Do you think P will censor his songs if he does a tour for 3121?


I mean, really...what would be the purpose of him still changing "Wear lingerie to restaurant" to "Get busy in the middle of a restaurant" when he has his the twins wearing nothing but a shirt, panties and high-heels on national tv.

for now i do, just wait 5 years and he'll be singing purple rain again

If you think about it, 'Get busy in the middle of a restaurant' ie get, ermm, amorous in a restaurant, is far racier than the original about wearing lingerie!

I think he's okay with his women wearing lingerie in appropriate situations, ie. on stage, rather than a restaurant!

Hey, he's full of contradictions. It seems like his religious preaching has eased a bit, but I don't think his JW philosophy has completely changed yet, so yes, I think he'll still change various lyrics that for whatever reason he has a problem with.

Yeah, you're right about the changed lyrics in that line being racier than the original lyrics.

That was a quick 5 years, he's already performed that one live this year...

It wasn't on tour was it? just a show

andykeen said:

he has been saying that for the last 15 years...what makes you think he is actually going to stick to it this time?

PurpleCharm said:

What's really silly is the infantile way in which he decides to change them and where. He still sings about the same things, just changes the words to describe it, etc... he can sing 'foreplay' but can't sing 'whore'?

Hold on...

Where is your logic here?.... didn't you give me this reply in another thread?

You really must be confused because the issue is hardly the same. This is a case of Prince censoring songs he's already written a decade or more ago and, essentially, making change for changes sake... "Getting busy in a restaurant" is hardly more wholesome than "Wear lingerie to a restaurant'. Saying "Work that body like you want some more" can be seen as being just as provocative to anyone who would be offended by the original line given the name of the song. Telling WB they have to substitute Sexy Mutha for Sexy MF on the Ultimate Collection, etc... How effective is censoring a 'supposed' cuss word in the first place if the meaning of the line is still the same?

To look at it in a nonsexual way...Why call them 'fancy lookin' hubcaps' when you can just call them 'rims'?

Ummmmm.....some of the Hits were just played at the Brit
Awards. So.....

As you said, it's merely an opinion of the listener. If I've grown accustomed to "clean-lyric" Prince because he's given ample time to get used to it as a listener...

and every 9 songs he throws in a "Lil' Whodi"...

Oh nevermind...

PurpleCharm said:

prince will always play his old stuff. but it will be different and there are some songs that we'll never hear him sing again, like head and let's pretend we're married. ain't no religious cover-up lyrics for them... can you think of some?

"head, it's your think-ing cap
head, what yo momma used to slap
head, the location of your hair
head, bob it like just don't care"


lol.

that's fucking brilliant. haha!!!

My Response 2 PRINCE is COME AS U ARE! SAY WHAT U WILL! Don't CHANGE the WORDS ANYMORE....B .....U!

alwayslate said:

Its a bit of a shame that he no longer plays his hits like before. But it really is his perogative.

And I gotta say, I quite like the "suggestive" cussing in 3121, for some reason.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I hope not. There's nothing in this whole wide world as healing and transcendental as a freewheeling Prince.
