It was hard as hell trying to find out waht the hey to call Prin. Michael and Prince are percieved as weird but he took it overr the top when he made is name unspeakable.

I've gotten so used to calling him The Artist. Well in 1992 before his name scenario he used the symbol on his album. It was the name of the album. And I was wondering what to call it. If you look on the side of the wrapper where the tittle is the store had names it Symbol. But then it got more off the wall when my out of this world uncle thought the album tittle was Parental Advisory.

I'm just glad he's Prince again. Odd cause he'd said "The Prince character" had died and now he was a new person. Well I guess you can ressurect.

It's something like....

Ssssshhhhhchungggghhh!!

As in "The new album by.... Sssssshhhhhchungggghhh!!! "


edit: seriously tho, i've seen that album called "Love Symbol," "Androgyny," and "The Opera" -- tho i know it doesn't go by any of these. and the first time i heard Prince called The Artist was after the media kept refering to him as TAFKAP, and then his fans shortened it to The Artist... then Prince started making reference to "the rtist... we r all the rtist."

I think the only time that album was called Love Symbol was when the 45 single of Peach was released in Germany . My single had a song from that album on it, I guess it was My Name Is Prince, and it clearly says taken from the album Love Symbol.

Rosie Odonell called him TAFKAP. I said they labeled Symbom not Love Symbol.

Do you guys remember before the 'Love Symbol' album came out,there was speculation that Prince would eventually tell us what the symbol means,and how to pronounce it? Apparently,in one of the music videos,he was supposed to finally reveal how to pronounce it.Many fans thought the symbol meant "Victor".

You Pronounce like this...

"Rooooobababab Ooooowa Boodinky"



My soul told me.

It was the Love Peace sign.
BTW, what's with VIctor?

DavidEye said:

the idea was u could take the letters in the name "victor" and place them "inside" of the symbol....
i like 2 call the symbol.....NED.

bountyhunterseven2000 said:

so,I guess "Victor" is the correct pronounciation of that symbol?

bountyhunterseven2000 said:

Can you imagine seeing Prince and saying "Hi, Ned"

DavidEye said:

prince had said in many interviews (oprah for one) that there was no pronounciation 4 it...and if he ever heard a sound, he would tell us...but remember, kids, this was all during the WB fiassco...b 4 he went back 2 PRINCE so, maybe it doesnt need 2 b pronounced...kinda like asking "how do u pronounce the nike symbol?? the name is "swoosh, but can u pronounce it?" no need, its a SYMBOL and so, let it represent what it SYMBOL-izes.....prince!!

I liked Ned.

BTW, what's with VIctor?[/quote]
when prince started using the symbol, there was alot of speculation on WHAT it ment and how 2 pronounce it....this was from the "The Sacrifice of Victor" song...last few lines....
Lord I might get tired,
but I, I've got 2 keep on (we sacrifice)
Walkin' down this road, (we sacrifice)
Keep on walkin' down this road (joy around the corner)
When I reach my destination (we sacrifice)
My name will be Victor

Amen

people thought he would change his name 2 victor by that "clue' and others mentioned previously.

luv4u said:

Uh huh, It's pronounced P*R*I*N*C*E, at least that's the way I've always pronounced it.

It's pronounced PAT(from Saturday Night Live)

Raine said:

I always thought = AOWAH!

It's pronounced C-O-W

It is meant to represent the superiority of cowkind over humans. The symbol was showing Prince's desire to be considered part cow, part human. He gave up the task in 2000 when he decided it was too hard and did not have the ability to emulate the bovine superior.

Listen to "Cream". The hints are there. You need only to listen with your non-floppy ears.

Your Cow-ese is attrocious. Not only did you misquote me but you had several syntax errors. Go to your human Barnes and Noble and buy a book on the Cow language if you wish to quote me.
