Polylanavacitate? Huh? Exodus Question

I havent taken the time to find the route or meaning of the "Polylonavacitae" word or what ever that is spoken in " The Exodus song on the NPG album. Am I stupid? (dont answer that) What the hell does it mean. I am pretty schooled in useless Prince trivia, but this one, I do not know.

Try searching for "polyvinyl acetate". Lots of results, some associated to records buy most on chemicals. I haven't got time to make sense of it!

This never made sense to me either, although I assumed it was something to do with plasticisers used in the music industry. Polyvinyl acetate is abbreviated to PVA, (that glue you use as kids that peels off your fingers like fake skin) and is formed by the acetylation of polyvinyl alcohol, and is, as far as my chemistry permits, a liquid. Records (vinyl) are made of PVC or polyvinyl chloride.

Interesting that the third “hit” of a google search for PVA and music generated a page of lyrics for Get Wild!!

Polyvinyl Acetate might be what certain speakers are made out of (the cones). Similar to polypropylene?

I think Prince was fairly obvious in GET WILD-

"Polyvinylacitate will keep your monkey high"

That should wrap up the questions!
