regarding the "18 & Over" lyric:

I think he's talking about when you fuck and it's too dry and gritty. WC usually stands for water closet (freaky european term). Wet towel could be a reference to lube or just a wet towel. Maybe Prince and the woman tried fucking, it was too dry and so they cleaned up in the WC and "Took a trip to electricity" - vibrator. My guess and I apologize for being so blatant.

My question - "like Frank and Beverly without Maze". Is this some television reference

Also, what are "trolley cars that juggle seventeen"?

Awesome thread! Let's keep it going.

"The blood taste good if you drink it real fast, but the aftertaste just lasts and lasts..."

Someone please tell me this doesn't mean what I think it does.

Oh, and the Frankie Beverly and Maze lyric: as Universaluv said, they were an R&B act in the 80s/early 90s. Prince saying he's like Frankie Beverly without maze is just another way of saying "I'm incomplete without you."

Now my question, which fans have wondered for years. What the heck is an Accu-Jack??? I can guess, but is it a real thing or just some weird sexual idea Prince came up with?

I've got one! What are y'all's thoughts on the line "Do U dream straight up, or do U dream in W's"?

JediMaster said:

Is that all your gold?
Where did it come from?
What did U have 2 do?
Can U sleep nights?
Do U dream straight up or do U dream in W's?

My take would be restless or sleepless nights based on what a person did for all their gold.

Do you dream straihgt up... sleep straight through the night or, dream in w's... toss and turn with Worry.

Good one! I've wondered if it was also reflective of one of those thingies that measures brainwaves while sleeping (for the life of me, I can't remember what they are called). Normal, peaceful sleep is straight lines, but the bad, restless sleep is in up and down patterns, kinda like a W. Anyway, its slightly different from your take, but ultimately is in line with it.

Are you sure about Alphabet St?

Janfriend said:

What else could it be about? What is "Alphabet St.?" Some imaginary destination?

This whole song is filled with sexual innuendos... "I'm goin' down," "I'm gonna put her in the back seat," "Talk 2 me lover, come and tell me what U taste," "U jerk your body like a horny pony would," and the nastiest part of the song... when Ingrid is very sexily moaning the alphabet.

And is he really going to drive her to Tennessee or ECSTASY?

Now, maybe it's just me, but I hear what sounds like slurping, while she's repeating the letters he's licking at the end of the song.

I'm not the end all lyric transcriber... I'm open to anyone else's interpretation of the song.

I thought it was about taking a "joy" ride in a car, not oral sex

Janfriend said:

Oh, I'm sure being put in the back seat, and being orally pleasured, would be quite the joy ride.

no, I mean actual intercourse

In the song sister:

She don't wear no underwear
She says it only gets in her hair
And it's got a funny way of stoppin' the Jews

What do the Jews have to do with this song?

The song is about Madonna.

It's "stoppin' the Juice"

I still don't get it. What is the deal with the buckets of squirrel meat and who the hell is Brother Maurice?? "Serve it up Frankie"??

TBeatty716 said:

Personally, I've always thought the whole "squirrel meat" thing was an anaology for X. Think about it, the effects of "squirrel meat" are pretty much those of X:

"...if U kiss somebody, U'll wanna party all night..."

"If U drink 2 much U're skin will b sensitive 2 the touch,
first person that touch U, U'll wanna fuck..."

To me, "Superfunkycalifragisexy" is about an X trip. Prince briefly experimented with this drug in 87 and 88 (which culminated in the trip that led him to create Lovesexy).
