Pheromone

Being a huge Prince fan, I am always interested in finding out what each song is about. He always has had some personal reference to every one of the songs he has ever written. Anyways upon listening to and reading the lyrics to Pheromone from the Come album, I would have to say it is extremely screwed up.

I was wondering if anybody body has information to what actual event the song is about.

Thank You

I LOVE Pheromone.
Actually I'm glad I've never seen the video.
The music just goes round & round my head
without any video images to disturb it.

I always felt "Race", "Loose! / Papa" were among his finest videos.

yep.
especially the guitar solos on loose! where he uses his mic instead of a guitar pick. lol
and the snare on pheromone is hyponotising. and the keyboards and sounds in the chorus cool
...just another manic monday...

This song is about vaginas.
If you pay close attention to the lyrics in the song you'll see that it all goes back to vaginas. Shaved, balled, hairy, even nappy, vaginas.
This theme has been very pervasive in Prince's older work.

So is the song "New World"

New World
When the sharpest vibration
Saves u from obliteration
The intelligence of your bed reacts >>>>(wtf does this mean nuts nuts :nuts)
Covering u head 2 toe with an air-filled sack nuts

When u wanna find some isolation
But the tracker u got from vaccination (keeps playin?)
Keeps playin? - "u?ll never walk alone" (over and
over)
They're always listening, especially on the phone

Did u hear about the new pill? it feels like sex!
Guaranteed 2 thrill with no ill side-effects
A pill that will stop the wrinkles, a pill that will stop the
pain
A pill that will make a baby never seek political gain nuts
What's it all 4 when u can alter biology?
Who or what, then my friend, will u and I be?

When the sharpest vibration
Saves u from obliteration
When the melting pot stirs, how u gonna take it?
When u can't tell him from her, how u gonna fake it?

Damn i love that song--- so damn deep--- But apart fr. tthe references to miracle medicine and futility of life in taking drugs that stop it's processes, bow
wall Some of the other things (...sharpest vibration, intelligence of your bed reacts,etc) elude me.
Somebody try and deciper this please.

Anyone else have anything to bring about any other songs?

"Intelligence of your bed" could be a reference to dreams.

This somg is top notch with its subliminal background chant, infectious beat and story telling lyrics that had some visual dislplay on the Beautiful Experience and or Glam Slam Ulysses. Watch closely and you can catch a double of mayte in black standing behind the set.
