"Sexy Dancer": what's it REALLY mean?

CUSTOMARY WARNING: i created this thread out of a mix of curiosity and for the hell of it. any and all jive-assery will result in a cyber-francis l. slap to the dome.

last night i was on the phone with my psychic twin, FunkMistress, and i kinda came up with something in regards to people's takes on various prince songs and whatever meaning lies behind 'em. in all the years i've been on this site, i've seen so many folks attempting to find meaning in every and any lyric that pops up, even if it seems that p did the song for the hell of it and it might not mean anything....like "sexy dancer", f'rinstance. that cut seems like he wrote the mofo out on a napkin or sumfin, then went home and just put music behind it.

obviously, there HAS to be some sorta deep-seated meaning within the song. my question to you, my fellow org brethren: what's the see-cret message in "sd?" give it a little thought....

hmmm

The main purpose of SD is for that superb 12" version, where the funk just slides off the vinyl. Oh, and something about wanting somebody's body. But who??
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

While at a club one night Prince witnessed a very sexy woman
workin it out on the dance floor. He knew that he had to get with her
before the night was up. He walked up behind her,and grabbed her by the waist.
She suddenly stopped dancing, turned around and looked him in the eyes.
They stood there in silence staring at each other and had a spiritual connection
He was suddenly mo hypnotized by her soul than her azz. He blinked and then she was gone.

This song is about P's search for more than just superficial
attraction, but for something deeper. However all he seems to find are
"sexy dancers" Surpressing their true selfs

So he actually wants a girl who can tempt him with sex appeal and hold
him with intellect and a connection with God.






...Thats the best BS I can come up with right now, rolleyes
If you will, so will I
