Remember when Vavoom came out and everyone lost their shit!

So, people still feeling it?

It never did much for me. TRC aside most of the singles from around then were pretty forgettable.

'Underneath the Cream' and 'When Eye Lay My Hands On U' still do it for me.

Touché. They are good. There is to be fair quote a few decent ones.

"Everyone"? Really?

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

only one person lost their shit over vavoom around here lol

it's -together with High- my least favorite song on The Chocolate Invasion.

all the other songs are pretty great cool

either an early mix or a remix of it back then, i can't remember, had a bit
more life and depth in it and didn't sound quite as flat as the official one.
that's the main gripe i have with vavoom, it just sounds so flat. even with
the Tidal FLAC version, there's very little improvement, it's just the way it
was recorded/produced.


and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Heck yeah! I lost my poop then and still do. Great song! I love how it builds and builds, and I absolutely love the crunchy sound of the final solo.

Sorry. Didn’t realise there’d be a need to explain that it was a blatantly hyperbolic comment.

You can read it as “lots of people” If you like.

Also just to be clear. I don’t actually think that people literally
Misplaced thier faecal matter only to find it months later all white and chalky like dog poo in the 70s. That’s known as a metaphor and like hyperbole is a type of linguistic shortcut used in order to simplify language and add colour to largely inconsequential conversations.

I liked the version with added background noise/female moans etc - gave it a rough feel, then was dissapointed when the clean version was released.

Nice apology but she won't be satisfied unless you specifically name every single person who lost their poop when "Vavoom" came out. But you can start the list with me!

To be fair, it was a long time ago. Blimey. A really long time ago. I just remember a lot of love for it. I’m sure my memory is as flawed as the next person though. I really wanted to love it too.

Art is subjective. What's average to you hits all the right notes with someone else. And vice versa.

Here's something that will boggle your mind: I absolutely guarantee you that at some point, every single Prince song ever released was/is someone's favorite song in the entire world.

And I can guarantee that with just about any artist - Springsteen; MJ; Striesand; even Nirvana.

Would you stand by that and offer an absolute guarantee over Wedding Feast?

I was gonna say “Purple and gold” and realised it’s likely there are people for whom that’s their favourite Prince song. lol

I happen to know two people who, for a solid year, thought "Wedding Feast" was the greatest song in the history of recorded music. True, those two people were my 8-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter, but it still proves my theorem!

On a related note, if there is a Guiness World Record entry for "Most Times Listening to 'Wedding Feast'" it would have me as the "champion".

Not a big fan of 'Vavoom' myself but I absolutely love the rest of the album. For the story, I played both 'The Chocolate Invasion' and '3121' a lot prior to going to the London aftershows in the Summer of 2007 so it is strongly attached to my 21 Nights memories... Coincidentally, 'The Dance', common to both these albums (I have the NPGMC version or the CI) was also the show opener on the night Prince invited me to dance.

Now that’s a great memory to keep hold of.

I have no such luck but my little brother was invited up to dance and got to sing back up on one song. That was the gig at Koko when the nutcase woman tackled him.

Wow that would have been a memorable show for you both as well! And I am glad the incident with that woman didn't discourage Prince from inviting further people onstage.

I wasn’t there unfortunately. I live in New Zealand so wasn’t able to see Prince as much as my brother who went to almost all the 21 nights shows and aftershows as well.

Oh for crying out loud, do I need to explain yet again the history? Vavoom was given to local radio station. Only circulating version was crummy FM rip. The infamous T got a CDR copy of the promo given to the radio station. People didn't believe him, so he posted an MP3 of that pristine promo except he put porn noises all over it to prevent bootleggers to profit from it. (Meanwhile he could use the pristine version to trade for other material from elite collectors.) The later official release of Vavoom is different from the original as played on the radio, includign some lyric changes and some changes WRT the music.

T, for all his greatness, really fucked-up on that one: yet another example of a fanmade version that people believe to be the real deal, and you end-up reading comments about Prince "cleaning up the original version" neutral neutral neutral
