house!' [or words to that effect!]

can some one tell me is this chant comes from another P song or was it just added to the live version.

Oh, by the way how funky is the '86 version of Controversy!! - never bettered since methinks [we so need Wendy's rythm back!]

DAYUM!!!

Isn't it "Whose house? Wendy's house!"

I know there's another live version where a different member of the Revolution is called out, but it slips my mind at the moment.

^Same here.

I think the chant was just added to the live version.

I don't recall it being on any other Prince track.

it is a old chant done for a years. it was also done by RUN DMC

I've also heard it done as "Miko's house". Can't remember if it was on A Love Bizarre also, or a different song.

Both times, it was on A Love Bizarre. In the '86 shows, it was "Wendy's house," then in the Lovesexy Japan '89 shows, he revived the chant as "Miko's House".

thanks , whatever it is - it sure is funky as hell!

Let's not forget Miko.

Love this song as much today as way back then.

Perfect for dancing.

I wish there was a nice dancing smilie.

That banana is so no-no.
