at about 2:43 or so... im not sure who is saying it, but right after the "ohwhoawhoawhoa" part, a girl screams.. something. followed by prince screaming "yeah" or whatever. i tried googling it but none of the lyrics seem right. bobby on the drum-ah? mommy im-a comin? that cant be right. what is she saying?

This is what i have saved

Mountains

Once upon a time in a land called Fantasy
17 mountains stood so high
The sea surrounded them and 2gether they would be
The only thing that ever made U cry

U said the devil told U that another mountain would appear
Every time somebody broke your heart
He said the sea would one day overflow with all your tears
And love will always leave U lonely

CHORUS:
But I say it's only mountains and the sea
Love will conquer if U just believe (Oh yeah!)
It's only mountains and the sea
There's nothing greater (oh), U and me

Once upon a time in a haystack of despair
Happiness is sometime hard 2 find there
Africa divided, hijack in the air
It's enough 2 make U wanna lose your mind

CHORUS

Guitars and drums on the 1, huh
(Bobby on the drum-ah)
Yeah!

It's only mountains (oh yeah) and the sea
(And the girls say)
There's nothing greater (oh), U and me

(Starvation)
Ow!

Mountains , uh

I've been wondering this too. To me it souds like "booby on over" which dosn't make since but's thats what I hear

Thanks for clearing this one up for me, I heard something else as well

I think it's Wendy saying "Bobby on drums!", or something close. I guess we could ask Wendy.

I always heard "Salvation", but you're right, it does sound more like "Starvation"

I'll never be able to fully accept the "Bobby on the drum-ah" thing.

It sounds more to me like "mummy, I'm tumour!"

But that can't be right.

I always thought he was saying "Starfish"

I always thought it was him saying, "Don't listen to me in 20 years!!"

Mommy, I'm a drummer

or

Bobby, I'm a drummer

This answer only makes sense for the Dutchies and Belgians among us:

I could have sworn she screamed "Bobbejaan Schoepen!". Then again, why would you mention a Belgian, yodeling cowboy with an amusement park....? Doesn't make much sense, does it?

Maybe I should enter for "Mamma appelsap"?

I always thought the line was

'Once upon a time in a place they call despair'

But I realise now it's this...

'Once upon a time in a haystack of despair'

Lol...
