Speaking of Vanity 6 songs, can anyone tell me what the hell this song is all about? I've been trying to make sense out of it for years!

It's Maths

3 girls with 2 nipples each. simple math

It's Vanity's brain cell tally.

Lyrics to 3 X 2 = 6 :
Let me tell U a story

My favorite band in life is playing town on Wednesday's night
I wish 2 God I had the nerve 2 go
The singer in the band is my type, not 2 big or small
But I hate 2 let my inner feelings show

My made-up name is Vanity cuz a girl's best friend's her pride
And a working girl don't have 2 tolerate the mailman's tricks
Everybody gets 3 years of tribulation unless they lie
But with the female, 3 x 2 = 6

When I'm older, I wanna be a movie star just like Greta Garbo
Well, then I could tell everybody what 2 do
Well, she was so cool, it was plain 2 see that she was in control
I bet she never played the part of anyone's fool

So, my made-up name is Vanity cuz a girl's best friend's her pride
And a working girl don't have 2 tolerate the mailman's tricks
(Oh no, oh no)
Everybody gets 3 years of tribulation unless they lie
But with the female, 3 x 2 = 6

Play your song one time baby girl
I don't think they heard U now, baby

That's all I need 2 say because I think U understand
Unless, of course, in another life U were a man

Please believe me when I tell U a girl's best friend's her pride
A working girl don't have 2 tolerate the mailman's tricks (No she don't)
Everybody gets 3 years of tribulation unless they lie
But with the female, well, 3 x 2 = 6

Won't somebody help me?
Please believe me when I tell U a girl's best friend's her pride
A working girl don't have 2 tolerate the mailman's tricks
Sister, can U hear me?
(Everybody gets 3 years of tribulation unless they lie)
But with the female, (3 x 2 = 6) 3 x 2 = 6

(Sister, can U hear me talkin' 2 ya?)
(Please believe me when I tell U a girl's best friend's her pride)
When I tell ya a girl's best friend's her pride
(A working girl don't have 2 tolerate the mailman's tricks)
(Sister, can U hear me?)
(Everybody gets 3 years of tribulation unless they lie)
But with the female, 3 x 2 = 6

Hearing them sing that song makes me want to poke my eardrums out.

I know what you mean The last few minutes of this song are horrendous.Their vocals were not made for ballads.

Prince should have taken that song out and added 'Vibrator'.

Shit, it is ON as soon as that first synth note holds

right before the drums like

The end is the best part!!!!! Well, to each his own.

Still my fav track on the Vanity 6 album. Love the subtle Prince guitar solo.

"Play your song one time baby doll..."

Love it. One of my top ten P. tracks of all time.

Now I'm going to have to listen to it.

I love it, by the way.
