Elton John reference

Just saw a clip of "Prettyman", from some television show or something (had to be around 1999 I guess, with Larry on bass).

Prince changed the words in the 2nd verse (I don't remember it exactly, but something like this):

Everywhere I go, people stop and stare
They wanna see me swing this pretty hair
If there ever comes a day that it just won't grow
I'll do like Elton, and buy some mo'


Funny!

lol

Really? I didn't get that, when he said "do like my brother"...

nod

Pretty vague I know, but I always thought he meant 'brother' as in fellow human-being, fellow musician.

I dunno, maybe Prince knows lots of bald men! lol

He changed the line often. On the Septimo performance (which you referred to) he changed it to Elton.
On the TFI Friday performance he changed it to 'Clive Davis'.
Although I'd guess most folks in the TFI audience were like.....Clive who?
hmm

Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater?
