[00:00:00] Speaker A: It is now disclaimer time.
[00:00:02] Speaker B: We are here to share Prince's works with the utmost authenticity, clarity, and precision. This means there may be situations where the material being discussed may be sensitive or offensive to some. However, we have chosen to discuss his work as it was initially produced. We will not alter any of his original work to suit anyone's comfort, including our own. This podcast is to celebrate Prince and his works.
[00:00:29] Speaker C: Thank you for your support and understanding.
[00:00:31] Speaker B: Now, on to the show.
[00:00:36] Speaker D: Hello. Welcome to Alphabet Suite podcast for the Prince songbook. There are hundreds of songs to choose from. You have chosen.
[00:00:43] Speaker E: He's a little possessive, don't you think? Welcome back, folks. It is time for another episode of the Alphabet Suite podcast. Cast, cast, cast, cast.
[00:00:59] Speaker C: Cast, cast, cast.
[00:01:02] Speaker A: You should have went in with that. Deeper.
[00:01:06] Speaker E: Went in deeper.
[00:01:07] Speaker F: Yeah. Why?
[00:01:08] Speaker C: I'll just pitch.
[00:01:09] Speaker F: Shift it.
[00:01:10] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:01:11] Speaker E: Podcast.
He'll do it better than I will.
[00:01:20] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:01:21] Speaker A: Is that weird? He'll do it.
[00:01:24] Speaker F: All right.
[00:01:25] Speaker E: I'm your host, Pat.
[00:01:26] Speaker A: I am your co host, Tim Ulti.
[00:01:30] Speaker C: And I'm producer.
[00:01:31] Speaker E: Rock on.
So in this episode, we're going to talk about something that we haven't talked about before. It's kind of a weird thing, and we're kind of debating on if we're even going to do these things or not.
[00:01:44] Speaker A: Wait, bro, say kind of a weird thing.
[00:01:48] Speaker E: It is a weird thing. It's weird. So Prince, as everyone knows, did a few movies in his time.
He did purple rain. He did under the cherry moon.
[00:02:04] Speaker A: Love that movie.
[00:02:05] Speaker E: He did graffiti bridge.
And to make this as complete as possible, in these movies, Prince would play songs that were just like either a snippet or a slightly reimagined version of other songs that he had wrote throughout the movies.
So we were like, do we don't. We decided, let's do it complete.
If it shows up on a list somewhere, we're going to talk about it.
[00:02:58] Speaker A: And right there, that little conversation was longer than the song.
[00:03:05] Speaker E: So today's episode is about a song that really, we're assuming this is the title just because of the way it was in the show, called a little possessive.
And what this is is also known.
[00:03:25] Speaker A: As nine to five.
[00:03:32] Speaker E: The heck does that even mean?
[00:03:39] Speaker F: Yeah, go with that.
[00:03:43] Speaker A: I had Dolly Parton going through my head with purple rain for whatever reason, then nine to five popped in.
[00:03:49] Speaker E: So we'll just leave that one right there for you guys to deal with, because I'm not dealing with that one.
[00:03:54] Speaker A: You ain't getting on this train.
[00:03:56] Speaker E: I'm not getting on that, dude.
I don't even know if that's a train. That's like one of them old minor carts where you're just pumping away to go down the track.
So this one is called a little possessive. And under the cherry moon, there is a scene where Prince is sitting at a piano playing this. Again, just this little off thing of, do you lie?
It's not a snippet. It's actually a different way of the song.
So, technically, even though it's just like a cue from the movie and it's only, like 45 seconds long, it is a prince composition.
It may not even be called a little possessive, but that's what it's called in the list that we looked at, because at the end of playing it, he says a little possessive.
So I don't know just what to say about this other. I mean, it's just. He just said it to say he's sitting at the piano playing it, and it's comical. It is funny. But here's the thing. Under the cherry moon takes a bad rap.
[00:05:19] Speaker A: I love that movie, man.
[00:05:20] Speaker E: I think it's for him writing and directing and doing it.
[00:05:24] Speaker A: You just dimmed.
[00:05:25] Speaker E: I just dimmed. Well, we don't really need this much anymore because I am kind of dim with it because there's not really much there because it's not a real song.
So there really isn't much notes on it other than it was from the movie.
And he's talking with Mrs. Wellington and playing it. But back to what we're thought, I enjoyed it. Was comical and entertaining. Was under the cherry moon some great work of art? No, but for what it was, it was cute. It was a really cool show. I thought it was kind of cool that he shot it in black and white.
So that was kind of cool.
But I think it takes a bad rap, especially, like, prince's death scene. That was horrible, but in such a good way.
It feels like it, but yet it doesn't. It's got big name actors in it. I mean, he went all out with this show.
[00:06:35] Speaker A: I liked it a lot.
[00:06:36] Speaker E: Yeah, but it was bombed. Even Prince fans are like, I don't like that. It was stupid. I actually kind of liked it. I mean, it had a lot of funny things in anyway. Yeah, it's Prince sitting at a piano playing. Do you lie? Just kind of in a melodic way.
[00:06:57] Speaker A: I hope they got a box for that.
[00:07:01] Speaker E: Under the tray moon. So that's going to be difficult.
[00:07:05] Speaker A: Why?
[00:07:06] Speaker E: Because when Prince got the rights back to all his music from Warner Brothers, he did not get the rights back to the soundtrack shoot.
So any soundtrack, which would be.
[00:07:23] Speaker A: Purple.
[00:07:23] Speaker E: Rain, which is why they have to team up with Warner Brothers to release this under the Cherry Moon Graffiti bridge, which was an amazing soundtrack.
[00:07:36] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:07:36] Speaker E: I took their Batman.
That was just time frame. Yeah, but Batman. So there's four of his biggest albums.
That was an amazing album.
[00:08:01] Speaker F: Yes.
[00:08:03] Speaker A: I think Lemon Crush is probably my.
[00:08:05] Speaker E: Favorite off that album.
No, but music, you're not associating it with the movie.
[00:08:17] Speaker C: Right. But the people that aren't aware that.
[00:08:20] Speaker E: He did the Batman soundtrack.
[00:08:21] Speaker C: Did the Batman soundtrack.
[00:08:24] Speaker E: Isn't that the Michael Keaton, that was the very first Batman movie?
[00:08:28] Speaker A: Yeah, he was a badass Batman.
[00:08:33] Speaker E: Yes.
Was it mid 90s? Yeah, it'd have to be around 90.
Well, no, actually I think it's early 90s because Batman came out.
Didn't that come out right after love. Sexy. So that would have been 89.
I think it was 89, 80.
[00:09:07] Speaker C: Batman.
[00:09:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:10] Speaker C: Do you realize how many people went?
[00:09:14] Speaker E: So I realized that at work because I was talking to one of my coworkers who is a young kid, late 20s, early thirty s, and we got to talking about Batman.
And that was weird. He came unplugged.
[00:09:32] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:09:32] Speaker C: Cable just unplugged.
[00:09:33] Speaker E: Technical difficulties.
[00:09:34] Speaker C: I hope that didn't make an awful noise.
[00:09:36] Speaker E: And he's, you know, because I was thinking, ok, he's going to know Christian Bale. That generation's Batman is Christian Bale. And he's like, no, I remember Batman. Val Kilmer, that's my Batman.
[00:09:51] Speaker C: Val Kilmer, dude, that is the most badass Batmobile ever.
[00:09:55] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:09:55] Speaker E: But Val Kilmer was not a good Batman.
[00:09:59] Speaker C: I'm not saying he was good.
[00:10:02] Speaker E: Him and George Clooney were just to me, were horrible as Batman.
[00:10:05] Speaker C: Wasn't Val Kilmer the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger as the ice. Yeah, yeah, that's the Batman of my childhood.
[00:10:13] Speaker E: Well, that's what he remembered was George Clooney.
[00:10:17] Speaker A: I am so sorry.
[00:10:18] Speaker E: And I like Michael Keaton, dude. He's like, yeah, I heard about.
[00:10:26] Speaker C: Wasn'T it?
[00:10:27] Speaker E: And then I went to the Christian Bale and what Batman's, I mean, Christian Bale.
[00:10:31] Speaker C: Batman was good, too. But what was the one with, who did the riddler?
[00:10:39] Speaker E: Jim Carrey.
[00:10:40] Speaker C: Yeah, the one. That's Val Kilmer, too.
[00:10:47] Speaker E: Yeah, that was Val Kilmer.
[00:10:49] Speaker C: Is that the one with, isn't poison ivy in that too then?
[00:10:54] Speaker E: I don't know.
So George Clooney had to be Mr. Freeze then?
[00:10:59] Speaker C: No, the one I'm thinking of was Arnold Schwarzenegger.
[00:11:03] Speaker E: Right. That would have been the George Clooney Batman.
[00:11:05] Speaker C: Was it George Clooney Batman? Yeah, because I remember that. And then the Carrie Riddler.
[00:11:13] Speaker E: That was the Val Kilmer Batman.
[00:11:14] Speaker C: Those are my batmans growing up.
[00:11:16] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:11:17] Speaker C: Those were so stupid.
[00:11:19] Speaker E: It was great. Yeah, it was awful. Michael Keaton's was not stupid.
[00:11:23] Speaker C: No, it was a little more so. I mean, it wasn't the Dark knight.
[00:11:28] Speaker E: But I don't know, the first one was kind of dark, but it's not the Dark knight.
[00:11:32] Speaker C: He was straight up murdering people.
[00:11:35] Speaker A: Ben Affleck.
[00:11:37] Speaker C: You like Batfleck?
[00:11:39] Speaker A: I think he was superb.
[00:11:41] Speaker E: Yeah, I thought he was.
[00:11:41] Speaker C: What do you think of Robert Battinson?
[00:11:44] Speaker E: Cannot stand that one.
[00:11:45] Speaker C: That was the newest one where they.
[00:11:46] Speaker E: Went like, show just was another one.
[00:11:50] Speaker C: Where the Batmobile was badass.
[00:11:52] Speaker E: Yeah, that whole movie was just.
[00:11:54] Speaker C: I haven't seen them. I've not seen Batman since Dark Knight. Like the Dark Knight trilogy.
[00:11:59] Speaker F: What is this.
[00:12:06] Speaker E: Keanu Reeves and DC's League of Super Pets?
[00:12:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:12:12] Speaker A: You heard, huh? Really?
[00:12:15] Speaker C: I like Keanu Reeves. So what were we talking about?
[00:12:22] Speaker E: Well, because we got to talking about the movie soundtracks because they won't redo.
[00:12:26] Speaker C: There's no way they will redo that album.
[00:12:28] Speaker F: I don't know.
[00:12:28] Speaker E: That was a big selling album.
[00:12:30] Speaker C: It might have been, but to have Warner Brothers be like, yeah, we made Batman this what it is now, which is kind of.
[00:12:39] Speaker E: But you don't have to follow it to the movie. I'm not saying you have to play.
[00:12:42] Speaker C: It to the movie, but they're going to be like, this is a remastered rerelease of Batman album. And then you're going to have all these people go out and check it out and be like, what the hell kind of Batman listens to this?
I don't think it would sell well with the current generation of Bat fans.
[00:13:01] Speaker E: Which is fine because it's going to be the prince fans that are going to buy it.
[00:13:06] Speaker C: Maybe.
[00:13:11] Speaker E: I don't know what you would.
[00:13:12] Speaker C: That dance is pretty rad, though.
[00:13:13] Speaker E: I don't know what you would do with the Batman soundtrack.
And here's the problem.
They own the rights to the soundtracks.
[00:13:24] Speaker C: Warner brothers.
[00:13:25] Speaker B: Correct.
[00:13:27] Speaker E: They do not own the rights to any extras that would go with it.
That's why they have to collaborate with the prince of state, because they still.
[00:13:37] Speaker C: Have, like, all the vault stuff.
[00:13:39] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:13:40] Speaker C: You think there's Batman vault stuff?
[00:13:42] Speaker E: Oh, I'm sure there is.
There's vault stuff for everything. He did.
[00:13:50] Speaker C: Wonder how many people covered bat dance.
[00:13:52] Speaker E: Probably nobody.
[00:13:54] Speaker C: Dude, that song's great.
[00:13:57] Speaker A: It's a good question.
[00:13:59] Speaker E: We'll find out when we get to season three.
All right.
[00:14:04] Speaker C: This one's kind of dragging.
[00:14:05] Speaker E: This one? Yeah. Little possessive.
[00:14:08] Speaker A: That should have been over with.
[00:14:09] Speaker E: That sounds like Warner Brothers and Prince. They're all just a little possessive. So what time is it?
It's snack time again.
[00:14:21] Speaker C: So you see how I made, like a white lines reference?
[00:14:25] Speaker E: White line.
So after our last fiasco.
[00:14:33] Speaker C: Wrong artist. I know, I'm sorry.
[00:14:34] Speaker E: In fact, our last two snack times, both of them not that good. We're not starting out well here.
We're hoping to come back from this a little better.
So we have got.
[00:14:52] Speaker C: Please don't tell me that says hot honey.
[00:14:54] Speaker E: Hot honey Pringles.
[00:15:00] Speaker C: Hot honey is good on chicken.
[00:15:05] Speaker E: Timmy T found these.
[00:15:07] Speaker C: I was afraid because I saw the little chili, the little chili on there and it was yellow.
[00:15:13] Speaker E: Did you really get hot mustard Pringles?
It's bursting with flavor.
[00:15:18] Speaker A: Yes, it is.
[00:15:19] Speaker C: Yeah, that's their new tagline, dude. Their new harvest blends.
[00:15:24] Speaker F: Whatever.
[00:15:24] Speaker E: So all of those are so good, are they?
[00:15:27] Speaker C: Yes, 100% recommend. Get the harvest blend Pringles.
[00:15:31] Speaker E: So we are going to try hot honey Pringles.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: At the stores I shop at. It's very hard to find limited. Anything for chips now.
[00:15:44] Speaker E: Well, but this doesn't say limited.
[00:15:46] Speaker A: I know, because I couldn't find any. So that's why I seen it, because it was different.
[00:15:50] Speaker E: You lucky, because it doesn't have to be limited.
[00:15:53] Speaker A: I was going to order from just.
[00:15:55] Speaker C: Anything more than just salted glaze.
[00:15:58] Speaker A: I was going to order from Amazon. They had Pringles. There's like twelve of them.
[00:16:05] Speaker E: Like a multi pack.
[00:16:07] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:16:07] Speaker A: It was an oriental based.
[00:16:09] Speaker E: Heck, yeah. We'll try that.
[00:16:14] Speaker F: Let's get it.
[00:16:15] Speaker A: I'll do it.
[00:16:19] Speaker E: I just want people to know I've got a wussy mouth. I've got a straight out white boy wussy mouth. So if these are super hot, you're going to see me crying like a little girl.
[00:16:30] Speaker A: Are you going to do the little diarrhea rum, too? It's going to go right through you.
[00:16:35] Speaker C: I don't even think it's white people hot.
[00:16:39] Speaker A: There ain't no color to it.
[00:16:42] Speaker E: Wow.
[00:16:43] Speaker C: The honey really comes through big time.
[00:16:46] Speaker E: Really?
[00:16:47] Speaker B: Holy cow, that is sweet.
[00:16:48] Speaker C: Yeah.
And then it's just a little warm and then it tastes like potato.
[00:16:58] Speaker E: Let me try a couple more of them things.
[00:17:03] Speaker C: It's just a tad bit more salt. I'm good.
[00:17:06] Speaker E: I grabbed a lot of salt.
[00:17:08] Speaker A: This is gross.
[00:17:09] Speaker E: I hate honey, though.
That is like super sweet.
[00:17:16] Speaker C: It's not bad, though.
[00:17:19] Speaker A: I'm over three.
[00:17:21] Speaker E: Over three?
[00:17:22] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:17:26] Speaker C: That's crazy how they can turn honey into a powder.
[00:17:30] Speaker F: Wow.
[00:17:30] Speaker E: That is like, where's the hot? There's nothing hot. You get a little bit.
[00:17:35] Speaker C: Eat more it warmed up.
[00:17:37] Speaker E: The more you eat, the more you get.
[00:17:42] Speaker F: Hot.
[00:17:42] Speaker C: Honey is not meant to be like, melt your face off.
[00:17:45] Speaker E: That is like super sweet, though.
[00:17:48] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:17:51] Speaker A: I'm going to find them.
[00:17:54] Speaker E: There's like no salt flavor to it at all.
[00:17:56] Speaker A: Maybe that's why I don't like it. Because there is no salt.
[00:17:59] Speaker E: No, there's no salt. I mean, very little. It's just enough to. But, yeah, you just got to put.
[00:18:05] Speaker C: The chip on your tongue before you chew it.
[00:18:07] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:18:08] Speaker E: Okay, well, then on that note.
[00:18:14] Speaker A: Good.
[00:18:18] Speaker E: I could eat them. Yeah, I would probably stack them with other flavors.
Yeah. Great. Sandwich with them, dude.
[00:18:26] Speaker F: That's what I do.
[00:18:27] Speaker C: I get pizza and barbecue and jalapeno.
[00:18:29] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:18:30] Speaker A: Yeah, throw in the jalapeno. Pineapple.
[00:18:32] Speaker F: Boom.
[00:18:33] Speaker A: Get some food in there, too.
Your wifey tried the pineapple Pepsi.
[00:18:41] Speaker E: Pineapple Pepsi.
[00:18:42] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:18:42] Speaker A: It was only sold at little Caesars.
[00:18:45] Speaker E: At little Caesars?
[00:18:46] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:18:47] Speaker E: No, we didn't.
[00:18:48] Speaker F: Right.
[00:18:49] Speaker A: No.
[00:18:50] Speaker E: I don't know if they have it.
[00:18:51] Speaker A: Anymore, but this was like a few months back.
[00:18:53] Speaker E: We don't eat.
[00:18:54] Speaker C: Pepsico is all about their hooking up restaurants.
[00:18:58] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:18:59] Speaker C: Having special flavors. I mean, that's why Taco Bell has Baja blast.
[00:19:03] Speaker E: But Baja blast, you can buy in a can now, too.
[00:19:05] Speaker C: But you couldn't for, like, for years. 15 years.
[00:19:07] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:19:08] Speaker C: And then KFC has sweet lightning.
Bdubs now has their own special flavor of Mountain Dew.
[00:19:15] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:19:15] Speaker E: Draws the end of the restaurant. They're open.
So anyway, on that note, I think we have run our course on a little possessive.
[00:19:26] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: Dude wasn't a little possessive. That dude was crazy. Yeah, there's a difference. Being possessive.
[00:19:31] Speaker E: Well, that's what happens when you get know. And I gotta say, I thought I'm going to sound a little like Timmy. Right, boy.
Because I thought Mrs. Wellington was a very attractive older woman.
[00:19:49] Speaker C: With her pinky out.
[00:19:51] Speaker E: I think she did.
[00:19:55] Speaker A: She was pretty.
[00:19:56] Speaker E: She was a pretty lady.
[00:19:59] Speaker A: Not like butt licking pretty, but she was pretty.
[00:20:08] Speaker C: So I can see the viewer count tumbling now.
[00:20:13] Speaker E: Yeah, she was a pretty and. And Mary was all right, too. Mary was pretty. Mary was a pretty. And I think that was like her first appearance in a movie, I think.
[00:20:26] Speaker A: Really?
[00:20:27] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:20:27] Speaker E: What was her name?
Kristen.
What was her name?
[00:20:32] Speaker A: Mary Tyler Moore.
Dolly Parton.
[00:20:37] Speaker E: Kristen Scott Thomas.
[00:20:39] Speaker A: That's what I meant to say.
[00:20:40] Speaker C: I know that name.
[00:20:41] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:20:42] Speaker E: I think this was like her first role.
[00:20:44] Speaker C: Why do I know that name?
[00:20:47] Speaker E: She's done a lot since then.
[00:20:49] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:20:50] Speaker E: So she was on that one of the cherry moon. Yeah.
[00:20:56] Speaker C: What about the two movie? What's the other one?
What's one of millennials had?
[00:21:04] Speaker E: Stephen Burkoff in there.
[00:21:06] Speaker C: See, I don't know that name.
[00:21:07] Speaker E: Oh, you'd know the guy if you've seen him, though. What's his name? Steven Burkoff. He was Stephen Jerkoff.
Berkoff.
[00:21:16] Speaker A: Oh, Berkoff.
[00:21:18] Speaker E: Boy, this is just.
Should we just flush this toilet now?
[00:21:22] Speaker C: I mean, it's already spiraling.
[00:21:25] Speaker A: It's going into different places.
[00:21:28] Speaker F: So.
[00:21:28] Speaker E: Yeah.
Mrs. Wellington was Francesca Anis.
A very pretty so. All right, not anus.
[00:21:47] Speaker A: I knew where it was going.
[00:21:49] Speaker E: I was trying to get it out of the way.
Just be done with it.
[00:21:53] Speaker A: Good job, sir.
[00:21:54] Speaker E: Just be done with it. All right, I think we've done enough damage here. So till next time, people. Peace.
[00:22:00] Speaker F: Peace.
