Love this track, but i'm sure this track is called 'Lay IT down' not 'Lay down'

Yes, the song may be called Lay Down but they are most certainly saying "Lay it down."

on the backcover it is saying Laydown. so the track is named laydown, but I agree with u. some places i strongly feel they're singing "Lay It Down" and even "WE need 2 lay it down".

we a in reference to "The World"

I feel this song is a "Dear Mister Man" speach in away.

and Boo is the mister man.

C'mon BOO

the leader BOO need 2 learn from how the Purple Joda leads his "world"

and not the other way araound.

Your speaches are not the once we lisen to... or we don't dance after your tunes... or... we don't ever cear, "We're tired of yall"

I'm just thinking lowd here...sorry

tis dirty little groove for you
let's do it now

come on boo

yeah... or "soon Amero"

Rio de Danaro, Euro and soon Amero

lyrics help please.

I need 2 get back 2 this line we spoke about earlier.

"Rio di Danaro, Euro and soon Amaro" or

"Rio de Dinero, Euro and soon Amaro" (Meaning the same thing)

by this Prince means:

A Big River Of Money, Euro and soon Amero right? or a "Lots of Money" if U like...

A friend I have thinks Prince is singing

"Rio De Janeiro, Euro and soon Amero"

if Prince sings Rio De Janeiro... what does he mean with that line?

My question is really

What does he sing here? and what does it mean?....

Ineed to ad something, that's why I quote myslef.

Prince 1st came out with a Brazilian magazine right? (I'm looking 4 this Magazine btw)

maybe he original intended to attach the new Release 2 this Mag.

Then 20TEN would have 1st been released in Rio De Janeiro, then Europe... and soon America.

I'm just looking for a better/deeper understanding of this song.

mayB I sould just

Lay IT Down (as in SHUT UP) and DANCE

my fave

amazing. wish the whole album was like this. total shame but i bet he'll never play this live

it sounds like it gets cut short, there is no coda. it might be from a session like the 3121 songs not fitting right in lotusflow3r (hopefully a new album in this vein)

great song but track 77.....why did it get put there? CD in my car watching it click on from 9 thru to 77.....bonus/hidden track....come on!! Whats up with just sticking it at the end and calling its....erm....track 10..

Purple yoda....awesome!

Underrated. Oddly made me nostalgic for 90s era Prince. Sonically the most interesting thing on this set.

on the backcover it is saying Laydown. so the track is named laydown, but I agree with u. some places i strongly feel they're singing "Lay It Down" and even "WE need 2 lay it down".

we a in reference to "The World"

No its the hidden track, it doesn't say its name anywhere on the back cover!

You might want to look again. The word Laydown is written in large gray letters underneath the rest of the track list.

Far and away the most interesting track on the album! I enjoy most of the album, but when I got to this, like others he, I was like "What?! Why didn't he do the whole album with this kinda style?".

Me and my co-producer sat down to listen to 20Ten and, whilst we enjoyed most of the cuts, occasionally commenting that it was "classic Prince", NOTHING piqued our ears like Laydown did - we were both just floored and then kinda disappointed that there wasn't more of the same.

Hopefully, it is a sign of an album to come.

I think this was a hidden track because the main album sounds like retro Prince, and the hidden track is a very modern sound.

So he's saying here's a record that will take you back to my 80s albums but I can do modern stuff too.

F'in love this song, although the surgery line isn't one of his best lyrics

I hope this will be the sound of a new album. He sounds so convincing on this track!

Although I love the Sticky Like Glue & Lavaux retro sound too.

Nikkie, score me some good bud.

Yeah, what is that lyric referencing?

The return of Bob George in Purple Yoda...best song in years....same vein & quality than Billy Jack Bitch.....just 1 BIG regret...TOO SHORT!

Lay IT Down (as in SHUT UP) and DANCE

it's pretty obvious that he's saying "rio de janeiro"

my guess is that it's simply:

"rio de janeiro, euro and sunamero"

as in rio, europa and japan (since sunamero is in japan, right?)

just kind of saying it's a global party.

Just do a search online of the 'Amero"...

What does Prince know?

1st time I heard the song I heard the obvious thing (obvious is not normally a word I use refering to Prince) I hear Rio de Janeiro, Euro and soon De Mero... I knew something was wrong with what I heard... De Mero .. that's nothing... right?

The 1st lyrics posted here in this thread gave me "Rio Da Damaro, Euro and ....???" (the person that posted it couldnt figure out the last part either, but still it made more sense 2 me.

I now had 2 Currency values... so I now need 2 look find a 3rd currency name that could fit.

Some1 here at this in this thread gave me Amero. I was was please with that... it fit 2 what I heard (almost) , and it ment something... but I was not comfy with that line still...

it did'nt make any sense in the lyrics.

1001 idea went through my mind... brainstorm

I'm always asking why why why why ... The Curious Child and Prince is the why and mystery)

I'm very please with your answer "Rio De Janeiro, Euro and Sunamero". That's if it is a place in Japan named Sunamero??? did you spell it wrong? Can't find anything on googlemap.

about the meaning... "Global Party"... I was thinking "Global Release" when I had "Rio De Jainero, Euro and soon Amero" so it's almost the same thing.

I NEW something was wrong with BOTH "Rio De Jainero, Euro and soon Amero" and "Rio di Danaro, Euro and soon Amaro"

Please post correct spelling of Sunamero.

is it a MountainCity like Lavaux??

I love the name... SunAmero... wonder what that means in Japanese???... (thinking loud)

Thanks

"Rio De Janeiro, Euro and soon Amero"

I just took it he was just trying to flow with the song and threw in a nonsence word. Not usually Prince's thing, but I think people are way overthinking this

yes, I agree, and that is the mainreason I can't drop It...

throwing in non-sence words is NOT Prince, he would rather make a new word, that probably would bcome slang in some years That's also why I thought it was funny if it was "Rio De Danaro"...

but then again... this might B Musicology 4 the horrid Electromagnetic popheads that's on the Radio that makes yo teeth gnash (ref 2 Compassion)

and then it's not non-sense it it??? then he did it on purpose, right?

I'm sorry I just find it amusing
