  • CgWhat does the female voice say at the very end of the song, sounds something like "too much of that Snow White"?
  • Princess Hollywood from Los AngelesCatCatCat is correct. It's "promenade". Still the best single in ages. Ending never fails to give me absolute chills 40 years later.
  • Catcatcat from UsaUhh…he’s saying ‘promenade’, not ‘I’m an ape’.
