Yes' i understan averything in my language.

¡Cabron! Es una broma, no? Una vez en Peru estuve hablando de una playera y la gente no me entendieron por que en Peru se le llama una polo. Siempre hay pequenas differencias. Pero me gustan tus contribuciones por que puedo practicar mi Español un poco!

A mí no se me contradice, obviamente depende del país, hay muchas palabras que tiene un significado diferente. Te marqué en negritas tus errores, ¡ay! estos holandeses cabrones.

I always thought was: Your mother used to say I was just your lover But I guess that only applies to her As in, he banged both mother and daughter. And then with somebody thinking it was syphilis... Damn, the song gets a whole different meaning now!

Damn, you are a nasty boy ahaha

That IS what he says! Also makes more sense in the context of the song. Since the person in the song I assumed was a male.

Alright, you hilarious fuckers!

I've listened some more, and I can hear "senseless" just as much as I can hear "syphilis"... I guess it all just depends on what you're expecting to hear. Given that I've been hearing "syphilis" for over thirty years, I'd like to propose that it's a better lyric than "senseless", even if it might not be what Prince wrote:

1. The father gives his prognosis: Pneumonia
2. The mother gives hers: Stress
3. Prince gives his: Syphilis

When things come in threes like this, the third one is usually correct. And it's especially heartbreaking because the mother and father didn't actually know what killed their daughter - only Prince did, because she was closer to him than to them... which makes their separation all the more tragic.

So bash away, Orgers! But even if it's what he wrote, "senseless" is just... senseless.

Sorry, but I'm not convinced because you're leaving out an important part: "the doctor said you were dead and now I say it's senseless" Meaning: who cares what the cause of death is. She's gone and that's all that matters.

He doesn't care about the cause of death, because it's all the same in the end. It's "senseless".

Syphilis!!!???

Prince spent another lonely christmas due to syphilis.....bahahahahahaha!!! Now that's funny! (funny thread is funny)

Yep, and it would be the only reason for me to listen to this terrible song again.

No sorry. I think it's one of the few truly awful Prince songs of the eighties.
The emotions are completely phoney to me.

It all makes sense now. If she died of syphilis then it suggests he has it too. No wonder he spent the last 7 xmases alone... No one would touch him with a barge pole.

I guess you had to be there (the 80s) to appreciate it.

This song is/was an absolute gem.

But i can appreciate the fact that you might think that its tacky.

A lot of his older songs, although great at the time, now might sound silly to the younger crowd. But FMD, to us/those who heard these when they were first released, song like these are priceless.

Hate the edit version of this though. It KILLS the mood of the entire song.

I can only find the live version: much better singing and not such a cluttered sound, with all that reverb/echo. And a nice restrained guitar solo at the end.

Yes, now that you say it, you are probably right; it's a little too much for me.
