So you guys know. The studio version that was played over the pa at one of the Manchester gigs is in fact "TicTacToe" and not a song entitled "Stop That Train". The description that the mojo interviewer wrote for the song was actually in regards to "Whitecaps". The interviewer tried his best to describe the material but listening to the album blasted loud at 3 in the morning with Prince talking at the same time was pretty hard to digest. Even the author stated that he could be wrong with some of his descriptions and was also a bit foggy with the rest of of the other songs on the album. If you take that pa recording and clean it up a bit and try to isolate the vocals Hannah sings the words TictacToe towards the end of the track. Its hard to make out but i'm 95% percent certain thats what she singing. She only says it once. It's hard to get a concrete analysis from what we we've heard of it due to the poor quality but I defintely heard Tictactoe. The lyrics of the track also fit in line with the title. This is one of the 3rd eye girl songs that I actual enjoy. It reminds me of the vibe of a faster Rippopgodazippa, Blue Light, and "Emale" (the ooh,ahh, oh part) in terms of Prince's backing vocals. I could be wrong but I strongly feel that I'm right. Take a listen to it and see if you can get what I got out of listening to it.

Peace

That was bad news I was really lookin forward to "TicTacToe" but not so much anymore

Excellent, thanks for the info.

I wish people would stop confusing "info" with "opinion".

Maybe the Josh/Hannah song "Stop That Train" is an alternate version of the Prince song, "TicTacToe", in the same way that Donna's song, "Elektra" became "Plectrum Electrum", and Liv's song "The Unexpected" became "Wow".

Like I said I could be wrong and wasn't 100% percent certain but like I said I heard TicTac Toe toward the end iof the snippet. If it's another track, well the more the merrier.

I tried to decipher what I could of the song and that was the end result I got out of it.From what I've heard Josh is no where present vocally on track but Prince is. Who knows.

Thanks for pointing that tweet out.

What I wrote was not 100% opinion it was based more on a logical theory. What I wrote is based on what I heard and tried to clean up from a poor PA recording.I did hear TicTacToe mentioned. I dont follow Hannahs twitter so I would never have known the tidbit you mentioned but I appreciate your comment. My only goal is to get or obtain the most accurate information.

You're probably thinking of "speculation".

The titles of other songs have often been mentioned in Prince's stuff.

I dont think that it is tictactoe, the reporter could only remember Prince on main vocals, and that was one of the songs he could remember!

well the title of the thread says that it is tic tac toe, when it proberly isnt! Didnt he say it was a ballad? Stop the train doesnt sound like a ballad to me!

I really REALLY love this snippet from the PA! I so wish the full track gets released, it's a brilliant pop song really!!!!
