What words, when you hear 'em, make u...

... automatically think of Prince or start singing one of his songs?

Here are some of mine.

* Minneapolis (I'm like "that's where Prince is from" )
* Pumps (makes me think of 'Lolita')
* Prints (thanx 2 Psych... "we've got prints." "Was he in a little red corvette under the cherry moon?" "Finger prints!")... makes me jump 2 conclusions all the time now.

I've got plenty more, but this is all I think of right now.
This'll be a one of those PurpleNeck type threads.

The instant I heard Gold’s first note, it became Prince’s mark on my soul: a tattoo I wear with pride.
Prince is Dreamy, gives my Life that Pop and 2 the industry, he’s Royalty.

You know somebody's gonna say midget

Oops!

You owe me $5. I caught the big fish....again

Sorry, hope I didn't ruin your thread


Everytime i hear someone say Hundalasiliah I can't help thinking of Prince

You owe me $5. I caught the big fish....again

Everytime I hear the word "Electric" I think of my favorite Prince song "Electric Intercourse". Some kinda crazy reaction.

I've found myself typing "does not compute" a lot more after getting 1999.

Well, there's another right there.

When "1999" comes, I think of the song.

*The same goes for years. I automatically associate them with the album from that year.

Purple!

The moment I pick up the phone and hear the dialling tone, I have to say '319, please?'

In the UK, we have this Project Management thing called Prince2. Nuff said, and I bet every UK Orger who works in an environment involving this, will know.

And now, any two-by-two pairing of 4 numbers I come across, I have to 'sing' to the tune of 3121. Like the combination locks on the doors at work which are four figures, or amounts of money, eg £35.67 or whatever.

The breakfast cereal Cinnamon Grahams, is usually sung to the obvious tune.

Recently, whenever anybody mentions their pc screen resolution, it usually involves me asking 'how many people, really want resolution?' to bewildered results.

When people say, "Take the bull by the hornz it reminds me."

When someone says monkey, I think "purple monkey puppet"

You guys all know which movie scene I'm talking about

Minneapolis: I never really thought of the city until I discovered Prince.

1999: I will always think of Prince whenever reference to this year is made.

Controversy: I never knew what the word meant until I heard the song and asked my grandmother what it meant.

Head and Jack U Off: When I was listening to these songs back in 1980 and 1981, I didn't know what the words meant. I learned their meaning when I snuck and found my uncle's Penthouse magazines and read the words used in sentences in the forums. You could say that it was Prince that taught me about sex.

Purple: Everytime I see this color, I think of Prince.

Pheremone and Endorphine: I never had heard of these words either until Prince.

How can I forget the main word "Prince" which makes me instantly think of Prince. Any time they mention a particular prince such as Prince Charles, I immediately think of Prince.

The tabloids know it too. I remember when the movie "Purple Rain" was out, there was a headline in a tabloid that said "Prince falls off of bike". I opened the magazine and the article was about Prince Charles' son falling off his bicycle. They knew how to get people's attention.

Minneapolis
Prince (as in actual royalty)
Princess
Prints
$19.99
Guitar
London (the past few months)
Las Vegas (the last year or so)

Also, words or phrases from his songs or movies. At the moment I am watching "Who's the Boss" (don't ask) and Mona just said "It's getting warm in here" and I immediately thought of Scandalous Sex Suite when Kim B. says "it's getting warm in here."
Every day I hear (or say) something that reminds me of Prince, his music and/or movies.

Haha... I cannot see a JW related thing w/o thinking about Prince. During my long weekend with the family, we were driving to a family wedding. And we drove by a church of Jehovah's Witnesses and I was like I didn't know they actually had their own churches. I thought they just traveled door 2 door and annoy people with their persistence.
But if Prince ever came 2 my door, I wouldn't turn him away.

Just the other day I started singing 'Avalanche' when I watched a story about Abraham Lincoln...My hubby looked at me and chuckled...He's heard the song once or twice

When I see a starfish, or even see the bat for the Batman movie. When I see grand homes or fashionable shoes. Beautiful colors...anything in the purple tones, and raspberries....I could go on and on!

He gets it! That's why the ladies love him...
