From Baby Knows:

"She'll make you feel like Stephanie Brown Tonight."
...to which I replied, "who is Stephanie Brown?"

Little did I know he was talking about poop: "She'll make you feel like your stuff ain't brown tonight."

Had he just said 'shit,' I woulda gotten it straight!

Oh well, imagine English being your second language. Then try making sense of lyrics like; "Scrambled eggs are so boring 4 U're all, all that I wanna know
Kisses never lie when delivered with milk from your lips
Morning glories (never) cry, my love 4 U, baby, drips"

Uhm, I am always so glad when albums are delivered with lyrics.

And I still sing CREAMY VICE instead of CREAMY THIGHS.
Well, whateva!

*** On the song "Lovesexy",I always thought he was saying "U want me to swim in your love sea" instead of the correct metaphoric phrase "U want me to swivel in your love seat".In their review of the album,Rolling Stone magazine also mis-quoted that lyric.

***On the song "When Doves Cry",I actually thought he was singing "....and in the most tricherious poses,they feel the heat"....lol....as if "tricherious" makes any sense!

***I once got into a debate with a girl who insisted that,on the song "Erotic City",the lyric is "If we cannot make believe",as opposed to the more common "If we cannot make babies".There is also some uncertaintly as to whether Sheila E. is singing "We can FUNK until the dawn" or the more commonly quoted "We can FUCK until the dawn".

Thank goodness that,on most of his albums,Prince provides a lyric sheet:)

"We Can Funk".....this can't be right!!
"I'll gladly pee in anybodies cup, and when the cup overflow...i'll just drink it up, and i'll give ya some mo"
As far as i know, there are no lyric sheets for this CD, so i'm lost.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

i know that it says 'i'll gladly pee in anybody's cup' cos the pryor line says 'i'm testing positive for the funk..'
but i really don't think he says anything about drinking it..lol

good thread! my mis-heard lyric comes from "u got the look". i know there are lyrics with SOTT album, but i just didn't get round to checking them for years...

anyway, in the line "closin' time, ugly lights, everybody's inspected", i heard "closin' time" as "clouds in time".

and i always thought it was a really cool line, as if prince was conducting the clouds in the sky: "all right now! clouds in time! on the ONE!"

a couple of other things:

1.) what is whispered near the end of "mountains"? first someone shouts something which sounds like "bobby on the drummer!" and then there is a whisper which sounds like "starfish".

2.) i understand that the lightening seeds (uk pop group) took their name from a misheard lyric in "raspberry beret"- "thunder drowns out what the lightening see[d]s".

What about Kiss?

Towards the end. Does he say: "Seen now Wendy can play?"

Excellent, tiger2! I've been listening to The Hits recently and was actually thinking, "does the phrase lightening seeds really exist? I suppose it must because there's a band called that! Wonder what it really means?" Don't I feel silly now! At least I'm not the only one to have misheard it!

oh, here's a good one- my sister heard the word "honey", at the start of the lines in "new position" as:

"cotton alley"!

listen to it, it's very convincing-

"cotton alley! we've been together,
cotton alley! for too long..."

do you mean during wendy's wah wah guitar solo? he's saying "little girl wendy's parade"- which was the original lyric and title for "christopher tracey's parade". there's an outtake where he sings that song using "little girl wendy's parade" throughout...

I think he says "starvation" and then screams "NO!".
