Do certain lyrics make you laugh, even though they're not supposed to?

For me:

"He made the dumb understand" (4 the Tears in Your Eyes)
This just sounds so cold, like "Jesus--so simple even stupid people get it!". It's funny to me.

"My hairdresser's gay" (Madrid 2 Chicago)
Well, duh. But even more than that, I love that a straight man has a hairdresser.

If you've got more, throw 'em out.

How do you know they're not supposed to make you laugh?

SUPRMAN said:

I just don't think they're supposed to.

Efan said:

But like he's said "right in the middle they stuck a joke or two, wtf?" Dig U Better Dead
[Edited 6/14/08 8:21am]

"could U lie down on a bed of thorns while I lick ya ocean dry?"

I could and I laugh joyously at the thought

SUPRMAN said:

Actually, that's "a toke or two."

Efan said:

WHAT?! That doesn't make contextual sense. Why a toke in the middle of a contract?

SUPRMAN said:

the whole song doesn't make much sense to me

SUPRMAN said:

He's not talking about himself; he's talking about them taking a toke or two.

From DTT:

Dig U better dead, I dig U better dead (I dig U)
Dig U better dead, I dig U better dead
Dig U better dead, I dig U better dead (I dig U)
Dig U better dead, I dig U better dead

A long time ago, U took 6 months of walkin'
Talkin' on the other side
What started as an experiment
Turned into a heaven-sent message that saved your ass from dyin'

CHORUS:
Somebody said in life there's always peaks and valleys
And if U're lost, they won't show U the way
That same somebody said, "I dig U better dead!
But I much rather see if your God is what U said, said, said"

And with an awesome power they struck
First they offer up the buck
Right in the middle, right in the middle they stuck
(Oh, right in the middle)
A toke or 2, what the fuck? (What the fuck? Yeah)

One minute U're hot
Tell the truth and U're not
That's the noose that they hang on a goose like U

CHORUS

Dig U better dead, I dig U better dead {x4}

And whatever U do, don't make somebody happy
Don't dress 2 freaky and make their daughters stare
Then U will find out how deep the valley truly be
If U plan on catchin' the bus, U better have plenty fare

CHORUS

Dig U better dead, I dig U better dead {x2}
Dig, dig, dig U better dead
Dig, dig U better dead

CHORUS

I dig U better dead, I dig U better dead
Dig U better dead, I dig U better dead {x3}

Its not from a song, But "answer me, motherfuckER!" from Purple rain always cracks me the hell up.

Prince's lyrics are funny sometimes...He's really cute that way.

'What good is time if U take up, every day 2 complain?'

From Mad Sex.

If only Prince had taken up his own advice during the mid-nineties.

I know this isn't a line from a song of his but its what he said at the Grammy awards as Alicia Keys & Frank Sinatra had a virtual duet "Frank Sinatra looks good for 150 didn't he?''

"I want to make you happy, baby,
(Oh yes)
Happier than happy itself" -Future Baby Mama

I have to every time I hear that dumb line.

ToraToraDreams said:

lool me 2

ToraToraDreams said:

Same here!
also when (the kid) always says to apollonia.. "let's go!"
& one more of many.. when morris screams at (the kid) "you long haired faggot!"

it's all in jest u guys.

"The P"
"I see another cutie lookin straight at me
she got more boom than a little bit see
and I ain't wit that, cuz she too fat
so I give her to my buddy cuz it's like that!"

WTF Prince?!

Girl:

"You know what else I am?
You know what else I am?
You know what else I am?
...I'm a good KISSER, too!"

eyewishuheaven said:

Prince himself had to chuckle after he said that shit!

From Head, delivered by Lisa;

You're such a hunk,
so full of spunk.

Always makes me chuckle. I just can't imagine anyone actually saying that!

I'm sure you're quite intelligent
a wiz at math and all that shit.....
But I'm, I'm a tad bit more interested in flying your kite 2night!



whew lawd...

'in this bedroom slash church , you know the offering'
cracks me up everytime

That line from Madrid 2 Chicago kinda bothers me. Cuz he's listing things that he's annoyed about like having "bills 2 pay", not having enough time and that his hairdresser is gay. Bills and not enough time I can agree with but why is it so annoying that his hairdresser is gay?

this is funny-where's it from?

i so really love 'a case of u' - such a beautiful & cool song, & serious too, seriously gorgeous, but what cracks me up every time is the way he sings the line 'i live in a box of...
...paints....the way he sings tht is soooo unintentionally funny imo.
it's the pause & the anticipation
like he has 2 brace himself 2 sing tht line. clever lyrics, but dramatic & cheeseball all the same.

Where do I start

"Soda fizzing on the lawn" Glam Slam
"What are you gonna do, you gonna sit there and watch! (Pause) I aint gonna stop until the war is over" Do Me Baby

"Were gonna have to torture you now" Automatic

"Just like animals born 2 bred, got 2 have u baby, ur my only disease, I'm like a fire until you put me out" Damn U

And the funniest, not even in a song but segue
Vanessa Bartholomew "320 eh, don't sweat honey, I'm too young 4 U, Did you know the crown Princess of Cairo is 16 years old. How about this for a scandal, cradle robbed by 320 year old"

Prince (In breathy and campy voice) "Scandal", its so funny and so gay

This unreleased song by Prince always cracks me up.

Work That Fat

Yo, yo - where all the fat girls at?
Get on the dance floor, baby
And let me work that fat (Woo!)

Yeah, let me work that fat
Yeah!

That's how we like 'em - fat and proud
Cuz when they sit down, they sit all around
The whole house - sidewalk and everything else
I'll be damned, baby, if U don't sit on yourself
But that's what I like U 4
(Let me work that fat) {x2}
And take U 2 the crib - I swear 2 God U got stuck in the door
Say U didn't, U know U did
Opened up the ice box, ate everything in the crib
Midnight snack, my ass!
Bought 7 packs of cookies, thinking they would last
I'll be damned, baby ate the wrapper 2!
Then looked at me and said, "Nigga, I'll eat U, 2!"

(Let me work that fat) {x2}
But I guess 4 now that'll do
My baby's fat - I like her like that
I hate a skinny skench talking straight out her hat
About a credit card, and how I need 2 give her mine
I swear 2 God I'll step on that neck every time!
(Let me work that fat)

I'd rather hang out with my boys and cruise Plymouth
Lookin' 4 a fat girl toy so I can make a play
And take her 2 the way
And introduce her 2 my brother Sonny T's bass

Or maybe my guitar
I'll play so loud she'll quickly get her big ass in the car
Get in, shut up, get in!
Push the seat back - U can fit
Then sit on top of the monster, I don't care!
Just shut up, get in!
(Let me work that fat) {x2}
What? What?
Oh! {x3}
U in trouble now!
Mike, turn this shit up!
Aw yeah!

(Let me work that fat) {x2}

Told U U should...
Shut up! Sit down!
Got sho'nuff plenty nerve
(What, what?)
(Let me work that fat) {x2}

Ha ha ha...
Damn, is this where U live?
How many food stamps did U have 2 give 2 get this palace?
Yeah, this is really nice
I betcha my thigh ain't as big as one of these mice
What kind of traps U use?
I know they don't work
Mice take the cheese and say, "D-d-damn, what a jerk!"

U must be nuts - think I'm go'n sleep here
Quiet as it's kept
There's several things 2 fear in this habitat
Let me guess, let me guess
"U like it like that" {x2}
So nobody'll rob ya

Well, as a matter of fact who is this brother?
What's he doing in your bed?
Wake up, brother, 'fore I take this new 9 and tap U on your head!
No no, she's my girl - every last mile
Now I suggest U start explaining
Before I slap that smile in the living room
U got a lotta nerve
Why don't U get your clothes
And introduce your silly ass 2 the curb?
Damn, I shoulda known
Treat a lady wrong, she'll do U the same
Can I use your phone?
I wanna call Mike
Mike, gimme another solo
I'm through with these fat girls

They know they fine
They pop U out every time
Know what, U know what?
If I see your boyfriend outside
I'm go'n hit him with the car
That's right
Oh!
Fat girls
Let me work that fat

Although, a fat woman might not find the lyrics amusing.

i enjoy my food ..but i find this hysterical.
so many funny lines in here, it's hard 2 choose the best!
maybe the one about 'sitting on youself' & wanting 2 eat him 2 afta all the biscuits!
totally brillarious!

It's also funny the way Prince says, "Sit down; shut up!" in this song. I think Prince was in a silly mood when he wrote this jam. He says the lyrics in a Bob George voice, which makes it all the more funnier.

love 2 hear him all manly & masterful
in real life he would dare try this shit on with a real woman - she'd sit on him & snap him in half..
but i think it's fair 2 say these lyrics were intentionally designed 2 split sides!
