I read in DanceMusicSexRomance (Or maybe an Uptown mag or something) that 200 balloons was about condoms. 'Fly with me' | |

Actually it couldn't of been that book because it only talks about the music upto Lovesexy. Maybe it was in the SlaveToTheRhythem book. I can't remember but I did read that somewhere.  | |

"La La" was pretty much a nod to George Clinton's "Atomic Dog". At least that's my theory. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Alledgedly Sheena Easton had a discussion with Prince in which she stated that a song with lyrics "I love you, you love me" could never be a good song.
Prince wrote and recorded La, La, La, He, He, Hee to prove otherwise! Sheena is credited as co-writer of the lyrics. |

"La, La, La, He, He, Hee" was a song he wrote after someone challenged him that he could not write a song with such a silly title. Obviously he could. The full 10 min version is pretty funkin cool. I believe that as well, IstenSzek. And, I believe that it was Sheena Easton who made the challenge...  | |

"200 Balloons" is a title taken from a scene in the first Batman movie which centers around the joker in that parade through Gotham with all the balloons filled with poison gas. Note: I'm not 100% sure, so if some know-it-all fanatic knows better, please don't resort to flaming and spitting vile, just correct me. thanx. I believe that’s correct. I would only add that it's "200 Balloons" because the parade in Batman was in celebration of Gotham's 200th Anniversary. I believe this song was originally submitted for the parade scene, but was later rejected in favor of "Trust". Brendan | |
