Hidden vocals on "Screwdriver"?

Why is it that I just now noticed a "hidden" vocal on "Screwdriver"? I was driving down the highway today, cranking Screwdriver and all of a sudden I thought...WTF is that voice. I thought it was something outside of my car, or just....I don't know, something else, lol. I backed up the track a little ways and sure enough it is in the song. Maybe I'm late on this, but for anyone like me that never noticed it before, it's buried in the hard rocking guitar part just before the beginning of the second verse, right before "sharing stories and cool clothes". It is a female voice that says something like, "Let me tell you a story....". Anyone else not notice this? BTW, I've not listened to the new songs alot over headphones....mostly in my car, so this might have me missing some of the slight nuances Prince has to offer.

Yes, I've heard that. I thought it was just an intro for that verse.

What a great song!

Lol Fragile. I think you're right Rodeo. It's just that you listen to a Prince song and you think you've got it down and Bam! A new layer reveals itself. It's happened to me alot.

Sounds like Prince saying, "'bout to tell you a story", to me.

RIP sad
