I forgot about...Yeah let me get a fruit cocktail I ain't too hungry,

Not that there's anything wrong with it but I've never heard a man order a fruit cocktail before. I always smile when I hear him say that.

I KNOW!! I can not keep a straight face with out laughing at how he is screaming.. NOOOOO!! It sound's like he tripped and is falling down a well

I just watched one of my Controversy shows again and he said something during "UPTOWN" that had me rollin:


BABY DIDN'Y SAY TOO MUCH, SHE SAID "ARE YOU GAY?"
THEY KINDA TOOK ME BY SUPRISE I DIDN'Y KNOW WHAT TO DO
I JUST LOOKED HER IN HER EYES AND I SAID "NO IS YO MAMA:!


I know Prince was aiming for a laugh there but so what it was still funny.

***the end of "Do Me Baby",where after having his orgasm,he declares that he is "cold" !!


***in "New Position",where he sings "I'll do it to you like a big man should" (at least,that's what I think he's saying,lol)

I don't think anyone has mentioned "Baby Knows," the part where he says "She'll make you feel like your stuff ain't brown." Prince is a prime example of someone who can write the coolest songs as well as some that fall flat on their faces.

oops, I thought is was big too

I think all the "unintentionally" funny stuff Prince has done was intentional. Prince has got a good sense of humour about himself, when it gets down to it.

The lyric that comes to mind is in Something In The Water Does Not Compute:
"Some people say got great legs. Don't know why you make me beg.

Oops!


don't know why I always thought he was saying "big".

my favourite is on the Rave DVD

Baby Knows starts up

"d'yall want another new one?" with a big grin on his face

the collective disappointment of the audience just kills me

"woo"

Ok stop.... Listen to yourself... If you are going to find humor in a Prince song... Please, AT LEAST. get the lyrics right....

First of all it's: I'll do ya, do ya like a GOOD man should
Nothing funny there.

BUT. try this one on for size:
"Like a strawberry, fender jazz, mash potato fuzz tone all over Ur thighs"
WHAT THE HELL?

Sorry bout that.... I should take my own advice once in a while....
So, please read this before you flame me....
Thank U

As cold as her body was...I don't think I could take that loud mouth of hers, at least not without sporting a pair of earmuffs everytime she started talking.

Some belgian artist, well known in erm.....belgium and Holland, called Raymond van het Groenewoud, once said: "There is lots of humor in Prince music". I read that in 1992 i guess, and never thougt about that before....

But with that thought in mind, i started to listen to Prince definitely and he was right, Prince work is full of humor, and i think its often intentionally to lighten things up a bit, or to put an absurd twist to a song:

To name a few moments that show Princes humor (intionally or not), i name:
- The horn parts Eric Leeds plays on Girls and Boys, combined with that silly french accent Prince uses, always puts a smile on my face
- The Whole Black Album, its dark, creepy and funny the same time, Prince shows that he isnt taking things to seriously on this record, but that makes this record even more exciting.... (a lot of the Camille tracks had that same kind of quality, mixing darkness with humor)
- My name is Prince: this is an over the top self-referential Funk song, a Parody on the 'image' of Prince, artist likes James Brown and many rappers do this kind of name-calling all the time, Prince uses it in a way to get rid off the old, WB Prince-image, and take over the Symbol-name (he uses this kind of selfparodying arrogange again on Style from Emancipation)
- At the end of Zannalee you hear Prince say: "get out of my way, you big ass" and you hear Mayte giggle...
- Get Off (the song and the video) are of course creating an 'over the top'-image of Prince as some sexfreak, and he knows it, he just plays around with it a bit, for fun (same goes with the assless pants he wear during an award show, were he performed this song)
- Even on a record that way too serious and demagogic for me lyricwise, The Rainbow children that is, there is one part thats funny and enlightening.. Near he end of The everlasting Now you hear some geezer with a high voice say "Whats wrong with this old squigglehead, he doesnt play his music like he did before" (or something like that..), after that you hear a slapping sound, and the geezer saying 'ouch'....

Clockin' the Jizz
