Episode Transcript
[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. 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.
[00:00:44] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:00:53] Speaker C: Sorry, I gotta walk a mile.
What's up, dudes and dudettes? This is the most recent episode of the Alphabet Suite podcast.
I am not your host or your co host.
I am the disembodied voice coming through.
[00:01:14] Speaker E: Your speakers, producer Aaron Ragan.
I am one of your hosts. Pat.
[00:01:26] Speaker A: I am your.
What did you say?
[00:01:33] Speaker C: Other host.
[00:01:33] Speaker E: I said I am one of your hosts.
[00:01:35] Speaker A: Oh, I like that. I am your other half of your host.
I'm your hostess, Tim McGraw.
[00:01:51] Speaker E: So what are we talking about this episode? Producer AARON A song that doesn't exist that we know of.
[00:01:59] Speaker C: I'm sorry. A song that hasn't been released that we know of. All I want just a little love.
[00:02:10] Speaker E: I'll give you a lot of love.
[00:02:11] Speaker C: And I don't know anything about it.
[00:02:13] Speaker E: No, that's your job. That's our job. We'll talk about this.
So this song was never even known about until Prince passed and they did a auction for some of his stuff.
Why? I don't know, but that's happened quite a bit. I've seen tons of auctions for print stuff from people, and this song was just included in some handwritten lyrics in a 2020 auction.
[00:02:51] Speaker A: I like his. His writing is the way he writes.
[00:02:55] Speaker E: He writes very fluffy. Yeah, you know, I don't want to say girly, because then I'll get in trouble, but it's very balloony.
But the lyrics were included with lyrics from I feel for you, just one night with you and another one called Am I Wrong? So they're all in this notebook that Prince had and they think it was from 1979 because all these other songs were, you know, from back then. So they're assuming that these lyrics were all written around the same time.
So.
[00:03:42] Speaker A: So is that all they have is the handwritten lyrics?
[00:03:48] Speaker E: That's it. That's all that is known about this song, was that they're in this notebook from Prince's stuff that has. It's verified his writing, you know, it's his notebook. It came from his stuff, and it has lyrics from I feel for you, Just one night with you and am I wrong? And all I want just a little love.
So that's the. That's it. That's all that's known about this song.
[00:04:18] Speaker A: Horrible thing.
[00:04:19] Speaker E: Mm.
[00:04:23] Speaker A: Is that probably could have been a great song. Hopefully somewhere in that vault is the actual song. Is that. Because how would you take his lyrics and try to.
[00:04:32] Speaker E: You'd have no idea what.
[00:04:33] Speaker A: Right?
[00:04:34] Speaker E: Yeah, Nothing.
Is it a slow song? Is it a fast song? Is it, you know, because there's no notes on to, like, what the music is, you know, is it. Sometimes, you know, artists will write, you know, upbeat tempo, you know, four beat this, you know, whatever. You know, there was nothing but lyrics.
So we don't even know what. We know the lyrics to the song.
[00:05:02] Speaker A: Yes, we do.
[00:05:03] Speaker E: You know, let's write a song. Let's write a song.
[00:05:07] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:05:09] Speaker E: Like right now?
[00:05:11] Speaker C: No, we're kind of busy.
[00:05:14] Speaker E: I'm not that good either, so.
Yeah, so, yeah, we. We know nothing about this song other than the lyrics and the title of the song.
Are you okay? Did you see something shiny?
[00:05:31] Speaker A: No, I'm looking at the thingy. Majiggy.
[00:05:34] Speaker E: Oh, yeah. We forgot to turn the light out.
[00:05:36] Speaker A: We did.
[00:05:36] Speaker C: You know what? I do know what. You had a story that started last episode.
[00:05:41] Speaker E: I. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's kind of a story, but then again, it's kind of not.
And I don't want to blast on anybody, but I'm gonna blast on them.
[00:05:57] Speaker A: Blast away.
[00:05:58] Speaker E: Well, here's the thing. I'm so tired.
It started the title of this is I hate Facebook. This is my Story.
[00:06:10] Speaker C: Documentary.
[00:06:11] Speaker E: Documentary. This is episode one. I hate Facebook because they're one of them companies that have just gotten so big that they just think they can rule the world now, you know?
And is Mark Zuckerberg even. Did he sell it, or is he still running it?
[00:06:27] Speaker C: As far as I'm aware, it's still his.
[00:06:29] Speaker E: You know, the guy. I don't know him personally, but if he's allowing his company to do things like what I'm going to talk about, then he's really a douche. You know, it started a couple months ago. We have, as you all know, we have a sister channel called Alphabet Suite Playlist that plays on YouTube only.
All the songs that we talk about, all the covers, all the samples, everyone that will legally allow us to put on there, we put on there. There are some that get blocked for copyright and that's fine, you can find them elsewhere.
But so we also, at one point were on our Facebook page, we're giving you the lists of the songs. So, like, if you wanted especially like with 1999, 1999 was huge. There's over 100 different versions between Prince and other artists for 1999.
So we would put lists out there and all they were were lists. Here is the list of all the songs, here's the name of the song, here's the artist, and here's if it's a cover, a sample, or a Prince, Right?
They started taking down our posts on Facebook and removing our content on Facebook because they were saying that we were trying to redirect with links. We never put any links in our stuff, redirect people to make a profit.
Not once in our post did we have links. Not once were we trying to sell anything. Not once were we trying to make a profit. And not once that I can recall did we even say, hey, go look at the Alphabet suite playlist. We just put, here's the list of songs for whatever song we were talking about that week, right? And they started taking them down and removing them and giving us all these BS excuse. And then they'd say, hey, if you want to file appeal, press this button. You press the button, it doesn't do anything.
[00:08:45] Speaker A: They're horrible.
[00:08:46] Speaker E: Yeah. Well, then on top of that, just a little while ago, I know somebody who posted a picture of their children in Halloween costumes, right? Just a picture of kids in Halloween costumes standing next to each other. That's it.
The picture got removed and this person got blocked from Facebook for like five days for posting pictures of kids in sexual positions.
Again, if you want to appeal, press the button. You press the button, it doesn't do anything.
So I'm just to a point right now with Facebook, you know, it just drives me nuts if. If you're bots that check this stuff, that's what they're going to do. Instead of like, you know, saying, hey, we see this picture and send it to a real person who will look at it and say, oh, you know, because you can get outright sex on Facebook.
[00:09:46] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:09:48] Speaker E: And you want to take down a list of songs or a picture of kids in a Halloween costume. If you find two kids standing there in Halloween costumes looking at a camera, sexual, you got some problems.
[00:10:04] Speaker A: Yes, you do.
[00:10:05] Speaker E: You know what I mean?
So, okay, I hate Facebook. Chapter one, over.
So I. I'm really considering just getting off Facebook altogether. I just. Yeah, I'm getting to where I. I Don't like. I don't like people who feel they're so powerful they can just throw their weight around and you know what I mean?
[00:10:26] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:10:27] Speaker E: So anyway, I don't even.
[00:10:30] Speaker A: I don't bother with Facebook anymore, which is sad. But.
[00:10:35] Speaker E: Did you need to get close to the mic? I can't hear you.
[00:10:38] Speaker A: I am close to the mic. You want me to, like, kiss the mic?
[00:10:42] Speaker E: This is what I was hearing.
[00:10:43] Speaker A: I can hear you.
This is what I was hearing.
[00:10:47] Speaker C: Walking to the top of it. Silly man.
[00:10:49] Speaker E: Yo, look, there you are. Now I can hear you.
[00:10:52] Speaker C: This can move, too.
[00:11:00] Speaker E: Thank you, sir.
[00:11:01] Speaker C: There you go.
[00:11:02] Speaker A: Happy?
[00:11:02] Speaker E: Don't look at me like you're gonna fudge. I feel like you're gonna mug me. As soon as we walk out of.
[00:11:06] Speaker C: The studio, I feel like we're gonna have snack time.
[00:11:09] Speaker E: Oh, I think maybe Tim. Tim McGraw with AIDS is getting a little hangry.
[00:11:18] Speaker C: We don't have Snickers.
[00:11:20] Speaker A: I'm angry all the time.
[00:11:21] Speaker E: I said hangry. Oh, I know you. You. You are a very angry man. That's the thing.
[00:11:27] Speaker A: That's where it's at, bro.
[00:11:29] Speaker E: Yeah. So snack time. Who's. Who is affiliated with us for snack time?

[00:13:34] Speaker C: I'm not going to say that on the show.
[00:13:37] Speaker E: Is. Is it who I think it is?
[00:13:39] Speaker C: I'm not in your head.

[00:14:06] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:14:06] Speaker E: Good. That's why she bought more.
At least they didn't go to waste. Did you try it?
[00:14:13] Speaker A: No. I want you to smell it.
[00:14:16] Speaker E: You want me to smell it?
[00:14:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I always smell everything. So you smell too?
My kids like the cookies too. Said it was really good.
[00:14:28] Speaker E: I don't really smell much.
[00:14:29] Speaker A: Yeah, that's weird because the cookies actually you could smell.
[00:14:33] Speaker E: You could smell everything in it.
[00:14:34] Speaker A: Yeah, go for it.
That's why I sent it there.
Yeah, yeah.
[00:14:41] Speaker E: Go first.
Smell. Smell it. Smell it. You can smell it.
Oh, you can see it in his face. He's trying to hold it back. That's horrible.
Oh, isn't it?
[00:15:09] Speaker C: That's bad.
Here, you know what? Some reference material.
[00:15:20] Speaker E: No, I have an Oreo that just tastes like Diet Coke. Oh, no, no, I don't think so.
I get a sweet, an odd sweet flavor. Like an Oreo cream.
No.
[00:15:42] Speaker C: That'S a double stuff.
[00:15:46] Speaker E: Oh, I kind of get a. I can get a little bit of Oreo flavor in there.
[00:15:49] Speaker A: I'm getting like a vanilla. Like a.
[00:15:52] Speaker E: Like the cream.
[00:15:52] Speaker A: Yeah.
But then I get that. That's not bad. But then I get that funky.
[00:15:58] Speaker C: Shhh.
[00:15:59] Speaker A: Kaboom in the back of my throat. It's just horrible. Like a diet Pop.
That's probably the zero sugar.
Yeah, that's horrible. If it didn't have that, that would really be good.
[00:16:13] Speaker E: I think I'm gonna say right now I did not get near the diet flavoring out of that than what I do with a lot of other diet sodas.
[00:16:20] Speaker A: Didn't get that thing in the back of your. Really?
[00:16:23] Speaker E: No, I did not. Why am I eating an Oreo? Clue.
[00:16:29] Speaker A: He gave it to you.
[00:16:30] Speaker C: If you haven't had an Oreo in forever, there's an Oreo. Oh, now you know.
[00:16:36] Speaker E: I get a little bit of this flavor in there.
[00:16:38] Speaker A: Yeah, just a little.
[00:16:40] Speaker C: All right. First time ever I'm doing a thing on this show.
[00:16:43] Speaker E: Oh, that is straight up.
[00:16:52] Speaker A: Oh, beep.
[00:17:00] Speaker E: I would not drink it again.
[00:17:02] Speaker A: Not with that thing. In the back of my throat now. But if it didn't have that, man.
[00:17:07] Speaker E: Disgusting.
[00:17:08] Speaker A: I think that's really good.
[00:17:09] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:17:10] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:11] Speaker C: I don't get how people can drink diets and zero sugars and all that cancer sugar crap.
[00:17:16] Speaker A: I can drink.
[00:17:17] Speaker C: Tastes so bad.
[00:17:20] Speaker A: Diet Dr. Pepper.
It tastes just like Dr. Pepper.
[00:17:25] Speaker C: If you want to be healthier and still drink soda, get ones with cane sugar.
If you want to be healthy, don't drink soda.
[00:17:34] Speaker E: Pretty much cane sugar.
[00:17:35] Speaker A: Is that like Pepsi with real sugar? Okay.
[00:17:39] Speaker C: No, they have ones that say cane sugar.
[00:17:41] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:17:41] Speaker C: Which are basically the ones that aren't.
[00:17:43] Speaker E: Made in the States, like Mexican Coke.
[00:17:46] Speaker C: And dude, the Mexican Fanta is so good mention.
[00:17:56] Speaker E: Why aren't you laughing?
[00:17:57] Speaker A: Well, you gotta call them all like that, bro.
[00:17:59] Speaker E: It's Mexican coke. It's coke from Mexico, not drugs. What is wrong with you, boy?
[00:18:04] Speaker C: Tim's thinking about black tar heroin, right?
Oh, that's already making me feel sick.
[00:18:14] Speaker E: Look, all I want is just a little love, man.
[00:18:17] Speaker A: You can have it.
That Coke from Mexico.
[00:18:21] Speaker E: It is.
We had. So when we were. We took a mission trip to Haiti, we had Haitian Coke and.
[00:18:31] Speaker A: Really?
[00:18:32] Speaker E: Yeah, same thing made with real sugar and not all these crap ingredients and probably tasted great. Yeah, it tastes really good.
[00:18:40] Speaker A: I like Pepsi made with real sugar. I don't know about cane sugar.
[00:18:49] Speaker C: There's a difference.
[00:18:50] Speaker A: There's a difference.
[00:18:51] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:18:52] Speaker A: But I think the real sugar, Pepsi, I think that's a lot better than that crap that they.
[00:18:58] Speaker E: High fructose. High fructose corn syrup. That's what. Yeah, that stuff just goes right into fat. Yeah.
[00:19:05] Speaker C: Because your body doesn't know how to process it.
[00:19:08] Speaker A: So.
Yeah.
[00:19:11] Speaker E: All right. So we can't really talk about the song because we never heard it.
[00:19:14] Speaker C: Thanks, Castos. Even though it was terrible.
[00:19:19] Speaker E: Yeah, I won't do that again.
Anyway, I think we've used up the allotted time for this episode, so if.
[00:19:29] Speaker C: You try this horrible soda, want to let us know how horrible you think it is?
