I came across this. But there is nothing 'officially' out there of who did that scream on Gett Off.........


I believe it is Prince that does the scream.

https://www.newsweek.com/...he%20time.

That article doesn't say it's Prince, does it? It seems to just be concerned with the House of Pain sample rumor and refers to it as a"prince" track. It even mentions fans saying it's Rosie. Didn't someone on the org ask Levi that question years ago?

The scream that opens Gett Off is different than the two in that article. They are short and shrill; the Gett Off scream jumps up and down.

The first part of the scream, literally the first second or so is Prince's voice. We all know it was him.

For the longest time I thought Prince did the guitar solo in Little Red Corvette. Even seeing the video where Prince isn't even holding a guitar, I thought it was just so he could dance. Either way, I still enjoy the track the same!

in a way he did it. he cut and paste 3 different takes of Dez soloing into 1 version so Dez had to learn how to play that solo from the final record.

People thought it was the up part of the scream that was sampled. But, I think the article points out that its actually a saxophone sample and then on a remix they went ahead and used the first half of the Get Off scream.

Of course it s Rosie'scream, there s no debate about it. For the skeptics about Sexy MF, you can hear Prince singing the Levi Seacer' line on the Purple Medley. Definitely not the same voice.

...and the "Sexy MF" Remix backing vox.

Also, the short live version of "Gett Off" from the NPGMC proves (for me) that Rosie is the screaming culprit.

Back in the day, i thought that the Madhouse '16' album was also all Prince on drums.

i just heard the "Sixteen" track today in the shuffle.

Wooooooooo, Sheila can bang!!!

This would be a great "Prince quiz" topic - pick out a part on a song, was it Prince or a bandmate? I like to think I've got a good ear for his playing after so many years, but probably there are a few curve-balls in there. Honestly I'm not sure about "If U Love Somebody" - some licks really sound like Prince to my ears, but Mike was great at giving Prince he wanted to hear so maybe? Let's call that one unverified.

Thanks for reminding me of the song though, I hadn't listened to it since the album came out, better than I remembered!

Another guitar part I always thought was very underappreciated was Prince's solo on "I Will". It's short and sweet, reminiscent of "The Morning Papers" for its simplicity but the wah just makes it. Gorgeous.

Where is "I Will" from?

Some might think the scream in the beginning of Gett Off was him, but it was Rosie Gaines. That's also Levi Seacer who did the vocal gimmick "U Sexy Motherfucker" In Sexy MF. I thought that was Prince who did the harmonica-like sound in Thieves in The Temple, but it was just a sample from I done remember who. [Edited 5/3/21 8:44am]

You're suggesting Levi sang the chorus line of "you sexy motherfucker"? Lmao. Rod, you really jumped the shark with that one. You can't tell that Prince is singing the chorus? Really?

Are you being serious?

I mean, yeah, is he? The chorus of Sexy MF? That is Prince.

It's Levi. That's been known since it'a release. Come on. It's ovbviously his voice even if you don't see the music video where they always cut to him to say the chorus, as he did on the recording.

Actually check out the music video and listen to Levi's voice when he's talking in the banter before the song drops. It sure sounds like Levi. Maybe someone has the scoop here?

Didn't you read the history?

Can you not hear the voice?

Did you not read this thread?

I'd like to thank you Rodserling for turning this thread into a scream.

wait....WHAT?

Levi is shown miming that vocal in the video, right? I thought it was clear that was him saying the chorus.

The Rosie debate was strong here about Gett Off. Lol.

I still think it was Prince and Rosie with Rosie having the lead vocal.

I had no internet since 1971. On in the 1990's it became available, affordable, etc.

That is no excuse for reading books, etc.

no he doesn't.

Yes, he does. He literally says, "We didn't write this song..."

no he doesn't . And slave word was not the original lyric and One Of Us the original was released in 1995

He does. About 12 seconds in, he says, "We didn't write this song, but listen..."

I mean, that doesn't sound like Levi to me and him mouthing the lyrics doesn't mean much. The Time mouthed the backing vocals for those music videos and it's obviously Prince. I've never not thought Prince was singing the chorus of Sexy MF and that ain't a troll. It doesn't NOT sound like Prince and I've heard Levi sing plenty on tours. Idk why people are acting like it doesn't sound like Prince

Come on now, it is so obviously NOT Prince`s voice. The person singing the Sexy MF part has a completely different voice from Prince. I can`t even believe this is being discussed here. I immediately knew it wasn`t Prince when I first listened to it as new fan back in the day.
