You know, I thought everyone knew that or what he was talking about with the term "poom poom". Is this really news to people? Interesting.

good question; thing is, how many people are familiar with Jamaican terminology? Prince was definitely naughty in his choice of this song name though; it was as blunt as calling a song "Pussy."

I think we all know the song is about the honey pot, and more to the point - Prince jacking off while imagining his favorite happy hatchet wound. But, many probably didn't know the Jamaican term.

So y'all still on the Poom Poom?
Okay. Let me tell y'all the real story 'bout that.

Once upon a time not too long ago, Prince went to Jamaica
to go visit his friend, Larry, 'cos y'all know Larry lived
in Jamaica for about 20 years, right. Well, maybe less,
but long, long time.

So anyway, when Prince was there, one day he was seated on
Larry's verandah, okay -- that's the same as patio, deck, okay --
feeling irie, chilling, enjoying the cool breeze, listening to
some Bob Marley, and enjoying some coconut water, when lo and
behold, I don't know, I guess he felt some real good vibes,
because as he brought his head up from out of the coconut, he
spotted this little cutie with a mad sexy booty and some Tina
Turner legs walking by smiling at him.
I heard something strange happened to him that day. Word is
reserved Prince dropped the coconut and almost broke his neck
jumping over the verandah railing to go run after her. Word is
when he caught up with her, he still had bits of coconut in
his mouth, and all he could say was "What's your name?" She
couldn't answer, she was too stunned, and on top of that, she
was kinda shy. Plus, she had spotted him before, the cute
American boy with the baby face, and she liked him a whole lot.
She was totally blown away that he would come to talk to her.
Word is she lost her voice, couldn't speak, just smiled timidly,
and then the poor chile just took off running down the hill,
saying not a single word.

I heard from reliable sources that for the next 7 days of Prince's
visit, he slept on the verandah, he ate on the verandah, the poor
boy would not leave the verandah. He just kept on staring down
the hill waiting for her to reappear. He didn't see her, though I
heard she was hiding in the bushes at times looking at him.

So he came back home, still couldn't get her out of his head,
and hence he wrote the song. And every time since then that he
has visited Jamaica, he still goes and sits on that verandah
staring down the hill looking for her.

And so that's how the song, Poom Poom, came to be
