My 4 year old likes some Prince songs. Lets go Crazy, Take me with you and Puple Rain are her faves. She is certanly not old enough to interpret anything like the meaning of Cream, and I have listened to that with her around. My best friend and I learned the meaning of masterbation by listening to Darling Nikki. Her mom overheard us saying "I wonder what that means", she said if you can't understand it you shouldn't be listening to it, and then explained it LOL yeah that was a rather uncomfortable conversation. I'm not a human
I am a dove I'm your conscious I am love All I really need is to know that You believe | |

If she likes Cream, I say do it. Here's why... several times Prince has said that he wrote the lyrics to "Cream" while looking in the mirror. Ever since I heard him say this, I read the lyrics totally different than I originally thought (originally the sexual meaning came to mind). Reread these lyrics and imagine him talking about himself rising to the top (his sucess, fame, his talent, etc). Once I saw him say in an interview "Cream rises to the top". I think he might have been referencing the song, but cant remember. Anyway, this all makes sense with the song lyrics, etc. Now, of course P loved to make sexual innuendos in his songs, so I'm sure he figured originally people would take it as a song about sex, but after hearing him say it was written in the mirror (so about himself) and the cream rises to the top thing, this song takes on a whole different interpretation. You could tell her this (which is actually true because he said it himslef) and of course dont refer to the other meaning that it could imply. (JUST DONT SHOW YOUR DAUGHTER THE CREAM VIDEO!)
Read them and imagine him singing this about himself in the mirror and about his talent, his sucess, his drive, not worrying about what others think, his looks, etc.
Lyrics....
This is it Cream (cream rises to the top...and he's kinda creamy in color..haha) You're so good Yes you are Cream Look up in the air, it's your guitar (when he throws his guitar up in the air at the end of performances like he many times did) Do your dance Cream Cream Cream

I could be wrong, but I think maybe she was saying the drum parts on these are pretty good? I could be wrong. Dance On drums are pretty awesome.
By the way, I love that your daughter wants to be the next Shiela E. That's awesome! P would be so proud! [Edited 8/22/16 8:07am] "Put on your boots Alfred...let's go!" | |
