You know what it reminds me of? On the Rave New Years special when he sits @ the tricked out piano & says, "What a fun party." It's just so awkward, like he's trying too hard or doesn't know what else to say. I dunno, just doesn't feel comfortable. Sometimes he's the coolest mf on the planet, & sometimes you just wanna hug him & tell him it's gonna be okay Prince & goofy shit just don't go together

OMG! I liked that too!

His nerdiness is endearing to me. Prince always struck me as a nerdy guy with cool friends (Morris, sheila, etc)

Germany was divided into West-Germany (USA, England, France) and East-Germany (Soviet Union) after WWII. Berlin is in East-Germany, but since it was the capitol the Allies claimed a part of it. So the western part of Berlin belonged to West-Germany. Like an island in East-Germany. In 1961 the Berlin Wall was built to prevent people from reaching West-Berlin and then being able to flee into the west.
What led to it being torn down is a little more complicated (more and more people fled because communism had basically failed) - anyway, it is amazing to see all the people on it destroying it back then and celebrating. After all, they were all one nation anyway.

It's not the line itself I have a problem with. It's just the way it sounds. It makes me cringe. I can't exactly explain why, I just know I don't like it. It isn't really worth psychoanalyzing or anything. I think it has something to do with the fact that it's "wall of Berlin" instead of "Berlin Wall". "Wall of Berlin"? No one says that. It's NEVER referred to that way. And the fact that I know P has much better "going down" similes than that.

That line is all good. Y'all think all literal like "hmm, that wall has been down for years, I wonder why he said that?" lol Yall just dont get the gut bucket funk thats so black its purple. You dont know what youre missing but then again I guess you do or you wouldn't be here. Wait until you hear him do it live; full on. Its so funky its ridiculous.

I was going to do some pisstake comment about loving the song despite the lyrics being 16 years out of date but then realised that The Berlin Wall came down when P was...31

More numerology?

...Then you could get a bit more nebulous and suggest that in track 12 there could be a reference to the Vietnamese "boat people" crisis which peaked in 1979 when he was... 21.

Making a neat pairing with the alleged 31 in track 1.

And suggesting some link to the time period betweeen he was 31 and 21 (which is regarded by many to be his most creative period)

And you could also suggest that I get out more and stop listening to conspiracy theorists. (Unless it's a Fibonacci number... LOL)
