  Speaker 10: Hour of hell. What's up, and welcome to Movie Meltdown's
• 1:34
  Speaker 10: Attack of the Killers soundtrack. I am Brian. Joining me
• 1:37
  Speaker 10: today is Jacqueline and Nick, both previous guests on the show,
• 1:42
  Speaker 10: which you, I guess, introduce yourselves. And if you'd like
• 1:45
  Speaker 10: to plug that reason that brought you here last time,
• 1:48
  Speaker 10: you can also do that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: The last time we were here was because we played
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: and we rewrote an original score and played it live
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: to a silent movie.
• 1:59
  Speaker 10: Which was The Fall of the House of Usher.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: And it was awesome.
• 2:02
  Speaker 10: I remember that night.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: It was totally great. Everyone loved us. And the name
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: of our band is Bermudan, but that's not really important.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: The music was important.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, unless you go to our band camp page. And
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: buy one of the songs, which wouldn't even know what
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: the name is. We have made 50 cents.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we have made 50 cents.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: No, I thought it was make $ 2, because I think
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: my mom bought it.
• 2:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: And then Justin bought it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, after taxes.
• 2:27
  Speaker 10: And then all of the fans listening to this show.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: That's true.
• 2:31
  Speaker 10: Hint, hint. Come on, get on it, people.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if you haven't been able to tell, I'm Jacqueline.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, I'm Nick.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah. The only other two people here besides Brian.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:41
  Speaker 10: Hopefully by now they're familiar with me. So we are
• 2:44
  Speaker 10: back to build another Frankenstein-like soundtrack. And usually we just
• 2:48
  Speaker 10: slap pieces together and make our own general soundtrack. But
• 2:52
  Speaker 10: this time, because this year is the 30th anniversary of
• 2:57
  Speaker 10: Purple Rain as a film and soundtrack, we've already discussed
• 3:02
  Speaker 10: the film at great length and probably very offensively for
• 3:05
  Speaker 10: many people. Several years ago, on the previous big anniversary,
• 3:10
  Speaker 10: frighteningly enough, that we've been doing the show that long,
• 3:13
  Speaker 10: But I figured on this time we would come around
• 3:15
  Speaker 10: and do a focus on the soundtrack. And it seemed
• 3:19
  Speaker 10: kind of ridiculous to play the songs from the soundtrack
• 3:23
  Speaker 10: since we're doing one soundtrack. Couldn't you just sit at
• 3:25
  Speaker 10: home and listen to the soundtrack?
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: And you probably heard all that already.
• 3:28
  Speaker 10: And you probably already heard that already. So I was like,
• 3:30
  Speaker 10: what's a cool way to go about it? Or at
• 3:32
  Speaker 10: least dig up something interesting along the way. So I
• 3:35
  Speaker 10: was like, okay, it's a big enough soundtrack that I'm
• 3:38
  Speaker 10: guessing I can probably find covers of all these different songs.
• 3:42
  Speaker 10: Most of which I found multiple covers of, which may
• 3:44
  Speaker 10: end up spilling over into an entire volume two of
• 3:47
  Speaker 10: this idea. But anyway, this has been an ongoing project
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: for this whole year is talking to people about Prince
• 3:54
  Speaker 10: and finding weird songs. So let's just kick it off.
• 3:58
  Speaker 10: What I've usually been asking everybody is what was their
• 4:00
  Speaker 10: introduction to Prince? With or without the Purple Rain, where
• 4:03
  Speaker 10: did you first experience Prince?
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I guess my first experience was with my dad.
• 4:12
  Speaker 10: That's weird. It is pretty weird. It's not Darling Nikki,
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: is it? Thank God it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Wasn't Darling Nikki. But no. Yeah, he was playing Prince
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: in his sad apartment that I loved because it had
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: a pool.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he just played Prince and Radiohead and The Beatles
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: for me. all through the late 90s.
• 4:39
  Speaker 10: And this is what warped your young mind.
• 4:42
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: I probably, the first time I probably heard about Prince,
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Prince was in the Animaniacs episode.
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: Nice.
• 4:51
  Speaker 10: I think I remember that one.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: So the reference was lost on me at the time.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: They're just holding this guy with, you know, in purple
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: clothes and curly hair. But yeah, I first actually heard
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: his music probably a few years ago. when I was
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: going through this quest of musical archaeology, just trying to
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: find all the, you know, because he was hailed as
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: this genius, this little short genius man.
• 5:17
  Speaker 10: Rightfully so.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Who could dance. Yeah, and that appealed to me. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: I hunted him down.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Not literally.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 5:25
  Speaker 10: But he does live in Minneapolis. You broke into the
• 5:28
  Speaker 10: compound in Minneapolis?
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, in the compound.
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: I hear he makes great omelets.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 10: If you can get him the next morning to make
• 5:36
  Speaker 10: you an omelet.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:37
  Speaker 10: After you break into the compound.
• 5:39
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: I feel like if you wake up in the morning
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: in the same mansion as Prince, that there'll be, like,
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: a number.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Like, there'll be a piece.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: He would write a note.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I think I would call the cops. I'd be like, what?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Where am I?
• 5:54
  Speaker 10: Come down to my room. It's the 37th on the right.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: Watch out for that tiger.
• 6:01
  Speaker 10: This is Michael. Prince doesn't have time for wild animals.
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: He's focusing on all his random chicks. He has to
• 6:08
  Speaker 10: sue everyone. And suing people.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: And then make music videos and just keep them in
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: his little vault and not show them.
• 6:16
  Speaker 10: Well, that's what I think is amazing, too. I don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 10: know how well you know about his accumulating of music.
• 6:23
  Speaker 10: For years there, once he set up the whole Paisley
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: Studios there, it was just like, he was constantly, like,
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: then he had grounds to do whatever, I mean, he
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: always did that, even on his old albums, like, he
• 6:35
  Speaker 10: would write, produce, perform everything on the album, but, like,
• 6:39
  Speaker 10: then he had his own studio to do it, so
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: he just started, like, recording songs, and he had, like,
• 6:44
  Speaker 10: at one point, like, there was a bank of, like,
• 6:47
  Speaker 10: 400 songs that had never been heard by anyone else
• 6:51
  Speaker 10: that was just sitting in his vault that he had written, and, like,
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: I think he made use of later, like once he
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: got into the weird slave era where his recording company
• 7:00
  Speaker 10: was kind of screwing him over, according to him, that
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: he didn't want to record anything else with them, that
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: I think he just started pulling stuff out of the
• 7:06
  Speaker 10: vault for several albums of like, okay, I don't really
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: have to do anything. Check this out. So yeah, he's
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: a peculiar man, but genius nonetheless.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: So you should start writing 400 songs and bank them
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: and hide them at your house somewhere.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Those are totally going to be valuable.
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: All right, I think we should kick it off. The
• 7:29
  Speaker 10: best version I could find, probably the most fun way,
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: because I figure we'll still kind of go in the
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: order of the soundtrack. So the Riverboat Gamblers did a
• 7:39
  Speaker 10: version of Let's Go Crazy on the... And this ties
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: into our previous talking about the movie was on the
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: 25th anniversary. And Spin Magazine did their own, like, basically
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: the same idea. They actually got people to do covers
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: of every song on the album. So I do like
• 7:57
  Speaker 10: a lot of them that were on that. If you
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: can find it out there, it's an awesome album. Go
• 8:01
  Speaker 10: find it. Again, I don't know how you go about
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: it officially now because if you bought the magazine at
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: that time, it was a free download. So I'm assuming
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: it's still free out there in the internets. But that's
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: between you and Spin Magazine. Everything's on the internet. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: don't know anything about that. But if you can come
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: across it, however, it is really cool. And several of
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: them we're going to work in today. So the first
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: of which, Riverboat Gamblerz. Dearly beloved, we.
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: Are gathered here today to get through this thing called life.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Electric word life.
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: It means forever.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: That's a mighty long time, but I'm here to tell
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you there's something else.
• 8:40
  Speaker 12: The afterworld.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: World of never-ending.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Happiness You can always see the sun, day or.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Night So when you call up that shrink.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: In Beverly Hills You.
• 8:52
  Speaker 12: Know the one doctor, everything will be alright Instead of
• 8:55

• 8:58
  Speaker 12: him how much of your mind, baby Cause in this life,
• 9:02
  Speaker 12: things are much harder than in the afterworld In this life,
• 9:06

• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Oh no, let's go!

  Speaker 1: Let's get crazy. Let's get nuts.

  Speaker 3: Let's go crazy!

• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Let's go!
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Woo!
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: When I was in sixth grade, all the little kids
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: said if they wanted.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: To have sex with Betty or Apollonia, and they said,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: which one?
• 12:16
  Speaker 12: And I said, when I grow up, I'm going to
• 12:20
  Speaker 12: have sex with them both at.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: The same time. Take me away! Take me away!
• 12:31
  Speaker 12: Take me away!
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah!
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: This is when the fog, the fog machines are in
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: full go.
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: The exits to the fog. Then 12 people come lift
• 12:38
  Speaker 10: him up and carry him off stage. I only assume.
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: I do really think that's a fun wrap up, mostly
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: because it fits so well with that whole style. And again,
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: the mythology of Prince of the everybody in sixth grade
• 12:53
  Speaker 10: still deciding, you know, which of his random chicks that
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: he hung out with was the hottest. So that was
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: a weird mythology, too, is how many girls he was
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: connected to in the music industry for years and still
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: kind of is.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: Carmen Electra.
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: Sheila E. We can do the whole list here. I mean,
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: there's a ton of girls he was sort of semi
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: unofficially connected to. So I thought that was a fun
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: little wrap up.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: I wonder how many are still in the vault.
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: Maybe that's what he's using the vault for now. He
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: busted those songs out and then you're like, I got
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: room for some more. No, you stay. You stay right there.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: My favorite thing about the wrap up of that song
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: is that the narrator is is presented with a false dilemma.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: He's like, do you want to have sex with her
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: or her? And he's like, nah, I don't have to choose.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: I'll take both.
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: It's pretty cocky for a sixth grader. It also has
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: quite a, again, to tie into the movie, quite a
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: Morris Day feel to it. It very much falls closer
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: to that band. which I guess we won't officially cross
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: over into. Since it's not on the soundtrack, we were
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: discussing earlier how everybody else gets to be featured in
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: the movie, but when he puts together the official soundtrack, it's, oh,
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: by the way, here's all my awesome songs. But, I mean, really,
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: nobody wants to put Sex Shooter on there, so it's okay.
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: We're not missing anything with that one. But the Morris
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: Day stuff's pretty awesome. I did see him earlier this year.
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: He's badass. Congratulations. He's still badass. He has not gotten
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: back to me. I was going to ask him to
• 14:31
  Speaker 10: come talk about it. So if Morris is out there
• 14:33
  Speaker 10: and he wants to come on the show, feel free.
• 14:36
  Speaker 10: So with that one, I was going to go into
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: the guitar work. Being a guitar type person, what are
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: your thoughts on Prince's guitar work? Well, he.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: Was very.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: Like in my head right now, I'm hearing all the
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: kind of distorted leads.
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: He was very capable.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: I have to say, as a guitar player. You know,
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: kind of in the school, the tradition of blues-influenced guitar playing,
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: kind of like Hendrix when he would go on those
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: little runs. But yeah, I mean, I don't think I
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: could praise him for his guitar playing more so than
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: all the other stuff that he did.
• 15:20
  Speaker 10: And continues to do. He's not dead or anything. This
• 15:24
  Speaker 10: isn't like a retrospective. That's true. Post-mortem. That's true.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: He is embalmed already.
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: Daddy might be, because he refuses to age.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: Boy looks damn good.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: I saw him interviewed on Travis Smiley a few years ago,
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: and he was just talking about chemtrails.
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: Interesting.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: God, friends, you're so weird.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: He is completely.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: He is walled off.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: He is like, I don't want my music on YouTube.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: Hey, Warner Brothers, Illuminati. Like, you know, if I see
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: your lizard eyes.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: He's an animaniac, though.
• 16:05
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he's in his own little world. But, again, he
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: puts together some impressive stuff.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: So, I guess next we roll into Take Me With You,
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: which there are a few different versions of that out there.
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: But I went with, what is it? A different way
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: than I expected finding different ones. This one is Marshall Crenshaw.
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: I can't disguise the pounding of my heart It beats
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: so strong.
• 16:42

  Speaker 1: Take me home, home, home Take me home.
• 19:36
  Speaker 13: I want to spend the night.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: At somebody's mansion.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: There are so many mansion references in the Prince Ouvre.
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: We might need to address the mansions.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: How many people do you.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Know with mansions?
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: I think he was in, I mean, he's living in
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: that bubble.
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: That was early, though. That's what's funny is that he's
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: already writing in that because, I mean, this was written,
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: I mean, I guess the biggest thing he'd had, the
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: biggest break would be, like, That was post-1999, so he
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: had Little Red Corvette. He'd gotten a good amount. Before that,
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: none of his albums really had financing, so he really
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: shouldn't have been at the mansion stage yet.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: But he was dating so many ladies with mansions that
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: he didn't care if they spent the night at the mansion.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: He could care less. He's like, whatever, it's just a mansion.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, when you get to that level, mansions are like tissues.
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: It's just like, eh.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: You have your eyes set on the secret space program.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: You're like, I want to go to Mars.
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: And they go to Mars.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: So mansions to them are just nothing.
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: You are really working in the weird Illuminati crazy version.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to speak for his representative today.
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: We here at Movie Meltdown take no responsibility for... things
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: said or other.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Or definitely didn't.
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: Say opinions that may be NSA don't yeah see I
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: think that's probably the improvement on this cover is no
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: offense she seems like a very nice lady Apollonia is
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: not I don't know her her vocals specifically on that
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: track kind of leave a little something to be desired
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: that That's possibly the weakest point on that album, in
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: my opinion, is Take Me With You. And a lot
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: of it is that weird duet portion where Apollonia throws
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: out some weird notes. I mean, Prince is always perfect.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: No, she sounds like a shampoo.
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: Well, I mean, if you want somebody that's gone kind
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: of crazy, she went super religious from what I hear.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: So he went conspiracy nut and she went ultra religious.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Prince, super conspiratorial nut. Very sexual man. admittedly, Jehovah's Witness.
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: Well, that's what I always thought was weird is like
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: 98% of his songs are like sex, sex, sex. And
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: then there's this little handful over here that are all
• 22:11
  Speaker 10: about God. I'm just like, okay. I mean, they're still
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: really well written, so I don't even hate the weird
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: religiousy ones, but I'm just like, that's such a weird mixture.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: He's a complicated man.
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: That he is.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: As long as you confess.
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: That's true.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I have cheated on my husband.
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: Do you think God will ever forgive me?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: I'm Dee Snider from Twisted Sister, writer, star of Strangeland, radio, TV,
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: you know me.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And you're listening to Movie Meltdown.
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I'm burning hell. I'm burning hell.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Want some music for your ears? Doo-Wop Shop makes it
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: easy to rent for any event, business meeting, or special occasion.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: From PA systems to karaoke machines to just about anything
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: that makes noise, you can rent it from the Doo-Wop Shop.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: In Louisville, find them either at their Highland Store at
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: 1587 Bardstown Road or in the East End at 2915
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: South Hurstburn Parkway. And look for them online at DooWopShop.com.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Doo-Wop Shop. We're serious about music.
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: So, moving into the next one here. This is an
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: interesting song to try to cover, I would think, because
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: it's probably the most passionate in its own weird, disturbing way.
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: And it's played up very much on stage, in the movie,
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: and it comes through on the song itself. So, the
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: beautiful ones, it seems like would be a hard one
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: to do out of context.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: Again, most of the rest of these bands that are
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: going to be on this soundtrack that we're doing are
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: lesser known. This was the one I thought I'd throw
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: in probably the most mainstream or one of the two
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: most mainstream people that I've found that have covered anything
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: by Prince. Mariah Carey is about as mainstream as you
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: can get. And she does a version and again does
• 24:29
  Speaker 10: a duet on this one with Drew Hill. I don't know.
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: I thought just to mix things up, I'd throw in
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: probably the biggest known star on this rundown.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: What's it gonna be?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, baby, baby, baby.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Is it him or is it me?
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't make me waste my time. Baby, baby, baby.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Can't you stay with me tonight.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Baby, baby.
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: Don't let kisses believe you're right.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: You will survive to find.
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: The beautiful one, baby, she went.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, take a fucking picture, baby.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Me, yeah. And bring to life the visions of time.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Beautiful, beautiful.
• 26:49
  Speaker 12: We always smash the picture.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, always, baby.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Every time. If I told you baby Oh, so cool,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: so cool, so cool. I got one thing to say
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I want you. See, I may not know what I'm going.
• 29:18
  Speaker 13: With, baby.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: I may not know.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I may not know. See, I may not know what
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I need. What I need. What I need. What I need.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: What I need. But one thing. One thing.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: One thing.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: But it may be.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I know what I want. And that's to please you. baby,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: please you, baby And I'll be back again on my
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Mondays I want you still, I want you Ooh, ooh,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh, I know I'm so bad Oh, baby, baby,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: baby Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: yeah He wants his girl He wanna love me, love
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: me He wanna.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Throw me away.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I gotta know, I gotta know, baby Gotta know, baby, baby, baby.
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: It's actually a pretty good version. It's just to me,
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: it's even more slowed down and I don't know. I mean,
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: it's not boring, but it's just not, she doesn't add
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: anything extra to it. It's just sort of doing a
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: cover in the most basic way of doing a cover.
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: They have a decent little chemistry together, but yeah, I
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: don't know.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, doing a cover is supposed to be putting your
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: own spin on it.
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: For some people, not everyone.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: I don't like the other covers. I don't like covers
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: that are supposed to be exact replicas.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of self-indulgent. It's just like, I wish
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: I wrote this song, so I'm going to play it
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: exactly the.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Way it is.
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: Unless you're one of those cool cover bands, like the
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: Purple Rain.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: Uh-huh.
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: Have you seen the Purple Ring? I've seen them on
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: the TVs. They are pretty impressive. They have taken to
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: doing nothing but recreating the Prince experience.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: It's like they should play the Mercury Ballroom.
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: They really should. Like all the other cover bands. If
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: they'd like to sponsor us, feel free. We'll run some
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: ads for their cover bands.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: Mariah Carey does contribute the Boiling Kettle is Ready sound.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: to the song that it needed?
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: You mean those dog notes she hits?
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: I've always sort of described her as that. And the
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: thing is, I don't think she's bad. I think she
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: really is talented. She has an amazing voice, but she
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: does that like that became her gimmick. I think the
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: first album of hers is actually pretty good. I think
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: she's gotten more watered down and generic as time's gone on.
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: That first album's pretty solid, but even then it was like,
• 32:39
  Speaker 10: my thing is this note that only dogs can hear.
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: And I'm going to work it in as much as
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: possible because it's the one thing I can do that
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: all these other little pop diva girls can't do. So
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: she kind of banked on that. But she's still got
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: a good voice. And likes to, what's her activity now?
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: Have babies, I believe is what you said. She likes
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: cranking out kids.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: That's why the beautiful ones, baby, baby, baby.
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: She's just naming them as they're coming out. Another baby,
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: another baby, couple of twins, whatever. That's how Nick Cannon
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: likes it. Who marries Nick Cannon? What the hell is
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: she thinking?
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Man, I'm not big on, I don't know like pop
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: culture a whole lot. I didn't even know she was
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: married to Nick Cannon.
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: Yep. Sadly for her.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Yes. All right.
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: So I think at this point, based on a comment
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: you made earlier, we might disagree on this one. Cause
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: I was always, I mean, again, again, this album is
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: built on nothing but hits. Like it knocked out tons
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: of like huge hits for him. But to me, I
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: always thought the, the hidden gem, the one that nobody
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: paid attention to was computer blue and was one of
• 33:48
  Speaker 10: my favorite tracks on the album. And the one that
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: nobody ever cared about. So I don't know. I think
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: it's pretty amazing. It, Has a weird tie-in to the
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: movie that only makes sense if you watch the movie.
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: But I don't know. To me, it's one of the
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: more impressive ones musically. It kind of lets him shine
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: as the guitarist that he is in certain moments. And
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: it does that weird thing where it veers off and
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: does an entire different song.
• 34:12
  Speaker 14: At the end.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's a 100% different song at the end.
• 34:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah. And I kind of liked that. It was like
• 34:18
  Speaker 10: when I was a kid listening to this album, which
• 34:20
  Speaker 10: I did way too much probably. I remember that kind
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: of messing with my mind. I was like, wait, are
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: we still on the same track? And I had to
• 34:28
  Speaker 10: find the tape. No, it hasn't changed. I don't know.
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: It was confusing in a way that I think was
• 34:34
  Speaker 10: expanding my horizons. Prince expands horizons.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: He force fed you LSD through your ears.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: It has some interesting minor key moments and such like that.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: It just doesn't tickle my fancy as much as some
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: other songs on the album.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: That little movement change, for lack of a better word.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: After he recorded the song, here's what I'm imagining. He
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: records a song, he plays it for people who had
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: no part in the creation of it, so they don't
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: know what was going on. And then when that moment happens,
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: he's looking at them. And then a small grin appears.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: I think that's the process.
• 35:09
  Speaker 10: The really scary thing that you guys listening at home
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: just don't experience is that he just did the prince
• 35:14
  Speaker 10: looking at him face. It was pretty accurate. It's kind
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: of frightening, actually.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: He's got those dead eyes like Prince.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: Like a doll's eyes.
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: They roll back in his head when he bites down. Oh, wait. Prince,
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: he might.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: Strange dude.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Where is my love life?
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: What can it be? There must be something wrong with
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: the machine. Where is my life like?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Tell me, what happened? Somebody please tell me what the
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: hell is.
• 36:03
  Speaker 13: Wrong.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: To find.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: My righteous one, computer blue.
• 36:16
  Speaker 14: Till I find my righteous one, computer blue.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that was Of Montreal. Pretty much the only, that's
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: one of the ones that was hard to find other
• 38:37
  Speaker 10: covers of. That one came off that Purple Rain album
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: that's been put out, and that's one of the few
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: that hasn't had a million studio versions done. You can
• 38:46
  Speaker 10: occasionally find some live ones, but that's the one, again,
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: they've forgotten track that nobody covers over and over and
• 38:51
  Speaker 10: over again. Unlike the next one. When I started talking
• 38:56
  Speaker 10: to people this past year about, you know, let's talk
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: about this album. Let's talk about your favorite song. The, like,
• 39:02
  Speaker 10: knee-jerk reaction. Everybody immediately goes to Darling Nikki. That's all
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: anybody wants to talk about.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: That's what they play in Waffle House.
• 39:11
  Speaker 10: Strip clubs. I mean, obviously. It's just funny. And again,
• 39:16
  Speaker 10: I think it's that kid thing. I think when everybody
• 39:18
  Speaker 10: was at those formative years when this thing hit and
• 39:22
  Speaker 10: like it was all over TV and you watched it
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: on cable it was probably the raciest thing you'd ever
• 39:28
  Speaker 10: seen when you're a little kid. So it's just like,
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: it's grinding on stage is probably the weirdest thing you'd
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: ever seen as a kid watching this, uh, listening to it.
• 39:35
  Speaker 10: They say what in your mind is probably bad words.
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: So, I mean, you're not really sure how to process
• 39:41
  Speaker 10: it probably if you're hearing it when you're a kid.
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: And I think a lot of people did hear it
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: really young and we're just like this again, Expanding Horizons.
• 39:51
  Speaker 10: This one took you in a weird direction that you
• 39:53
  Speaker 10: were not prepared for when you were a youngster.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: A lot of kids asking difficult questions to their parents.
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: Mom, how do you use a magazine?
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: Is it normal to have to sign a contract before
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: you have sex?
• 40:07
  Speaker 10: Wait, that's not... Oh, never mind. There goes my weekend.
• 40:12
  Speaker 10: So of all the versions, and there were several out there,
• 40:15
  Speaker 10: but this one.
• 40:18
  Speaker 10: This one is very strange, and it takes a while
• 40:20
  Speaker 10: to get going, but I swear if you hang in there,
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: it's possibly the most perfect Darling Nikki cover ever. This
• 40:28
  Speaker 10: is Steven Bernstein. I believe he's known for his slide trumpet,
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: and he has played, he has weird little spinoff-like groups,
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: one of which is Sex Mob, the other is The
• 40:40
  Speaker 10: Hot Nine, so he's kind of big in his little world,
• 40:43
  Speaker 10: but yeah, it takes him a while to get into it,
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: but Once he gets going, it's a hell of a song.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: So so so Thank you. Thank you. We'll be right back.
• 46:14
  Speaker 10: This is the perfect cover because I watched and like, again,
• 46:18
  Speaker 10: all the super celebrity people that try to be racy
• 46:21
  Speaker 10: still trying to tap into this thing from 30 years ago.
• 46:24
  Speaker 10: Because just recently you see Rihanna on stage doing her
• 46:27
  Speaker 10: version of it. And she's dressed like Madonna 20 years ago.
• 46:30
  Speaker 10: And she's doing this very like cut and dry standard.
• 46:34
  Speaker 10: Look at me. I'm trying to be sexy version of it.
• 46:36
  Speaker 10: And it's so boring. And then I got to this
• 46:39
  Speaker 10: and I was just like, oh, no. those are dirty,
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: dirty horns. Like this is the most, I believe the
• 46:45
  Speaker 10: word you used was porny. And I'm like, it is
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: such a porn soundtrack that I'm like, that is Darling Nikki.
• 46:52
  Speaker 10: This is the perfect version of how you should play
• 46:55
  Speaker 10: Darling Nikki.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and everybody like nowadays when they're making a sex song,
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: they always use like analogies. They're using analogies for everything
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: where Prince is like masturbating.
• 47:03
  Speaker 10: To a magazine.
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: In the hotel lobby, by the way, exhibitionist.
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: She'll show you no mercy.
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that version was very sultry.
• 47:16
  Speaker 10: Yeah, see?
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: When I hear the horns with the little plunger thing
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: on them, ironically enough, it's sexy.
• 47:25
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, I like the plunger.
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: When I hear that, I just see the stockings falling
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: down legs.
• 47:34
  Speaker 10: I mean, is this not, like, the perfect strip song? Like,
• 47:37
  Speaker 10: especially that version of it.
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: The weird, like, old-timey sound is, like, this would be
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: a porn soundtrack for, like, a 1940 slapstick movie.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: Like, that's what it sounds like.
• 47:47
  Speaker 10: It just sounds like the raciest part of the Vaudeville act.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: I know, I know.
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: You're a woman who's been getting nothing but dirty brakes.
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: Well, we can clean and tighten your brakes, but you'll
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: have to stay in the garage all night.
• 47:57
  Speaker 10: I was not doing a ton of instrumentals. What's funny
• 48:00
  Speaker 10: is I found another one that was done by some
• 48:02
  Speaker 10: sort of It was still like a lot of horns
• 48:06
  Speaker 10: and it was done as like a pretty straightforward version
• 48:09
  Speaker 10: of it. And I'm like, it was terrible. And they
• 48:11
  Speaker 10: were trying to go for the same thing, but they
• 48:13
  Speaker 10: did it super straight, the most white version you could
• 48:17
  Speaker 10: do of it. And I'm just like, oh no.
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: No, no.
• 48:19
  Speaker 10: This is how you do that song. Like, yeah, this
• 48:22
  Speaker 10: is the only way to cover that song.
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: And the beginning of the song, you could even call
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: it foreplay.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's building up for foreplay. More than the
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: actual act lasts, which is very good.
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: The song lasts about 30 seconds. When he gets into it,
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: it's over.
• 48:42
  Speaker 10: There's the payoff. Money shot, if you will. This is
• 48:48
  Speaker 10: something I was going to ask you guys, depending on
• 48:50
  Speaker 10: how familiar you are with the album, but again, messing
• 48:53
  Speaker 10: with people back in the day, as you come to
• 48:56
  Speaker 10: the end of the track on the actual Prince album,
• 49:00
  Speaker 10: Do you remember the weird little thing it does at
• 49:02
  Speaker 10: the end?
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's another one where it sounds like it could
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: be a different song.
• 49:08
  Speaker 10: Well, it goes into the weird noises, and then he's talking,
• 49:13
  Speaker 10: but you can't really understand.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: But he's very religious.
• 49:17
  Speaker 10: He's backmasking.
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: Uh-oh.
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: Uh-oh.
• 49:50
  Speaker 10: But again, like, it's one of those, like, of all
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: the people to do that, you wouldn't see Prince. And
• 49:56
  Speaker 10: then he does it in his own Prince way, of course. Now,
• 50:00
  Speaker 10: this was the point where I'm like, I don't know
• 50:02
  Speaker 10: if I get more geek points. I think I just
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: get them like vicariously because I didn't do this. But
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: this is how long ago it was. Again, this was
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: like years ago, well before the Internet had taken off.
• 50:14
  Speaker 10: And the there was a guy that I knew that.
• 50:19
  Speaker 10: He had, again, this I don't even think was him.
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: I think he had a friend who had a four track.
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: He took that, ran it backwards and recorded it onto
• 50:27
  Speaker 10: a tape so that people could actually hear what it
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: was that it was. The word of God, yes. Yeah,
• 50:32
  Speaker 10: what was going on there. So this was, yeah, now
• 50:36
  Speaker 10: that's relatively easy to do with the computer world, but
• 50:38
  Speaker 10: the fact that you had to find some weirdo in
• 50:41
  Speaker 10: a garage with a four-track to do this, I thought
• 50:43
  Speaker 10: was like extra levels of geeky.
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: Get another Prince Stare after you do that.
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: It was like you had to go to Lone Gunman.
• 50:51
  Speaker 10: They have to move their crazy publication out of the
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: way to go over here and start listening to what
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: secret messages are in all your music, which I think
• 50:59
  Speaker 10: we should play for them now.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Hello, how are you? Fine, fine, cause I know that
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: the Lord is coming through. Coming, coming to you.
• 51:34
  Speaker 10: Oh, God, I love Prince. He really is. He's a
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: crazy man.
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: He really is the antithesis to his feared Illuminati.
• 51:44
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: With the backmasking, instead of like, something like this, it's like, hey.
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: Well, I like that because that was also when it
• 51:51
  Speaker 10: was like knee deep in that. Like that's right in
• 51:54
  Speaker 10: the middle of probably like Judas Priest going on trial
• 51:57
  Speaker 10: and Ozzy getting in trouble for killing kids. And Prince
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: is like, oh, I'm going to put some backward stuff
• 52:01
  Speaker 10: on my record. Hello. Have a nice day. And God
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: loves you and shit like that.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: But, you know, hey, hopefully this subliminal message will make
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: someone feel good.
• 52:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I kind of like that again, just because it's
• 52:14
  Speaker 10: so screw you guys. I'm going to do what I want. Again,
• 52:19
  Speaker 10: always just sort of maverick that he is. I'm going
• 52:22
  Speaker 10: to do what I want. I'm Prince, damn it.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: My name is Prince, and I am funky.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: My name is Prince, the one and only.
• 52:35
  Speaker 11: I did not come to funk around till I get
• 52:40
  Speaker 11: your daughter.
• 52:42

  Speaker 2: Movie Meltdown.
• 53:34
  Speaker 10: Shane's got a really good movie announcer voice.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Movie Meltdown in a world of total darkness.
• 53:52
  Speaker 10: All right, so we've finished Side A. Flip the tape over.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: Now....
• 53:57
  Speaker 10: Sorry, it was 1984. So now we get to... I
• 54:02
  Speaker 10: believe this was the biggest single off an album that
• 54:05
  Speaker 10: was already full of huge singles. I think of all
• 54:08
  Speaker 10: of them, When Doves Cry was the biggest hit, had
• 54:11
  Speaker 10: probably the most viewed music video. It was the single
• 54:16
  Speaker 10: for that whole album. And again, I did not think
• 54:19
  Speaker 10: this was the version I was going to go to
• 54:21
  Speaker 10: when I saw it listed there. I'm like, genuine, really?
• 54:26
  Speaker 10: I didn't get near as excited as somebody did.
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: I got excited.
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: 90s R & B?
• 54:31
  Speaker 10: Come on.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: But that's the thing.
• 54:33
  Speaker 10: I thought it was going to go more boringly 90s
• 54:37
  Speaker 10: R & B traditional way. And then he gets into it,
• 54:39
  Speaker 10: and he's just kind of getting into it. He just
• 54:42
  Speaker 10: said 90s R & B is boring. A lot of it, yeah.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right.
• 54:46
  Speaker 10: A lot of, I mean, again, this is what many
• 54:48
  Speaker 10: people would still consider Mariah Carey. She considers herself R
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: & B. She's kind of wrong, but again, that was, well,
• 54:57
  Speaker 10: that's where she started from. That whole first album would
• 55:00
  Speaker 10: have been categorized as R & B where, I mean,
• 55:03
  Speaker 10: she's nothing but pop through and through, truthfully, but I
• 55:06
  Speaker 10: don't know. So to me, yeah, there's some scary 90s
• 55:10
  Speaker 10: R & B, but this was an interesting version. I
• 55:13
  Speaker 10: ended up liking it a lot more than I expected.
• 55:45
  Speaker 11: I swear to God.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: I feel the heat.
• 56:13
  Speaker 10: Thank you.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 56:54
  Speaker 11: Touch if you will, you must have made. I feel
• 57:00
  Speaker 11: how it trembles inside. You've got the butterflies all tied up.
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: Don't make me change. Even dogs have pride.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: In a world so cold Maybe I'm just stupid Maybe,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: maybe Maybe I'm just like my mom Maybe I'm just
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: like my mother.
• 57:35
  Speaker 7: Maybe I'm just like my mother She's never.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: Satisfied Never satisfied Why? Why? This is what it sounds.
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: Like When does it rise?
• 58:08
  Speaker 13: .
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: .
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: My partner, you know, you know, you.
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: Know it's too poor Maybe I'm just.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Like my mother She's never satisfied Why do we scream
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: at each other?
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: This is what it.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: Sounds like Windows.
• 58:52
  Speaker 10: Drive All right. Do you need to continue? your dancing, Jacqueline? No,
• 59:11
  Speaker 10: I'm done, I'm done.
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: You stopped the music. I can't keep dancing.
• 59:16
  Speaker 10: The track has come to an end, and now we
• 59:18
  Speaker 10: must continue on on our journey. Do you want to
• 59:21
  Speaker 10: hit some more Genuine? Any more love for Genuine there?
• 59:25
  Speaker 6: I did like how, in the cover, he kind of
• 59:30
  Speaker 6: did it his own way, but he also... his own
• 59:34
  Speaker 6: interpretation of it was very Prince-like. There's those little loop
• 59:37
  Speaker 6: sounds in the background.
• 59:38
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 59:39
  Speaker 10: Which also had a weird jungle sound going on. And
• 59:42
  Speaker 10: he didn't mess with.
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: The vocals too much. He didn't do anything crazy.
• 59:45
  Speaker 10: I was like tying in a little jungle love in
• 59:47
  Speaker 10: the background. He did drop the beat out.
• 59:50
  Speaker 11: True. Yeah.
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: That is probably my favorite too, off the album. Not
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: to be like everybody else, but I just like when
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: Prince is like, I got issues. Maybe I'm too much
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: like my father.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 10: He definitely does.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: In a sense.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 10: And he found a great way to work them out. Actually,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 10: if I remember, that's the one that wasn't even on
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 10: the soundtrack when he took it to the label and
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 10: was putting the stuff together for the movie. They were
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 10: just like, eh, it's a little short. Can we throw
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 10: another song in there? And he went home for like
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 10: a weekend. And all of that is him. Again, I
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 10: don't think there's any in the revolution there. I think
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 10: he sat at home, worked all that out musically, laid
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 10: down the tracks, went back in and handed it to him.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 10: And that version that's on the album is the version
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 10: he put together himself. That weekend. I'm just like, good lord.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 10: The biggest song off the album, he just sat down
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 10: one weekend and.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: Knocked it out.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: He's like, I can come up with two minutes of
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: one instrument part for a song over the weekend.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 10: I know. Again, he is a genius. You have to
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 10: give him credit. He just knocked out the biggest number
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 10: on the album in a weekend because they said, hey,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 10: can you come up with another song? He's like, oh,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 10: I can come up with another song. He probably didn't.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 6: Even stay at home that weekend. He probably went out.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 10: And still wrote it. He was taking the limo back
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 10: to the mansion, and he was like, oh, think of... Yeah,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 10: let me write something down. Hold on a sec. Dig
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 10: if you will. Take a left here. Okay, so now
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 10: we get to what I think is my favorite song
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 10: on this soundtrack. This version is the most fun of
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 10: any song you're ever going to get. I like the style.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 10: It applies to this song, and.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think we better just get to it and
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 10: we'll discuss it when we come back.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: I'm something that you'll never understand. I'll never beat you.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: I'll never lie. And if you're evil, I'll forgive you
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: right back up.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 8: But I wouldn't die for you, yeah. But I wouldn't
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 8: die for you, yeah.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: You're just a sinner, I'm told.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 7: I'll be your fire when you're cold. I'll make you
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 7: happy whenever.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: You say it.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: I'll make you good when you're bad.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: I am not human and.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 7: I'm not a dove. I am your conscience, I am
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: your love. And baby, all that I really need is
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: to know that you're mine.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: Darling, if you want me to Darling, if you want
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: me to Darling, if you want.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: Me to You know that I'd die for you Darling.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: If you want me to You know that I'd die
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 14: See, what I like so much about this song is
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 14: it's genuine in its.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Traditionalness. Like, it is set.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 10: Up like a standard mariachi song, but then when they
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 10: get to the lyrics and when they get to his
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 10: vocal performance, it's very genuine in its interpretation of it.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 10: I think he really does a good version, and it
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 10: does actually feel like it has more heart than you
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 10: would assume a cheesy cover with mariachi background would be,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 10: but it comes through as a pretty strong song, I think,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 10: and yet is so much fun when you add in
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 10: the crazy mariachi background that it's I don't know. I really,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 10: really like that.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: It's almost too much fun for I would die for you.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 10: It's like, let's throw a party.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: I'm going to die for you.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 10: That's one of the heavier songs if you go through
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 10: the lyrics of it. It's a pretty deep song and
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 10: it is all taken directly from his life. Again, the
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 10: stuff in the movie there of his mom and dad
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 10: really happened. The line, I would die for you, he
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 10: heard his father say to his mother, probably after beating
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 10: the hell out of her. So it's like, that is
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 10: all really out of Prince's life. So again, it is
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 10: kind of weird to now filter it through this fun
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 10: mariachi band. But again, I think they do such a
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 10: solid job on that song that it's, yeah, I think
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 10: it's my favorite one on this. This whole accumulation. Yeah.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 10: And again, I always promise an eclectic mixture. And this
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 10: one is definitely mixing it up.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 6: Return of the Horns, again.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 6: They're not sexy horns.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: They're just very.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 10: They're way more upbeat. Return of the Horns. Way more upbeat.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 10: All right. So now, baby, I'm a star.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: I am the greatest.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 6: And they're all about me. And that's what his dad
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 6: would say. His dad would say that to himself in
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 6: the mirror. That's where he got that line from.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 10: Probably so. This version is Buddy Miles, and he gets
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 10: what the song is going for.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: I'm a big, bright, shining star.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: You know I'm talking about my dreams always coming true.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: Look me over Tell me, do you like what you see?
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: I'm rich on personality.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, check it all out.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: Baby, I know what.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 7: It's all about.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: For a night or two, you'll see my point of view.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Even if I have to scream and shout. Baby, I'm
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: a star. And I know it now.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: Hey, take a listen. Tell me, do you like what
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: you hear? The beat don't.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: Turn you on.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: Just say the word, I'm gone. Honey, I know ain't
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: nothing wrong with your ears. Hey, take it all out.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Don't look now, it just might be too late. If
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: my luck don't change tonight, there's got to be.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: A better life. Take a picture, sweetie.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: I ain't got time to waste. I'm a liar. I
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: don't want to stop till I reach the top.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 11: You might.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 10: Not know it now.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 8: Baby, I'm a star.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: I'm a star. I don't want to stop till I
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: reach the top.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 9: Baby, I just want to be what you want me
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 9: to be.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: I want to be a star. Nothing comes too easy.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm all about.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Keep screaming, shout.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: Baby, baby, baby, baby. You might not know it now. Baby,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: I'm a star, I'm a star. I don't want to
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: stop till I reach the top. Maybe, maybe somebody's lost us. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: I want to do that. I'm a star.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, baby, I'm a star.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 10: Buddy Miles.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 10: I think he takes it a very sort of old
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 10: school blues version, meshed with rock the way most of
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 10: them become at this point. But, I mean, that is
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 10: still the very basis of that. Like if somebody gets
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 10: the message of that song is, hey, look how awesome
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 10: I am.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 6: The sound of the song is very like establishing shots
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 6: of big skyscrapers. You know, before revealing some Wall Street
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 6: guy on a corner.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 10: Are you shooting your own video? Wait a minute.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 6: It's a nice purple dress.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: It's very purpley.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 10: So, I don't know. We're rounding it out. We're wrapping
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 10: up the soundtrack here. And it goes out with the
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 10: most somber of the bunch. It's the lighter tune. It's like,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 10: bust out your phones and hold them up now. You
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 10: can't use lighters anymore. But get out your lighter app
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 10: and get ready to rock out. But this version, I thought,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 10: I don't know. And I don't even know. Are you
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 10: familiar with this girl? Because I'm not even 100% sure
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 10: how to pronounce it. It's U-R-S. I'm not 100% on that. See,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 10: that's what I'm saying. Is it Ursel? Urseli. We're going
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 10: to call her Ursel. Cause that's the thing. I really
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 10: couldn't find much else about her. There's that album that
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 10: she's done and she's got good amount of music out there,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 10: but I couldn't really find anything on her or like
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 10: there were no interviews with her. Like I haven't seen
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 10: her like going on shows, promoting things. Like she just
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 10: sort of threw some music out into the world and
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 10: then disappeared. I don't know. But she has like, I
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 10: guess it's her thing is to do these like sort
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 10: of jazzy covers of popular songs. So she took a
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 10: whole bunch of them from the 90s and like did
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 10: this like reinterpretation of them. And then somewhere before that,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 10: she pulled Purple Rain and did a version. And it's
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 10: I thought it was a different way to go with
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 10: it because it seems like you're going to go the
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 10: very standard. I don't know. Like to me, it's so
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 10: straightforward the way Purple Rain is. It's just a big
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 10: ballady kind of a heartstring song. And like that's the
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 10: way most people are going to take it. She at
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 10: least does a different version with it. that I think
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 10: is kind.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: Of interesting I never.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 5: Meant to cause you any.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: Sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: only wanted to one time see you laughing I only
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: wanna see you laughing in the proper rain Purple rain,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 5: Rain I only wanna.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: See you bathing in the purple rain.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: I never wanted to be your weekend lover.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: I only wanted to be some kind of friend Baby.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 5: I could never steal you.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: From another It's such a shame our friendship had to
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: end Purple rain.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: Purple rain.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 9: I only wanna see you underneath the.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 5: Purple rain Honey, I know, I know.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: The times are changing.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 5: It's time we all return for something new That means
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 5: you too You say you wanna lay down But you
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 5: can't seem to make up your mind I think you
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: better close up And get into the.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 9: Purple rain Purple rain Purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Oh,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 9: purple rain, purple rain I wanna see you, wanna see
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 9: you In the purple rain For the way I am
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 9: So that I wanna see you.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 10: Again, she's got sort of the somber down, but she
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 10: adds in the very skilled piano and very jazzy sound
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 10: to it.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 6: Very tender and vulnerable voice.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 4: I can't tell if she's playing piano or if she's
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: sitting on top of the piano. She could be either.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 10: I think she can do both. She's that good.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 10: That was a good version, I thought. And still kind
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 10: of keeps the tone of what the song is doing. Yeah,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 10: she's a sad tick. definitely puts her own spin on
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 10: it though I was like that's pretty cool.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: And that's gospel-y like a big chorus of people.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah putting your own spin on it is what a
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 6: good cover is what makes.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 4: A good cover I think so way to take my
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: own words spin them back at me I did I did.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry I should have sourced that little.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 4: Quote or I'll sue you like Prince would.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 10: All right, so we've been on this 30-year journey to
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 10: get through this soundtrack. So what do you take from it?
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 10: What is your experience with this soundtrack and Prince that
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 10: has made your life so much richer?
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 4: That mariachi band.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 10: Damn straight.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: Just filled my life with happiness.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 4: I think there needs, I mean, you had kind of
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: a hard time finding all of these covers, so there
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 4: should probably be more.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: But Underground.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: Underground.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 10: Again, I don't know. That's why I wasn't sure if
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 10: I was going to be able to find a ton.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 10: That's why I thought maybe we would just kind of
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 10: pick the best we could. And I was afraid it
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 10: was all going to end up off that same, you know,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 10: spin album. But then the more I got into it,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 10: there are other ones. But I figured because he's so... Yeah.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 10: Incubus did a fine job. Maybe we'll spin off onto
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 10: volume two and do some more of these. Because I
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 10: found enough that I think we could put together an
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 10: entire other soundtrack of Of alternate versions done. So, yeah.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 6: To be continued.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 10: Maybe so.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 5: Maybe we'll.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: Throw a little ink here.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: Movie meltdown.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 10: But, yeah, it was interesting. I thought because he's so
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 10: litigious that, like, maybe that would keep people from covering
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 10: him because they thought he would be really weird about it,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 10: which he probably is, or they'd assumed it would cost
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 10: way too much money to cover it, which it probably does,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 10: so I don't know how all that really works, but
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 10: there's still more covers out there than I thought there
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 10: would be. Some of them are hard to come by, though.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 10: There are a few that have made their way underground,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 10: it seems, but... We're going to do a cover.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 6: We are, yeah.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: I just decided that.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: I was trying to sound like a new.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 10: When do I show up to do the vocals? Because
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 10: I've been working on a killer When Doves Cry.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: I actually was thinking about when we get home, I
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 6: was going to look up Purple Rain. I was just
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 6: going to play it for myself.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: What?
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: Okay, but I know Purple Rain isn't your favorite album.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 6: It's not my favorite Prince album. Right, that's what I meant.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: But what one would you want to cover?
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 6: From Purple Rain?
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: From Purple Rain and just from Prince in general.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 6: Okay, from Purple Rain, specifically, probably Purple Rain, the title track.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: When Doves Cry is good, too, and it's a minimal setup.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 6: That song was originally.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 6: But other Prince songs, The Ballad of Dorothy Parker, or
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 6: If I Was Your Girlfriend.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: Both of those.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 10: So you're a sign of the times, man.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 6: I am a sign of the times, man.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 10: See, of the ones I think is awesome on that album,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 10: The Cross is. Religious. Super religious, but I'm like, the
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 10: way that that is structured and the way that he
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 10: sets it all up, it's so well done that I'm
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 10: just like, religious or not, it's an awesome song. And
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 10: you got the look. Anytime we can work in some
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 10: Sheely on this thing, that's all good. Another connection of his.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: Another.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 10: Of his mini. Of his mini song. chicks in his entourage.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 12: How many girls have you even slept with like two
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 12: and a half two and a half.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 10: What is a half your hand all right do you
