Oh, Movie Star. Sorry, I'm just posting as I think of them.

I just listened, it's not the ole man/pimpin voice on that one.

unless U mean "Mo' drawers (Mo' drawers)"
But I realized it felt like a scene out of Under the Cherry Moon, eveything about it has that energy

Do we know when/what song was the first time this particular persona was used?

Darling Nikki (studio unedit)

Get out

He does it in the "Lisa" practice tape that I think people are saying is circa 1982.

Anyone know of something earlier?

Guessing something he did with The Time demos might have it. There's also the skits on Vanity 6... "If a girl answers" is a different character but a similar voice.

LOL youre funny you little grumpy green with envy grandpa

nah, i didnt "reveal" anything...im clearly making light of the situation as a means to defuse the tension and antagonistic vibe the thread had taken on... chill, Doctor Phil...you take this stuff so serious

LOL I was the one having fun,

you revealed a lot lol "I know a lot about sports: boxing, football-Cowbows and the New York teams always, and UFC"

and the 'talking to you like a boyfriend girlfriend??' you know you have those phobia stuff, I defused it with my response

.
you got the wrong vibe about the father-pimp thing,

so this is over and boring now, time for coffee and bacon
Uh
Is that it? Umm
Wake me when you're done.
I guess you'll be the only one having fun.

I don't remember much of it coming from the 1981 The Time sessions. But yeah we hear it turn up in 1982 sessions

He does the voice at the end of Mutiny(Prince on vocals) "Morris? You took did you give?"

Yeah I'm wondering if it's in the demos for The Walk or Cool...but yeah, it's more straight up funk and soul vocals... kinda interesting that The Time had the pimp zoot suit throwback aesthetic before he started doing the voice later on.

I wonder if there's anything before that "Lisa" tape.

I started listening, but in an hour I'm putting together a 1977-1981 playlist of released and unreleased stuff and some live stuff to see if he plays with that voice.
I don't like 'Pimp Voice' as I don't like 'Darth Vader voice' gotta find another word lol

OldFriends4Sale said:

I get why people started calling it "Pimp Voice", but he's not pimpin' or an old man in "Vibrator" with the same voice, or Don't hang up. I don't really like the more traditional "Jamie Starr voice" tag either. "Morris Day voice" picked up steam for a while, but that's not right either. It was just his go to character voice.

Yeah because Jamie Starr was more than that voice. And most of the Time songs have nothing to do with that voice, in most cases Morris Day is singing in his natural registers.

And Jamie Starr is also connected with the Vanity 6 music, which never even in outtakes uses that voice

So the voice done in The Times Chocolate song could be considerd is his Waiters voice? On Vanity 6, if a girl answers, it's his womans voice. As the person above me said I always considered it his Jamie Star voice Call it what you want too

Which waiter? Chili Sauce?

Right, the voice in IAGA he is playing a woman lol I love that song

FragileUndertow said:

i could care less about what you think is "passive aggressive...if i said what i REALLY felt and thought about certain things here, it would get moderated out...so i filter it, and/or "lighten" it up to keep it funky, and relatively P.C. ...

OldFriends4Sale said:

It's pretty close to the exact same voice, just a different character.

I'm just saying, that's what it is, it leaves people guessing 'who are you talking to'

And I was playing with you too, so lighten up

When we first heard it we thought he was playing a gay man for some reason

But I believe it's supposed to be an insecure woman
