"prince" has no pronouncible name.


That is just not true! mad

In the song Now, prince himself says: "Don't worry about my name, it's too long 2 remember
I could tell U now but we'd B here 'til next September
3, it B like that, C?"

tease




























But prince was probably just joking. neutral

Although I'm sure it has a metaphorical meaning. nod

Without a doubt meaning something obvious like "let's make it dificult for Warner Brothers - how can they market and make money off a name they can't pronounce?". biggrin

Oh, and initially, I personally went with the "shhh-dink!", too. lol

Then I started to just say "the artist". neutral

That line in NOW was referring to people calling him "the artist formerly known as prince". He was having a joke ay how ridiculously long his name had become in the media.
