From Controversy..."TOURISTS...89 flowers on their back, inventors of the Accu Jack. There all a bunch of double drags, who teach their kids that Love is bad
Half of the staff of their brain is on vacation..."

What is it about tourists that offended Prince so?

T>>his one's for Yosemite Sam and the tourists at Disneyland...

omg Gimme yo Controvery poster.[/quote]

I bet you are really enjoying yourself hearing the "Controversy" album for the first time. I definately remember the old days hearing something new for the first time from "The Old Prince". There's no better listening experience.

i so am enjoying it, there are some songs that kinda tap a nerve and i cant listen 2 (ronnie talk 2 russia) but all in all i love it dearly

Y does Ronnie talk 2 Russia tap a nerve? R U a reaganite?

But U know that he would, just like w/ DMSR, as he does it live now, which would COMPLETELY take away from the song's edginess, and appeal.


>>If there´s one song he should revisit again for an officaila recording, then it´s this gem. He doesn´t even have to censor the lyrical content.
This song is so amazing.

Something in The Water is great too. It's got that New Wave sound that I love. And you know how much I love New Wave. wink

There's this new Alternative Rock band called The Fever, and they must've had this song in mind when composing most of their tracks.
NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE.

Oh, well I didn't like it either. I thought it was a weak attempt on his part to foray into the political. It is by far the weakest track on what was otherwise a superb album.

the other part that confuses me is when he says 'bitch, you think youre special'. does he drop the microphone at that time or knock it?


On which song does he say, 'bitch, you think youre special'?

he says this on "something in the water does not compute"

i love both of these songs but out of the two, I love something in the water. Something about how the song starts off and those lusty screams he does near the end of the song just before he says "bitch you think you're special?".
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.
