thanks, nice one!.. reading all about this gingerbread man song & reactions! sounds like an intense moment!..

i love question of u, i can't help thinking pervy thoughts when i hear it. i love the footage from nude tour omg bliss.. fantasy gone wild

only prince could sing about gingerbread men & create an erotic mood, whether intentional or not

uhmmmm purple satin with ruffles!!

omg he's singing, can't make much out, it's a twist on question of u..he's loving it, playing the crowd.. he whispers in a filthy way 'the gingerbreadman' & the women are going fucking loopy!

it's very weird

Hey guys... what's up... I too was at Butter that night 6/16/06 and will never forget it!

Though I never met you two, it's pretty cool to know that you were there too and witnessed the same awesome experience...

Hopefully we will have another opportunity in the future.

Peace... and Happy New Year... (and more New P Jams!)

G

Holla --- DTNDTS, LadyDivah, 2Elijah!

I was also at Butter in 2006 -- nice security guard let me in without a ticket. Most awesome Prince experience ever!

I was called up by Tamar to dance at the end as well, LadyDivah! I was the tall gal in front of ?uestlove. lol

I went to both MSG concerts -- section 21 on 12/29. Perfect!

Am contemplating going on 1/18. If you guys learn of any good seats becoming available, pls hit me up -- if you've got a connection or something!! I'd love to hook up with y'all.

Wow, hi there! Nice to see all the post 2006 Butter show folks are popping up here. Lucky that you got into Butter without a ticket, because so many fans really wanted to be there, but good for you. No connection, but may go to the 1/18 show to top it all off, because who knows when Prince may come back this way and grace the East Coast with his presence.

so glad I wasn't the only one who noticed his friggin schlong bouncing around while he danced in that red outfit...whoa. I saw it at the last show in East Rutherford in the yellow pants, but the red showed more I though.

Did anyone notice how he pulled his pants down on the top when he was on the ramp opposite the piano? It was a little after he opened his shirt. lol

I love whorish Prince.

(Also it only begins with the ? of U, once he starts singing it merges to a different music very island'ish like with renato on the keyboard.)

Once upon a time,

lil old hand (??)

put some dough together and made a gingerbreadman
emeraulds for eyes, cheries for bottoms
once they were open,
she knew, she loved him for nothin

If you can see me holler as loud as u can
If you could see me, you think u'd catch.. the gingerbreadman

Now, I love me some me, but I'm sick of the island
I'm looking for ginger I'm tired, I'm tired maryann

????

Ain't no drought about it
I can make the weather change
Everytime I make love, it rains

If you're standing over a puddle, if you're standing over a puddle
????

sometimes it snows, sometimes it rains,
do u know how to catch the gingerbread man...(repeat 2x)

But after the "..standing over the puddle" part, didn't he say something like (paraphrase) "You can(fill in blank) and ride my guitar." He said something to that effect. We need clarity on this right away...

[Edited 12/31/10 14:36pm]

"Once upon a time, these old hands....I wanted Ginger, I was tired of Mary Ann....sometimes it snows, sometimes it rains, do you know how to catch the gingerbread man?" then he does a solo on the stratocaster

so far ive only seen footage of the beginning and end of the song...the middle was the best part...

still no piano encore!! someone at least had to get do me baby and i wanna be your lover!!!

I just realized that "Mary Ann" and "Ginger" are names of the female characters from "Gilligan's Island"...and in another part of the verses in the "The Gingerbread Man", he mentions he's "sick of the island", quite clever and interesting.

Yes, that "Question of U/Gingerbread Man" version was definitely sultry and captivated the audience and took a dramatic effect on them. Prince owned the audience totally during that song. When the concert ended and the crowd was going down the stairs, I heard this female fan say "He's so captivating!"

[Edited 1/1/11 6:50am]

Also, I wanted to say that the song combo was The ? Of U AND The One...the latter being what he sang most of the words that we are trying to recall to...

Ok, I really want to hear this song. Sounds weird. I like weird.

Does PRince have green eyes? It just hit me in the lyrics that was posted he said the gingerbread man had emerald eyes..... And his bottom did look like sheeries in the red outfit he had on 12/29!

Once upon a time,

These old hands

put some dough together and made a gingerbreadman
emeralds for eyes, cherries for bottoms
once they were open,
she knew, she loved him for nothin

If you could see me holler as loud as u can
See me, if you can catch... the gingerbreadman

Now, I love me some me, but I'm sick of the island
I'm looking for ginger I'm tired, I'm tired maryann

If you got what I need

Holla as loud as you can

If you can catch the Gingerbread man

I need something cold (guitar solo)

Ain't no drought about it
I can make the weather change
Everytime I make love, it rains

If you're standing over a puddle, if you're standing over a puddle, if you're standing over puddle

Jump on my hips

Like me and this guitar

Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya

Jump!

pretty much. Same general idea, different twist... but a very nice surprise!
