At the start of gett off....

Is that a scream or is Prince actually saying something (and is it just me or is that sampled in the 1993 track Jump Around by House of Pain???)

Its bugged me for years and,whilst its not a great forum thread, I need to know!!!! eek

I believe it's actually Prince and that HOP sample is from another track.

I think it's just a scream, but that's only my opinion.

It's just a scream.

It isn't sampled in 'Jump Around', that's a sample of someone else.

I'm jus listening to a live version from 2000, it must be Rosie cause he's still saying something when the scream comes in... GO ON ROSIE! I always assumed it was Prince. I didn't think her range would go quite to there, even if it is a scream!

You guys are nuts. Rosie??? That sounds just like a Prince scream, especially the second syllable (if a scream can contain syllables).
I always thought that was the sample used in Jump Around, too. How do you guys know it's not?

i've seen video of it somwhere performed live, and Rosie does the scream at the beginning. that, or she's mouthing it to a track. but aside from the video, every other time i've seen tape of it, Rosie did it.

No way is that Rosie. How many times have you seen "tape of it" with Rosie doing the scream, because I've NEVER seen tape of Rosie doing the scream.

3 or 4 times. i don't collect video, though, so i can't reference which ones, because i trade them about as soon as i get them. i had them in 1995 and 1996 if that helps, though lol

IT IS ROSIE, prince aint the only one who can give a good scream wink
Why would Prince use a backing track of Gett Off? Guy can do anything live, and does. Why skimp on this one song and use a backing track?
