Art Official Age - Artificial Age? When you listen to the song "Art Official Age" or simply say the words - doesn't it sound like "Artificial Age" to you? Maybe I'm a bit slow on finding this out - but today I just noticed!
It's like the song "Elixer", it sounds like Prince and Valentine are singing "He licks her..." | |

Prince always liked a bit of wordplay. Annie Christian and Anna Stesia are the first two that come to mind. | |

Yes, it's an intentional play on words. |

Oh god..... I just realized Annie Christian = Anti Christ. And he even says it right after. I always thought he was just saying Annie Christ. [Edited 8/6/17 6:59am] U fall in love 2 fast and hate 2 soon

Prince was quite the clever fella when it came to words/word play. He seemed to enjoy double entendre's aa well  It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

Yep, the "Hi yo Silver, it's the Bone Ranger" line in 18 & Over is worthy of Oscar Wilde...

International Lover is full of them - extinguish all clothing and observe the no letting go sign, we are making our final approach to satisfaction, etc. It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

Didn't De La Soul do this 1 first? For all time I am with you, you are with me. | |

I doubt they were the first to come up with that play on words, but they had an album out around 2000 called Art Official Intelligence. | |

Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

The live version played at the 2009 jazz festival? Definitely sounds like hes saying "he licks her"  I will take my place, In the great below | |

That's was Prince for you. Now i've gotta go back and check out my whole prince music collection to see what else he snuck by me. [Edited 8/7/17 8:31am] | |

AOA: Yes, that was on purpose
"Elixer": P very clearly sings "yes he does" in the song... so, yes. They're saying.. Elixer Elixer He licks her
Thus the misspelling of the word "Elixir" | |

Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump
Art Official Intelligence: BIonix
2 of their best later era albums, too |

. Sex Shooter is another one (like a "six shooter" gun, "shooting off in your direction".)
He obviously had a whole lot of these and he was fascinated by language. Not surprising for such a poet like songwriter.
