Shortberry Strawcake

I may be a bit late on this topic, but I was wondering if anyone out there knows the backwards message Prince is singing and playing guitar to on Sheila E.'s "Shortberry Strawcake." I know he mentions something about "last night I had a dream..." but I can't make out the rest. If anyone knows, please hit me back. Thanks!

I don't think it's backwards, just distorted. The only think I THINK I can make of all of it is "is (or it's) wicked".

Oh no. It's definatetly backwards. I recorded it and then reversed it on my PC's sound recorder. It's a message, but I just can't make it out. He also sings something like "we made love until..." Damnit, I wish I knew!

You did A LOT better then me. I just listened to it in reverse and didn't understand a damn thing that was said. The snare kept getting in the way. Have you checked CalhounSquare.org yet? Nevermind I'll do it.

Nevermind, that only tells when it was recorded. Sorry but I'm useless to you my friend. Good luck though! I'm curios now myself!
