• 1:32
  Speaker 9: What's up, and welcome to Movie Meltdown's Attack of the
• 1:34
  Speaker 9: Killers soundtrack. I'm Brian, and this week marks the last
• 1:38
  Speaker 9: episode of 2014. And since this past year has been
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: the 30th anniversary of Purple Rain, traditionally the Pearl anniversary,
• 1:46
  Speaker 9: I thought we would put.
• 1:46
  Speaker 10: Together Pearl Rain.
• 1:48
  Speaker 9: A special retrospective of Prince's monumental soundtrack. So for most
• 1:52
  Speaker 9: of this past year, I've been planning and working on
• 1:55
  Speaker 9: this episode, finding new versions of the songs and talking
• 1:58
  Speaker 9: to different people about the soundtrack, and the more I
• 2:01
  Speaker 9: worked on it, the more material I had. So much
• 2:04
  Speaker 9: so that I saw we could easily do two different
• 2:07
  Speaker 9: episodes and assemble two completely different versions of the soundtrack.
• 2:11
  Speaker 9: So that's what we're doing here, finishing up the second
• 2:14
  Speaker 9: half of this epic musical journey. Now, if you haven't
• 2:17
  Speaker 9: listened to the other half, feel free to go back
• 2:19
  Speaker 9: a few episodes and you'll find Volume 1, where I
• 2:22
  Speaker 9: sat down with Jacqueline and Nick and we discussed, very frankly,
• 2:25
  Speaker 9: our thoughts on Prince and his amazing music. But this
• 2:28
  Speaker 9: time we're going to go out in the world and
• 2:30
  Speaker 9: talk with a lot of different people about our soundtrack.
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: One of the main places I talked with people was
• 2:35
  Speaker 9: at the 30th anniversary party for the movie put together
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: by Allison Longmire and the people over at Art FM.
• 2:41
  Speaker 9: They run a great independent radio station that you can
• 2:43
  Speaker 9: actually check out online at ArtXFM.com. But at that event,
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: there were obviously quite a few Prince fans on hand,
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: and several singers and musicians who performed their own versions
• 2:54
  Speaker 9: of the songs after they showed the movie that night.
• 2:57
  Speaker 9: So I talked to quite a few of them, who
• 2:58
  Speaker 9: we will check in with throughout this episode. Plus, I've
• 3:01
  Speaker 9: talked to several of our special guest co-hosts who've been
• 3:04
  Speaker 9: on the show this past year. So we'll also get
• 3:06
  Speaker 9: some comments from them as we go along as well.
• 3:09
  Speaker 9: All that having been said.
• 3:10
  Speaker 10: Let's get started.
• 3:12
  Speaker 11: At my signal, unleash hell.
• 3:15
  Speaker 9: Now, I talked with our friend Joe that night at
• 3:17
  Speaker 9: the Purple Rain event, and we talked about getting that
• 3:19
  Speaker 9: event started, so I thought he would be a good
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: way to kick off this episode.
• 3:32
  Speaker 10: All right, so give us your name, sir.
• 3:34
  Speaker 12: I'm Joseph Dukowitz.
• 3:36
  Speaker 10: And you are the Master of Ceremonies tonight? That's true.
• 3:38
  Speaker 12: I am the Master of Ceremonies tonight.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: The question of the night is, what was your first
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: memory of Prince? Where did he enter your life?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 3:47
  Speaker 12: That was a long time ago. It's a fuzzy memory now,
• 3:50
  Speaker 12: and much of it's not. Is this a family program?
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: We've covered that earlier. We're trying to get people to
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: curse as much as possible, really. So feel free to
• 3:58
  Speaker 9: go to town.
• 3:59
  Speaker 13: Oh, geez.
• 4:00
  Speaker 12: Well, I can't really do that, but I will say
• 4:02
  Speaker 12: that it was probably somewhere in around 1984, 83. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 12: think this was right before Purple Rain. And my specific
• 4:12
  Speaker 12: memory is Purple Rain was now a thing. So this
• 4:17
  Speaker 12: is 1984. Jump back here.
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: You might want to edit all this.
• 4:20
  Speaker 13: The rambling.
• 4:21
  Speaker 12: And I remember watching something like Star Search or an
• 4:24
  Speaker 12: equivalent show. And there was a lady on the show
• 4:28
  Speaker 12: who was there doing her very best impression of Prince.
• 4:32
  Speaker 12: And she had a Prince tattoo, like, on her neck.
• 4:36
  Speaker 12: This was kind of during a time where that's not
• 4:37
  Speaker 12: something that unless you're in prison, you probably would do.
• 4:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it was a different world in 84.
• 4:42
  Speaker 12: And the host of the show is like, wow, you're really,
• 4:45
  Speaker 12: really pretty, you know, taken with Prince. And she's like,
• 4:49
  Speaker 12: I hope he sees this and he'll marry me. And
• 4:53
  Speaker 12: I was really, at that point, as a 13 or
• 4:55
  Speaker 12: 14-year-old person, I was really impressed of just the dynamic
• 5:00
  Speaker 12: relationship vortex of energy that Prince would pull people in
• 5:04
  Speaker 12: with and I felt that too and it's like wow
• 5:07
  Speaker 12: well if it doesn't work out with Prince and that
• 5:09
  Speaker 12: lady maybe that lady could hook up with me so
• 5:13
  Speaker 12: that never worked out and that's the true story that's
• 5:15
  Speaker 12: probably the most memorable experience in the early years with Prince.
• 5:20
  Speaker 10: Is it ready to roll?
• 5:22
  Speaker 12: It is show time alright thank you very.
• 5:24
  Speaker 10: Much it's time to kick off the show let's do that.
• 5:27
  Speaker 14: Dearly beloved We are gathered here today.
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: To get through this thing called life.
• 5:35
  Speaker 14: Electric word life, that means forever, and that's a mighty
• 5:38
  Speaker 14: long time. But I'm here to tell you, there's something else.
• 5:42
  Speaker 14: The afterworld. A world of never-ending happiness. You can always
• 5:49
  Speaker 14: see the sun, day or night. So when you call
• 5:56
  Speaker 14: up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Know the one.
• 5:58
  Speaker 15: Dr.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Everything will be all right.
• 6:00
  Speaker 14: Instead of asking how much time you have left, ask
• 6:03
  Speaker 14: how much of your mind, baby. Because in this life,
• 6:07
  Speaker 14: things are much harder than in the afterworld.
• 6:08
  Speaker 10: In this life, you're on your own. And if the elevator.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Tries to break you down, go crazy. Punch a higher floor.

  Speaker 18: Go wrong Girls.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: And frills and daffodils will kill Big tough children Let's go.
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: Yes, if you were paying attention at the end of
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: Volume 1, you heard Jacqueline hint at that band. She
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: seemed rather perplexed at the fact that Incubus had done
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: a cover of Let's Go Crazy. A little strange, but
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: I went with that one specifically because, if nothing else,
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: they deliver on the guitar solo. which is kind of
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: essential if you're going to cover Let's Go Crazy. Speaking
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: of Prince as a guitarist, at the live event, I
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: talked with Craig, one of the featured guitarists on.
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: Hand that night, and asked him his thoughts on just that.
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: All right, so could you tell us your name? Oh,
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: Craig Wagner.
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: You just did a pretty impressive solo there.
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: What are your thoughts on Prince as a guitarist, I suppose?
• 10:31
  Speaker 10: I love Prince's guitar playing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 19: In the same way, I kind of love Zappa's guitar
• 10:36
  Speaker 19: playing and everything that had this own character. It kind
• 10:39
  Speaker 19: of came out of Hendrix, but it had its own
• 10:42
  Speaker 19: direction after that. I mean, sonically, it was coming from
• 10:44
  Speaker 19: that point of view. But he's such an amazing musician,
• 10:48
  Speaker 19: you know?
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 10: All the subtle stuff he does.
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: Like a signature sound that not every guitar player can have.
• 10:55
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know.
• 10:56
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, I love his guitar playing always. I
• 11:00
  Speaker 19: actually wish I'd heard more of it on his records,
• 11:03
  Speaker 19: you know. But on this album, you hear probably about
• 11:07
  Speaker 19: as much of it you do on any other one.
• 11:09
  Speaker 19: Let's Go Crazy and this tune and, you.
• 11:11
  Speaker 17: Know, so.
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that guitar solo on Let's Go Crazy is amazing too.
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: How technically challenging is his compared to other guitars?
• 11:23
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's definitely up there, man.
• 11:26
  Speaker 19: You know, he's a top-notch guitar player, especially in, like,
• 11:31
  Speaker 19: the kind of blues rock, kind of, you know, post-Hendrix
• 11:35
  Speaker 19: kind of vein, right?
• 11:37
  Speaker 20: To me, anyway.
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: So now we're going to go to one of those
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: extra special guests I mentioned earlier. Before we head into
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: the next song, we're going to talk with none other
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: than Miss Lisa Loeb.
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: Are you a Prince fan?
• 11:59
  Speaker 21: I'm a huge Prince fan.
• 12:01
  Speaker 18: I will say, though, that I like the music from
• 12:03
  Speaker 18: his movies better than the movies. Like, I am obsessed
• 12:06
  Speaker 18: with the Under Cherry Moon soundtrack album.
• 12:09
  Speaker 10: Oh, my God.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 12:10
  Speaker 21: But it was hard to watch the movie.
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: It's a strange movie but I'm actually doing a special
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: episode on the it's the this year is the 30th
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: anniversary of Purple.
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: Rain which is kind of staggering but but.
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah I'm trying to have people kind of pick their
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: favorite songs or like from Purple Rain.
• 12:29
  Speaker 18: I'm trying to think what else is on Purple Rain
• 12:30
  Speaker 18: oh my gosh oh there's so many great songs on
• 12:33
  Speaker 18: this album Take Me With You is pretty great yeah
• 12:41
  Speaker 18: It has those slightly out-of-tune bells.
• 12:43
  Speaker 13: And things like that in it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: Well, that's the duet one, too.
• 12:47
  Speaker 9: To me, she's got a weird delivery on that, so
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: I think you need to re-record that now.
• 12:51
  Speaker 21: Oh, interesting.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: Interesting.
• 12:53
  Speaker 21: That's a good choice.
• 12:53
  Speaker 10: That's a good idea.
• 12:55
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I do love Take Me With You. I think
• 12:56
  Speaker 21: it's one of my favorites off of that. It's so great.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: ¶ ¶ I can't disguise.

  Speaker 3: Don't care where we go I don't care what we
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: do I don't care pretty baby, just take me with you.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: I don't care if you spend the night at your mansion.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I don't care if you spend the night on the town.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: All I want is to spend.

  Speaker 3: me with you.
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: And that was Charlene Spiteri's version of Take Me With You.
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: Now I know I was going to have to work
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: that one in there because I was a big Texas
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: fan all the way back to their first album. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: I thought it was interesting in more recent years that
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: Charlene had done not just a solo album, but a
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: solo album that was strictly songs from movies. So not
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: only was it great to find out she's covered Take
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: Me With You, but there's some other interesting songs on there,
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: so I'm sure we will return to that solo album
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: in future episodes.

• 17:32
  Speaker 9: a previous episode. They are a great band. Check them
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: out if they're playing near you. But that night, they
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: were hanging outside the venue with me, and we talked
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: quite a bit about our man of the hour, Prince.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: It's kind of annoying when a guy can sing higher
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: than you effortlessly.
• 18:02
  Speaker 10: Prince is a special, special guy.
• 18:04
  Speaker 11: He's very special.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I'm not thinking he's a boring guy.
• 18:08
  Speaker 21: I'm a little bit, like, boring for Prince.
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: He's, yeah.
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: So I figured if you got in trouble with girls,
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: I remember when we watched the movie and did the episode,
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: I pointed out, like, how is he not, like, how
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: does he... hook up with all these girls when truthfully
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: like he can wear.
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: Clothes skinnier than theirs and they'd be like screw you
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: buddy I'm out of here like.
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: You stole my jean yeah like some of the pants
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: he wears in this movie I'm just like he's tiny
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: like maybe like I don't I don't want to go
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: out with a guy that's skinnier no screw you buddy
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: all right so we're here with back with Sarah previous

  Speaker 24: So, I'm Sarah Swain from the Ladybirds, and this is
• 18:52

• 18:56

• 19:08
  Speaker 24: a song a little bit later, too. So, we're batting
• 19:10
  Speaker 24: down the hatches for a big old night.
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: So, I guess the question for... for the night is what,
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: where was your first interaction with Prince? What was the
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: first time you remember seeing this guy, I guess, crazy character,
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: whatever he is that, cause I remember seeing him that
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: first time and being like, I don't know how to
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: process this.
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: I don't know what it is.
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: So yeah. What is this guy doing?
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: Like he's, he's very strange, but I was a small child. So,
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: you know, we were confused anyway.
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: So what, I don't know. What was your first, uh,
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: remembrances of Prince?
• 19:39
  Speaker 24: That's a great question. Well, Prince is certainly a lot
• 19:41
  Speaker 24: to take in. especially for a child. We're all kids
• 19:44
  Speaker 24: of the 80s. But the first song I remember of
• 19:47
  Speaker 24: his is definitely Raspberry Beret.
• 19:50
  Speaker 21: But I don't really recall the music video.
• 19:52
  Speaker 24: So I just kind of, you know, it was more
• 19:54
  Speaker 24: auditory and less visual, even though there's a lot visually
• 19:58
  Speaker 24: there when that finally did roll around. Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 21: But yeah, Raspberry Beret was my jam.
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: It's sort of a cartoon.
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: It's live action, but it feels sort of like a cartoon,
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: that video.
• 20:09
  Speaker 21: Everything about him feels a little like a cartoon.
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: You might have a point there.
• 20:12
  Speaker 24: It's just too, it's so cool and perfect. It's like,
• 20:15
  Speaker 24: can't be real life, you know? Another, well, so Little
• 20:19
  Speaker 24: Red Corvette is another one of my favorites. The raspberry
• 20:24
  Speaker 24: and the red go well together.
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: He does have a color thing, doesn't he?
• 20:28
  Speaker 16: Mm-hmm.
• 20:28
  Speaker 24: And with the purple, yeah, yeah. He's got a really
• 20:31
  Speaker 24: good color palette. They say that purple is the color
• 20:33
  Speaker 24: of royalty, so... He is Prince. Yeah, yeah, obviously.
• 20:37
  Speaker 21: It's a good choice.
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: At some point, will he, like, graduate up?
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: Will he end up being king somewhere, like, when he's
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: 80 or 90?
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know.
• 20:44
  Speaker 24: The etiquette on that. Because, like, you know, Elvis is
• 20:46
  Speaker 24: the king. Well, the king of rock and roll. Prince, actually,
• 20:49
  Speaker 24: I do feel like he should be king of what
• 20:51
  Speaker 24: would you even say his particular.
• 20:53
  Speaker 21: Genre is, like.
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 20:56
  Speaker 21: Grind pop, sexy grind pop with lace cuffs.
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: I don't know, because then Michael started trying to, like,
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: horn in on that area. Because I remember before, like, years,
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: but kind of before he went into that, like, shutdown mode. But, like,
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: those last 10 or 15 years, at some point he
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: declared himself the king of rock, pop, and soul.
• 21:14
  Speaker 21: Oh, you can just call all those genres.
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: I was like, that's all. I mean, you are a
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: lot of crossover, Michael. I'll give you that. But I
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: was like, that's a bold statement.
• 21:22
  Speaker 21: That is bold. Yeah, very bold.
• 21:24
  Speaker 24: I feel like James Brown might have something to say,
• 21:26
  Speaker 24: although he's the godfather.
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: So, yeah.
• 21:29
  Speaker 24: There's enough titles. Really, there are enough titles to go
• 21:31
  Speaker 24: around for everyone, I guess, as long as we can
• 21:33
  Speaker 24: get creative.
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: Everybody just needs to make up a new thing for them.
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: The viceroy of rock and roll.
• 21:38
  Speaker 21: Yeah, nice. That's perfect.
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: Patented.
• 21:41
  Speaker 21: Yeah, that's right. TM, trademark, bam, done.
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: Copyright pending.
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: Nice.
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: We go into all the stuff.
• 21:49
  Speaker 25: Absolutely.
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: Memories of favorite songs.
• 21:52
  Speaker 21: I think that's a great question.
• 21:54
  Speaker 24: Yeah, and I wish I had some really super vivid
• 21:58
  Speaker 24: flashbulb tableau where it's.
• 22:00
  Speaker 21: Like I was here and then the lights dimmed and bam, explosion.
• 22:05
  Speaker 24: But it was just kind of growing up. I was
• 22:06
  Speaker 24: born in 1980. Do the math.
• 22:09
  Speaker 21: I don't like math. It grew up me either boring.
• 22:12
  Speaker 24: But so when you grow up with something, it's kind
• 22:14
  Speaker 24: of just the norm, like when you know something was
• 22:16
  Speaker 24: around before you were. So it was just like, yeah.
• 22:19
  Speaker 24: prince androgynous like he's so ladylike and sexy i don't
• 22:24
  Speaker 24: understand how i'm feeling but i love all these songs
• 22:26
  Speaker 24: you know can't.
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: Argue that here's the question the old school purple rain
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: question did you have it on cassette tape.

• 23:16
  Speaker 10: The.
• 23:16
  Speaker 26: Beautiful Ones is like one of the most amazing songs.
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: It's so dramatic and, you know, it's so intense.
• 23:23
  Speaker 26: I've always had a soft spot for that one.
• 23:25
  Speaker 15: Baby, baby, baby What's it gonna be?

  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 30: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 25: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:13
  Speaker 30: Yeah.
• 26:13
  Speaker 25: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:13
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 30: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 16: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:18
  Speaker 25: Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:18
  Speaker 25: Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: Candace is actually from Nashville, but relocated to New York City,
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: and in November of 2013, she sat down at a
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: piano at Capitol Studios and sang one song.
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: One song.
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: She was so impressive in that one song that Blue
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: Note Records president Mr. Don Was offered her a record
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: deal on the spot.
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: Rightfully so, I might add.
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: And if that wasn't enough, Prince himself heard her doing
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: a cover of Sam Smith's song.
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: Stay With Me online.
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: and ask her to perform at Paisley Park for his
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: own Purple Rain 30th Anniversary Celebration. Which was probably about
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: as cool as this one, but either way, that's quite
• 27:02
  Speaker 9: an honor. Candice is currently working on her debut solo
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: album to be released in the spring of 2015, and
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: I would say to look for it. She definitely made
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: that song her own and took it in a completely
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: different direction. Tone down the angstiness that kicks in towards
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: the end of the original, but without sacrificing any of
• 27:19
  Speaker 9: the soulfulness. In fact, maybe adds a new, different layer
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: to it. It's a great version of that song.
• 27:25
  Speaker 31: This is the kind of music that tells me to
• 27:27
  Speaker 31: go out there and free somebody!
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: And as we head into the next song, let's check
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: back in with Craig. Of all the ones here, what
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: is sort of your favorite track on that album?
• 27:36
  Speaker 19: I mean, I love When Doves Cry a lot. There's
• 27:38
  Speaker 19: that one little, what is it called? There's this one
• 27:41
  Speaker 19: little instrumental thing. It was like that tune that his
• 27:44
  Speaker 19: dad wrote.
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: What was that? That's the end of Computer Blue. Yeah,
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: Computer Blue. I love that tune.
• 27:51
  Speaker 27: Computer Blue.
• 28:16
  Speaker 17: Until I find the.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: One that's wrong.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: Yes, Computer Blue, as I've mentioned on several previous episodes.
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: Possibly my favorite track on the album, definitely my favorite
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: hidden gem on the soundtrack, and Truthfully, the only original
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: song off that soundtrack that I've played.
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: On the show before. Very first episode, Computer Blue was
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: on there. Because it's awesome.
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: But not covered as much as all the other songs.
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: I found many, many versions of pretty much every other.
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: Song on the soundtrack. But not Computer Blue. There were
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: only a handful of songs.
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: We'd already played the Of Montreal version off Purpleish Rain.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: So it's like it was kind of hard to track
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: down another version of Computer Blue.
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: So that was Randy.
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: A Swedish punk rock band from an album called Purple Pain,
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: which is kind of doing something similar.
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: To what we're doing here if everything we were playing
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: was from Swedish rock bands. Yes, the entire soundtrack is
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: done by bands in Sweden. Purple Pain. It was hard
• 30:45
  Speaker 10: to track down, let me tell you.
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: So if you find yourself a copy out there, go
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: ahead and pick it up because they are hard to
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: come by in this country.
• 30:52
  Speaker 13: How do you use a magazine?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I was getting to that.
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: Alright, so now we're at the most infamous track on
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: the album. And more so than all of the hit
• 31:01
  Speaker 9: singles off this soundtrack, this was the song that everybody wanted.
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: To talk to me about.
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: So along the way here, we'll check back in with
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: Sarah and Jackson from the Ladybirds. We'll also check in
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: with Simon, Mark, and Thomas from the band The Wands,
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: who we had on earlier this year. But first up,
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: we're going to kick off this very different version of
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: the song, done by Talisman, with a little intro and
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: a dramatic lyrical reading from Zach and Shane.
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: the band Houndmouth.
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: Does anyone have any thoughts on this album right here
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: Purple Rain it's the 30th anniversary is it really yeah
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: that's kind of scary I think wow can I see that.
• 31:39
  Speaker 27: I think that Purple Rain is just one of the
• 31:42
  Speaker 27: best albums of all time and I don't think of
• 31:44
  Speaker 27: it in a movie sense because I listen to the
• 31:47
  Speaker 27: album all the way through before you know before you
• 31:49
  Speaker 27: see the movie so I just think of it as
• 31:51
  Speaker 27: like a piece of musical art not as something accompanying
• 31:54
  Speaker 27: a video And every song in there is just fire.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: Matt and I used to cover Purple Rain. We were
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: in this little Motown thing for a while, and we
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: used to cover Purple Rain. Is it Darling Nikki that
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: was the one that they couldn't even play on the
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: radio because it was so fucking.
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: It's the racy one.
• 32:12
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I like that. Why don't you quote us some lyrics?
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: From Darling Nikki?
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: Some grinding going on.
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: There's a magazine. You're going to read these two lines.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Her loving will kick your behind. She'll show you no mercy,
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: but she'll show enough, show enough, show you how to grind.
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: Nice.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: Darling Nikki. This is like when it was cool to
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: write Instead of T-O-O, the number two.
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: I think that was just his thing.
• 32:44
  Speaker 16: Was it?
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: I don't know that anybody else could pull that off.
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of numbers, like for a good time.
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: He also uses an I. Die for you. He uses
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: an I.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and the letter U is, yeah. That's why I
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: sound like a jackass reading it just then. I promise
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: I'm not illiterate. It's just tough to read Prince's shorthand.
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: Well, again, if it was anybody else, wouldn't you kind
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: of call him out for that? But it's Prince, so
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: you're like, no, he can do that. Right, yeah, well,
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: he can pretty much do whatever you want.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: A girl named Nikki.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say she was a sex fiend.
• 33:28
  Speaker 16: I met her at a hotel lobby, masturbating with a magazine.
• 33:32
  Speaker 15: She said, how'd you like to wait some time?
• 33:35
  Speaker 13: And I could not resist when.
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: A slow little Nikki cried.
• 33:50
  Speaker 23: She took me to a castle I just couldn't believe
• 33:54
  Speaker 23: my eyes She had so many devices Everything and money
• 34:00
  Speaker 23: combined She said sign the name on the dining line
• 34:04
  Speaker 23: The lights went out Nickel.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you what you did to me. I'm
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: on my.
• 34:21
  Speaker 21: Body, but never be the same.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, Nikki, with a little kick, you're behind.
• 34:26
  Speaker 13: She'll show you.
• 34:28
  Speaker 23: No mercy, but she'll shine up, shine up, shine up. Yeah,
• 34:34
  Speaker 23: she'll show you how to grind.
• 34:46
  Speaker 13: Woke up the next morning, and Nikki wasn't there.
• 34:51
  Speaker 23: I looked all over, and all I found was a
• 34:54
  Speaker 23: phone number on the stairs. It said, thank you for
• 34:58
  Speaker 23: a funky time.
• 35:01
  Speaker 13: Call me up whenever you want to cry.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Nikki!
• 35:18
  Speaker 13: Oh, come back, Nicky, come back.
• 35:22
  Speaker 22: You tiny little grinch want.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: To grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind. That's it,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: that's it, that's it. Hold on, I got to go.
• 36:06
  Speaker 24: I guess we're kind of covering my favorite track, which
• 36:10
  Speaker 24: is Darling Nikki.
• 36:11
  Speaker 21: I was like, let's do the dirtiest one.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: The infamous Darling Nikki.
• 36:16
  Speaker 24: Yes, so that's the one Jackson and I are duetting on.
• 36:18
  Speaker 24: We thought it would be fun for people to see
• 36:21
  Speaker 24: a married couple duet on Darling Nikki.
• 36:24
  Speaker 9: I'm putting together a special. We're coming up on the
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: anniversary of an album. I wanted to see your thoughts
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: on this album right here.
• 36:30
  Speaker 13: Oh, no.
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: Oh, yes. Does anyone have any feelings about this album?
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: I love it.
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: They want to hear the frightening thing. It's the 30th
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: anniversary of this release. It scares the hell out of them.
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: We're trying to put together sort of a retrospective on it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: One of the first records I ever bought, just side note,
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: not specific to that, but one of the first records
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: I ever bought, I was eight years old. Yeah. Had
• 36:54
  Speaker 9: my mom take me to a Tower Records, or I
• 36:58
  Speaker 9: think it was Tower Records, whatever it was, and had
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: her buy me that Prince's Diamonds and Pearls.
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: Nice.
• 37:06
  Speaker 10: Did it have the fancy sticker on the front? You know,
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: I don't remember. That's the one I.
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: I just remember, like, I was eight years old, really
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: into that song, Get Off. That explains how things have
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: worked out, doesn't it?
• 37:21
  Speaker 10: It does explain.
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: And for some reason, my mom was like, absolutely.
• 37:25
  Speaker 13: We can go get that record.
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: That's how we get up.
• 37:29
  Speaker 32: That's how we get up.
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: That was the first time I'd seen that movie. I
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: fucking was laughing my ass off.
• 37:36
  Speaker 32: The last scene where he walks off the stage and
• 37:39
  Speaker 32: everyone's got a single tear in their eye.
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: It's one of those, we re-watched it a couple years ago,
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: and you want to make fun of it the entire time.
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: It's very silly, but then he gets on stage, and
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: you kind of can argue with him.
• 37:51
  Speaker 32: I've never seen Prince before, but I've heard his shows
• 37:54
  Speaker 32: are fucking awesome.
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: I've heard they're mind-blowing.
• 38:00
  Speaker 9: A friend of mine ran into Prince one time and
• 38:03
  Speaker 9: said that he was the tiniest person he's ever met.
• 38:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: Really kind of almost like a.
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: Like an ethereal hobbit.
• 38:14
  Speaker 32: Have you ever watched the, I think it was a
• 38:17
  Speaker 32: tribute to George Harrison?
• 38:18
  Speaker 10: Did you ever see that live show that they did?
• 38:21
  Speaker 32: Prince came out and played guitar on While My Guitar
• 38:25
  Speaker 32: Gently Weeps. At the very end, he throws his guitar up,
• 38:29
  Speaker 32: and the way it's shot, it's like the guitar never
• 38:32
  Speaker 32: comes down.
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: And he just walks off stage, it's like, oh my god,
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: that was amazing. It's badass. Again, everything Prince does is
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: kind of badass.
• 38:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah so i mean you you had to have been
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: i i saw you on stage earlier at some point
• 38:43
  Speaker 9: you're on the ground sort of writhing around you can't.
• 38:46
  Speaker 10: I mean that's my jig there's a little prince in
• 38:47
  Speaker 10: there right i mean.
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: There's some inspiration right absolutely oh no any any specific
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: song you guys liked or uh darling nikki of course
• 39:00
  Speaker 9: see that's what i remember again as as a child
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: more or less and listening to that and I don't.
• 39:05
  Speaker 10: Even know if I fully got it. I don't know
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: if I still figured it out, actually.
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that song was oddly way too sensual for me
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: to really comprehend what was going on. Especially as massively
• 39:19
  Speaker 9: popular as that album got, to have such a weird,
• 39:22
  Speaker 9: erotic song jammed in the middle of it there. The
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: rest are all stuff they're playing on TV and the radio.
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: And then, oh wait, get to this track. Guess what?
• 39:28
  Speaker 32: What what record was that uh little red corvette that
• 39:31
  Speaker 32: was before that actually.
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: That was 1999 yeah i almost want to take prince's
• 39:35
  Speaker 9: hand and just kind of give it a little smack
• 39:37
  Speaker 9: like dirty boy You take Prince's hand, I don't think
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: that's what's going to happen.
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: You might end up with a baby.
• 39:44
  Speaker 11: Or blueberry pancakes.
• 39:46
  Speaker 10: You guys want some pancakes? He does make really good pancakes.
• 39:50
  Speaker 13: I've heard.
• 39:53
  Speaker 9: Yes, as I said, that version was done by Talisman,
• 39:56
  Speaker 9: who were a Swedish hard rock band.
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: Again, we go back to Sweden.
• 40:00
  Speaker 9: Obviously, the Swedish people love Prince, but who doesn't, really?
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: Why don't you just love Prince?
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: More than life itself.
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: So now we're coming up on the biggest hit single
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: of the album. Certainly one of the best known and
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: most recognizable songs on the album, both then and today.
• 40:16
  Speaker 9: Still gets a lot of airplay even today. And we're
• 40:18
  Speaker 9: going to lead into it with Sharon from Art FM,
• 40:21
  Speaker 9: who has a great personal story as her tie-in to
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: the grandiose personal narrative that is When Doves Cry.
• 40:27
  Speaker 10: All right, that's it. Tell them your name.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Sharon Scott.
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: And what is your favorite song from Purple Rain?
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: Is this a trick question?
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: They're all kind of awesome, but, you know, everybody has
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: their weird personal take on it.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: I think on the album, Prince doing the songs, I
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: would go with When Doves Cry. Yeah. You know, I
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: had like a secret knot. It was our passcode to
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: the fort when we were kids. So, you know, kind
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: of nostalgic.
• 41:02
  Speaker 9: That's a good tie-in there. And still holds up 30
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: years later.
• 41:06
  Speaker 10: It's pretty impressive.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is pretty impressive. So I think we all
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it then, enjoy it now.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: I gave.
• 41:13
  Speaker 28: You a picture of you.
• 41:25
  Speaker 13: And I engaged in a kiss. Sweat of your body
• 41:37
  Speaker 13: covers me.
• 41:39
  Speaker 31: Can you, my darling, can you picture this?
• 41:44
  Speaker 13: Dream, if you can, a courtyard.
• 41:47
  Speaker 31: Oceans and violets and bloom.
• 41:52
  Speaker 13: Animals strike curious poses. They feel the heat, the heat
• 41:58
  Speaker 13: between me and you. Touch, if you will, my stomach.
• 42:04
  Speaker 31: Feel how it trembles inside You've got the butterflies all tied.
• 42:12
  Speaker 13: Up Don't make me chase you Cause even those half-pride
• 42:17
  Speaker 13: Can you just leave me.
• 42:18
  Speaker 31: Standing Alone in a world that's so cold Maybe I'm
• 42:26
  Speaker 31: just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold.
• 42:33
  Speaker 13: Maybe I'm just like my mother.
• 42:37
  Speaker 31: She's never satisfied, never satisfied.
• 42:43
  Speaker 13: With each other.
• 42:46
  Speaker 31: This is what it sounds like when the dogs cry.
• 42:54
  Speaker 13: Don't cry.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Don't cry.
• 42:58
  Speaker 13: Don't cry.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.
• 43:02
  Speaker 13: Don't cry. I ain't joking, woman. I've got your ramble.
• 43:37
  Speaker 30: I'll leave you when the summer comes.
• 43:46
  Speaker 13: Leave you when the summer comes along.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: .
• 44:21
  Speaker 12: .
• 44:24
  Speaker 13: So dig if you will this picture of you and
• 44:36
  Speaker 13: I engaged in a kiss.
• 44:53
  Speaker 9: Now that song is one, when I first came up
• 44:54
  Speaker 9: with this concept, I knew I wanted to work that
• 44:57
  Speaker 9: version in there. If you remember back to Volume 1,
• 45:00
  Speaker 9: Jacqueline mentioned that, when doing a cover song, you don't
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: want to do it just like the original artist. Ideally,
• 45:06
  Speaker 9: you want to take what's good about the original, and
• 45:08
  Speaker 9: weave it in there with what you do best as
• 45:10
  Speaker 9: a performer. And possibly no song hits that balance as
• 45:14
  Speaker 9: well as that.
• 45:15
  Speaker 10: Version of When Doves Cry by Damien Rice.
• 45:18
  Speaker 27: Purple Rain reminds me of another soundtrack that's also a favorite.
• 45:23
  Speaker 27: I've got to say the Romeo and Juliet, the Baz
• 45:26
  Speaker 27: Luhrmann one, because they have that kid Quentin Tarver who
• 45:29
  Speaker 27: comes in and does When Doves Cry with the really gospel,
• 45:34
  Speaker 27: churchy version.
• 45:35
  Speaker 10: It's just fantastic.
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: And yes, I want to acknowledge the Quentin Tarver version
• 45:39
  Speaker 9: on the Romeo plus Juliet soundtrack.
• 45:41
  Speaker 10: It is great as well.
• 45:43
  Speaker 9: In fact, I specifically didn't work it in because I've
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: already played that one. Once again, back on the very
• 45:49
  Speaker 9: first episode of Attack of the Killer soundtrack, I worked
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: that one in there. So go check that one out there,
• 45:54
  Speaker 9: along with a bunch.
• 45:55
  Speaker 10: Of other great songs from that very first episode.
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: Want some music for your ears? Doo-Wop Shop makes it
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: easy to rent for any event, business meeting, or special occasion.
• 46:06
  Speaker 7: From PA systems to karaoke machines to just about anything
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: that makes noise, you can rent it from the Doo-Wop Shop.
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: In Louisville, find them either at their Highland store at
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: 1587 Bardstown Road or in the East End at 2915
• 46:18
  Speaker 7: South Hurstburn Parkway. And look for them online at DooWopShop.com.
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: Doo-Wop Shop. We're serious about music.
• 46:27
  Speaker 27: We was hitchhiking down a long and lonesome road.
• 46:34
  Speaker 10: All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon in
• 46:40
  Speaker 10: the middle of the.
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: Road and he said hey this is KG of Tenacious
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: D and you're listening to Movie Meltdown with Brian oh.
• 46:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah Now in the shadow of that last track, it
• 47:03
  Speaker 9: would be hard for someone to do something similar, but
• 47:06
  Speaker 9: equally different and impressive.
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: And yet I give you Kush. I don't know much
• 47:12
  Speaker 10: about the band.
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: In fact, there are several different bands out there with
• 47:15
  Speaker 9: that or a similar version of that name. So I'm
• 47:18
  Speaker 9: not going to claim anything more than in digging around
• 47:20
  Speaker 9: through a lot of other covers out there. And believe me,
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: there are several different dance club mix kind of versions
• 47:27
  Speaker 9: out there like this one going on behind me right now.
• 47:30
  Speaker 9: But none of those really stood out. And then I
• 47:33
  Speaker 9: came across this version from a band listed as Kush.
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: That's all I know, but that's all I need to know.
• 47:40
  Speaker 9: It's a different take on the original, but it's pretty great.
• 47:43
  Speaker 10: And here's our friend Carly with an intro. Is that
• 47:46
  Speaker 10: your favorite track on the album, Purple Rain?
• 47:48
  Speaker 13: No, actually.
• 47:51
  Speaker 33: Let's see.
• 47:52
  Speaker 29: I'm kind of a big fan of I Would Die
• 47:55
  Speaker 29: For You. I'm pretty into that.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: I'm not a woman, I'm not a man I'm something
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: that you never understand Never beat you, I'll never lie
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: And if you leave her I'll forgive you by and
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: by Yeah, you, I would die for you Darling, if.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: You want me to Yeah, you, I would die for
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: you Not your lover, not your.
• 48:49
  Speaker 17: Friend I'm something that you'll never comprehend.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: No need to worry, no need to.
• 48:57
  Speaker 17: Cry I'm your Messiah and you're the reason why Yeah, you,
• 49:04
  Speaker 17: I would die.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: For you Darling, if.
• 49:08
  Speaker 17: You want me to Yeah, you, I would die for.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: You Thank you. fire when you are cold.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: I make you happy when you are sad. I make
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: you good when you are bad. I'm not a human,
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: I'm a dove. I'm your conscience, I'm love.
• 49:56
  Speaker 17: All, all, all I really need is to know that
• 49:59
  Speaker 17: you love me. I would die for you Darling if
• 50:08
  Speaker 17: you want me to, yeah you I would die for
• 50:15
  Speaker 17: you Darling, if you want.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Me to Yeah, you.
• 50:20
  Speaker 17: I would die for you Oh, darling, if you want
• 50:25
  Speaker 17: me to Baby, you.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: I would die for.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: You Yeah, you I.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Would die for you.
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: If you want me to, darling, you.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: I would die for.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: You Yeah, you I would die for you Darling, if
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: you want me to, baby, you.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I would die for you.
• 51:09
  Speaker 9: Alright, so we're here with the organizer of this Purple
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: Rain themed event.
• 51:14
  Speaker 10: Where did you get this specific idea?
• 51:17
  Speaker 25: Well, I've been a fan of Prince for literally 30 years.
• 51:23
  Speaker 25: And it is the 30 year anniversary of the film.
• 51:25
  Speaker 25: I recall seeing it in middle school, and it really
• 51:29
  Speaker 25: pretty much blew my suburban mind. And I've loved Prince
• 51:33
  Speaker 25: ever since. I'm a DJ for Art FM, and I've
• 51:37
  Speaker 25: been doing that for about a year. And I saw
• 51:39
  Speaker 25: it as a really great way to benefit Art FM
• 51:42
  Speaker 25: as a fundraiser. So I approached Tim Barnes, who is
• 51:45
  Speaker 25: the program director of Art FM, as well as the
• 51:48
  Speaker 25: owner of Dreamland, and asked him if we could show
• 51:50
  Speaker 25: the film here. And it evolved from there.
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: Very cool.
• 51:54
  Speaker 10: And what is your song of choice off this monumental soundtrack?
• 51:57
  Speaker 10: What's your favorite?
• 51:59
  Speaker 25: I would have to say I Would Die For You.
• 52:02
  Speaker 25: I'm torn between that and Baby I'm A Star. But
• 52:04
  Speaker 25: then again, Purple Rain is pretty great too.
• 52:07
  Speaker 9: And yes, that was in fact the host of the
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: live event, Allison, throwing around a little Prince love.
• 52:12
  Speaker 10: Now that's a weird phrase.
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: Anyway, in Volume 1, you heard me say that Mariah
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: is arguably the biggest or at least the most mainstream
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: artist to have covered a Prince song from Purple Rain.
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: But I'd say our next entry outranks her, at least
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: in the annals of rock and roll. And to get
• 52:28
  Speaker 9: us into it, we have Rick with another personal backstory
• 52:30
  Speaker 9: of the album, the movie, and the next song.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: Hey Brian, it's Rick.
• 52:52
  Speaker 20: The good times had by all.
• 52:54
  Speaker 10: Definitely. What was your favorite track on the album? Oh,
• 52:58
  Speaker 10: Baby I'm a Star.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 53:01
  Speaker 10: Do you have.
• 53:01
  Speaker 20: I don't know it now, but.
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: Do you have specific fond memories of that song?
• 53:06
  Speaker 20: Well, the whole album in general. I can remember, you know,
• 53:10
  Speaker 20: Showcase Cinemas, when it first premiered, my friend Renee and I,
• 53:16
  Speaker 20: no longer with us, bless her heart, but snuck in
• 53:19
  Speaker 20: a 12-pack, sat there, watched the whole movie, and We
• 53:22
  Speaker 20: had to be strategic about popping a top of opening
• 53:26
  Speaker 20: the beer. It wasn't allowed, but great show, great time.
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 53:32
  Speaker 10: Luckily, there's a lot of loud music and songs. You
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: can cover up the opening.
• 54:18
  Speaker 13: Hey, look me over.
• 54:22
  Speaker 21: Tell me, do you like what you see?
• 54:24
  Speaker 13: Hey, I ain't got no money. Honey, I'm rich with personality.
• 54:31
  Speaker 30: Hey, hey.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: Check it all out Check it all out Baby, I know.
• 54:38
  Speaker 17: What it's all about Before the night is through You
• 54:42
  Speaker 17: will see my point of view Even if I have
• 54:46
  Speaker 17: to scream.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: And shout Baby, I'm a star.
• 54:51
  Speaker 17: You might not know it now But baby, you'll find
• 54:55
  Speaker 17: out I'm a star And I wanna stop Until I reach.
• 55:02
  Speaker 16: The top Sing it!
• 55:03
  Speaker 13: We are Hey, take a listen.
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: Tell me, do you like what you did?
• 55:12
  Speaker 17: If it don't turn you on, just say the word
• 55:16
  Speaker 17: and I'm gone.
• 55:17
  Speaker 10: Honey, I know there ain't nothing wrong with your ears.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: Hey, check it out.
• 55:25
  Speaker 21: Better look now, I guess it might be too late.
• 55:28
  Speaker 13: My look's gonna change tonight.
• 55:30
  Speaker 21: There's gotta be a better life.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: Take a picture, honey. I ain't.
• 55:39
  Speaker 6: You might not.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: Know it now, but baby, you'll find out I'm a star.
• 55:45
  Speaker 10: Oh, I don't want to.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: Stop till I reach the top.
• 55:55
  Speaker 13: We are the stars.
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: Everybody say, nothing comes too easy.
• 55:58
  Speaker 21: When you got it, baby, nothing comes too hard.
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: You see what I'm all about?
• 56:02
  Speaker 32: I got a dream and a shot.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
• 56:16
  Speaker 29: Oh, you might not know it now.
• 56:18
  Speaker 10: Maybe you'll find out.
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: Maybe you'll find.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: Out I'm a star. I don't want to stop.
• 57:13
  Speaker 13: You don't need to stop.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh. You got it?
• 57:14
  Speaker 30: Is that it?
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: We're going to wind it up? Hey, baby. Oh, honey.
• 57:21
  Speaker 16: Oh, oh.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: Star. Star.
• 57:27
  Speaker 9: Yes, that was in fact Tina Turner covering Baby I'm
• 57:30
  Speaker 9: a Star. Again, there's a pretty straightforward message in those lyrics,
• 57:33
  Speaker 9: and an icon like Tina certainly knows how to own
• 57:36
  Speaker 9: up to that.
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: What a.
• 57:41
  Speaker 11: Weird record.
• 57:42
  Speaker 9: It's a lot of different stages. Again, I think that
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: was kind of showcasing him at that point of how
• 57:49
  Speaker 9: that wide array of stuff that he actually can do,
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: that you have these guitar solos that kind of put
• 57:55
  Speaker 9: metal guys to shame. And then like later he's doing
• 57:58
  Speaker 9: a cheesy duet moment. And then later he's doing stuff
• 58:01
  Speaker 9: that's just total funk. And so he's just got such
• 58:05
  Speaker 9: a wide.
• 58:06
  Speaker 24: He's a renaissance man. He's not a one trick pony.
• 58:09
  Speaker 24: And then that really, I feel like that carries over
• 58:12
  Speaker 24: into his whole persona. You know, you think you've got
• 58:14
  Speaker 24: them all summed up with being like effeminate and squealing
• 58:18
  Speaker 24: and looking great and looking better in skinny jeans than
• 58:21
  Speaker 24: any lady does. You know, but then he's, like, riding
• 58:23
  Speaker 24: on his motorcycle and getting, like, passionately angry. And, you know,
• 58:27
  Speaker 24: he's just, he's a really, he's a complex character, Brian.
• 58:31
  Speaker 24: He's a complex man.
• 58:33
  Speaker 10: That's what those hissy fits mean.
• 58:34
  Speaker 21: That's what the, yeah.
• 58:36
  Speaker 13: No, they're manly.
• 58:37
  Speaker 21: They're not hissy fits.
• 58:37
  Speaker 10: A few of them are kind of hissy fits.
• 58:40
  Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah.
• 58:41
  Speaker 13: B-I-T-C-H.
• 58:43
  Speaker 26: Brian, I wish that you could see, I wish that
• 58:45
  Speaker 26: you could tell the folks how awesome it looks inside
• 58:49
  Speaker 26: here right now.
• 58:49
  Speaker 11: Show the listeners.
• 58:50
  Speaker 30: Yeah.
• 58:51
  Speaker 11: It's very, very fucking cool.
• 58:53
  Speaker 13: Oh, shit.
• 58:54
  Speaker 21: No, he said it's all good. F-word's good.
• 58:55
  Speaker 24: Yeah, the decoration inside is amazing. There are Prince posters.
• 58:59
  Speaker 24: He is looking very sexy in his man thong.
• 59:04
  Speaker 26: I'm not sure if you guys know, which record did
• 59:08
  Speaker 26: that come in, that famous one?
• 59:09
  Speaker 11: Where he's in the shower like this in his man panties?
• 59:13
  Speaker 10: That one's really old. I think that was even pre-' 99,
• 59:15
  Speaker 10: wasn't it?
• 59:18
  Speaker 27: Maybe.
• 59:18
  Speaker 10: It's like, what is that one, the one right before that?
• 59:21
  Speaker 10: I think Controversy, wasn't it?
• 59:22
  Speaker 11: Controversy.
• 59:24
  Speaker 7: Sweet.
• 59:24
  Speaker 9: Cause that was the first one that feels like he
• 59:26
  Speaker 9: got like a pretty decent budget too.
• 59:28
  Speaker 10: Like you can see like at that point he started
• 59:30
  Speaker 10: with it.
• 59:30
  Speaker 9: Cause those early ones he's like probably in his house doing,
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: I mean, he plays every instrument on those early albums
• 59:36
  Speaker 9: and like he's recording it himself.
• 59:37
  Speaker 10: He's editing. So it's like, it feels like controversy is.
• 59:40
  Speaker 9: The first one where it feels like he probably got
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: a real studio and they threw a little money at him.
• 59:44
  Speaker 10: So they probably paid for that really weird photo session.
• 59:47
  Speaker 9: Can you only imagine the photo session that was, And they're.
• 59:50
  Speaker 11: Like, are you ready?
• 59:51
  Speaker 10: Are you sure?
• 59:52
  Speaker 21: Are you ready?
• 59:54
  Speaker 10: Do I have to take? All right, fine. This better
• 59:58
  Speaker 10: be cash. I'm not taking a check from you, buddy.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 26: Well, my point is that's like on the wall right
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 26: when you walk into the door here.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 9: See, but next to it is the Purple Rain, like
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: the poster. It's not like it's the fancy one sheet.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: It's like the one that you bought at Spencer's Gifts
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 9: that I probably bought at Spencer's Gifts.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 32: Oh, yeah.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 10: It's him with that bologna on the motorcycle. Yeah, it's
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 10: pretty awesome.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 21: It's quintessential.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 11: It's pretty awesome.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 9: You need it to be a 12-year-old in 1985.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 10: I just think.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 26: It's just super interesting. The record, sonically, is just so
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 26: weird and cool. I was around in 1984, but definitely wasn't... picking.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 11: Apart the tracks of Purple Rain yet.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 10: You've spent every day since then doing it.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 26: It's just so weird and cool. I imagine people didn't
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 26: know what you know. I imagine it really blowing minds
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 26: when it came out.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Dude, I serve a society by rocking, okay?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 11: I'm out there on the front lines liberating people with
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 11: my music.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: Yes, that was a little more Prince Talk with Sarah
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 9: and Jackson. A big thank you to them. They were
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 9: a lot of fun to hang out with that night.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 10: Okay, so we're.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 9: Closing in on the end of the album here. But first,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: I wanted to head back to our segment with Carly.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 9: She actually performed her own version of the closing track,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 9: and I talked to her just a few minutes afterward.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 9: So I wanted to get her take on performing such
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 9: a milestone in music history.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 10: What was your name? Carly Johnson. And you just did
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 10: Purple Rain.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 9: I guess the real question is, 30 years later, how is.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 10: It that it's still that powerful a song?
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 13: Man, I don't know.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 29: I think you're going to have to ask Prince that question.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 29: That guy is serious with his same chords over and
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 29: over again, but still epic, epic song. I was a
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 29: little nervous about doing it with just a guitar player
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 29: and not having the full gospel singers in the background
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 29: and the drums and bass and whatnot.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 13: So.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 29: I was pretty intimidated myself, but it was an honor
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 29: to do it.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 9: Prince is an intimidating guy. He's way too talented for
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 9: any human being.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 29: Absolutely, and if you've seen him on Arsenio lately, which
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 29: is the last few days, that will also confirm exactly
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 29: what you just said.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 9: And he might not be a human being because he
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: refuses to age 30 years later.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 10: That's very true.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 29: I firmly believe he is a musical alien.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 10: May very well be, actually.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 21: I completely agree with that.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 9: I've kind of been asking everybody what their first exposure
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 9: to Prince was, what your first Prince memory was.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 21: That's a tough one.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 29: Honestly, I would have to say, so I'm turning 30 in.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 10: A couple weeks. Also your Pearl anniversary.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 29: So it is also my Purple Rain anniversary. So obviously
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 29: I didn't see it when it came out. I was
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 29: a twinkle in someone's eye or I just popped out.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 29: But honestly, I think my biggest memory of Prince is
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 29: at some point when I was much younger. hearing about
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 29: the controversy about him switching his name to a symbol.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 29: And then I kind of delved a little deeper to
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 29: find out who the hell they were talking about. And
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 29: then I was like, oh, well, he could kind of
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 29: get away with that.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 10: He's an artist.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 21: Yes, he is.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 11: Formerly known as.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 10: However, he came to his senses.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 13: I never meant to cause you any sorrow. I never
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 13: meant to cause you any pain.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 10: Alright, this is it.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 9: We're going to round things out here, just like the
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 9: soundtrack does, with THE Monster Ballad. And as I mentioned
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 9: along the way, there were a few artists and covers
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 9: that I thought of right off the bat that I
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 9: knew I wanted to include. But this is the one
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 9: that goes back the furthest. Years ago, I ran across
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 9: a live version of Purple Rain done by Martin Sexton.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 9: Now I think I was already familiar with him, probably
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 9: from his song and album Black Sheep, but I really
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 9: remember taking to his cover of the Imposing Prince song.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: I even added it to a mix CD I was
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 9: making at the time, and I drove around listening to
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 9: that thing for years. It really stuck with me. And
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 9: even though I specifically went out of my way on
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 9: all the other songs I've chosen to dig up studio
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 9: versions of the songs. I mean, tons of people out
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 9: there have probably thrown a Prince cover in their lineup
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 9: at some point. I was trying to track down people
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 9: who were serious enough to go out of their way
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 9: to record their versions in a studio. But when it
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 9: came time to round out this year-long, two-volume journey... I
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 9: thought Martin was the way to do it. And technically,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 9: it is from one of his official releases, just a
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 9: live release. It's from his 2008 album, Solo, we get
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 9: a live version that's slightly different than the one I
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 9: heard years back, but equally as impressive. And actually, it's
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 9: sort of fitting that this song is the one track
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 9: with a live audience. I think this song, more than
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 9: any on the soundtrack, allows the performer to connect with
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 9: the audience. Go to any live show and do a
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: decent version of the song, and I bet everybody in
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 9: the room will react. Some of them may start off
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 9: rolling their eyes, but I bet before the song is over,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 9: they'll be fighting the urge to sing along. It's an anthem,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 9: not just for that generation in 1984, but for everyone
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 9: who's discovered that soundtrack since then. It continues to be
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 9: just that, an anthem, even 30 years later. So thank
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 9: you to all of you for coming along with me
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 9: on this musical odyssey through the last three decades, and
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 9: thank you to everyone who talked with me over the
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 9: last year. I was glad to get a chance to
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 9: share in your memories and have you be part of
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 9: these episodes.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 10: It's been a lot of.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 9: Fun, and I look forward to putting together more interesting
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 9: conglomerations of music in the coming year. So with that,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 9: I will remind you, Get a Life will provide an
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 9: epic soundtrack.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 30: I never meant to cause you any sorrow Never gonna
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 30: cause you any pain Only wanna one time see you
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 30: laughing Only wanna see you laughing in.

  Speaker 33: Kind of friend Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 30: The woman I could never steal you from another It's
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 30: such a shame that our friendship had to end Purple rain,

  Speaker 1: Purple rain, purple.
• 1:07:20

  Speaker 17: And I know it's time we all reach out for
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 17: something new, and.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: That'd be you too.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 10: You say you want.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 13: A leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 30: Maybe we ought to close it.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: And let us guide you.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 30: Through the purple rain, purple rain, purple.
• 1:08:16

  Speaker 3: Guitar solo Thank you. Thank you.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 30: I never meant to cause you any sorrow. I never
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 30: meant to cause you any pain.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: All I ever wanted was to see you laughing in
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: the pouring rain. In the pouring rain. It's pouring rain
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: and I'm tired. It's cold and rain outside, but I
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: don't mind. All I ever wanted was to see you.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: All I ever wanted was to see you. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

  Speaker 1: Thank you, brothers and sisters.

  Speaker 6: From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 10: Peace and love be with us all. Thank you.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 21: Wow, impressive. Prince would be proud.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 10: Prince would be proud, I think.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: Don't think anyone expected that dramatic of an end to
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 10: So it was fantastic.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: And plus, tonight the purple rain. The sky was kind
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: of purple and this crazy storm, lightning going everywhere.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 18: I feel like it was on, I don't remember if
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 18: I saw it in the theater or if I saw it.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 9: I think mine was cable and it felt really strange. Yeah,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 9: it's such a weird.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 6: I believe it was Little Red Corvette.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 21: It's pretty sexy.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 24: You know, most movies, most feature length motion pictures you're
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 24: going to see are like so, are often really like Hollywoodized,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 24: you know, so it's like this band that, you know,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 24: it's like these actors pretending to play guitars, you know,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 24: maybe like it's just like a little more canned, you know.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 10: Wait, Zac Efron can't play guitar?
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 21: Wait, ouch, vision shattered.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 24: Actually, we don't know.
• 1:12:35
