This isn't a Prince lyric, but it should suffice for a couple of laughs. Most people here have heard of PM Dawn. They have a song called "Downtown Venus". This stupid girl I know thought he was saying Downtown Penis. My Brain has since nerver recoverd from the contamination and everytime I hear the song now, all I hear is "Downtown Penis". It USED to b 1 of my favorite songs!!! | |

I think the most classic example of a misheard Prince lyric resulted in the naming of a popular pop band from Liverpool called The Lightning Seeds.
Ian Broudie, the lead singer, actually believed Prince was singing the line "thunder drowns out all the lightning seeds"!!! in 'Raspberry Beret', as opposed to "thunder drowns out WHAT the lightning SEES"... "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

It is neighbours (I think) Yeah, it is, but nipples is interesting...think about it! Shake your body till your nipples point up at your face. That's some body-shakin'. In "Mountains," I thought "Africa divided, hijack in the air" was "Afrika Bambaataa hijacked Enya." I'm not fucking joking. By the way, one of the funniest books I've ever read is a book of misheard lyrics called "Excuse me while I kiss this guy," referring of course to Purple Haze. It caught my eye because that's exactly what I used to think he was saying! | |

Well,
When I first heard Objects In The Mirror, I thought he said "so much freaking shit" 
Then I looked at the lyric book and it was "so much we can share" Oh well, the shit one would have been funnier.  | |

Another funny one I've read about is from Jimi Hendrix.
People have thought he was saying "'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy." | |

On "Purple Rain", instead of "I never wanted to be your weekend lover", I thought Prince was saying "Kill your neighbors with the machete...do it!! Do it now!!"...at least that's what my lawyer's gonna say... | |

A few weeks ago I found out that my kids didn't know the words to Christopher Tracy's Parade.
They were sining "Christopher Tracy's Beret" because of the france thing. You know. :rolleyes: I'm through. **************************************************

IstenSzek said: mine is one that I only learned about when I started coming on the org.
the line from "Lovesexy" I had always thought he sang: "You want me to [just] swim in you love sea" where it's actually [as people here have pointed out], "You want me to swivle in your love seat"... Wrong. It IS "..u want me 2 go swimming in your love sea...don't u baby?" Always was, always will b. Ask him. | |

WHEN DOVES CRY- I always thought he sang "Maybe I'm just
like my mother/She's never satisfied" It's really "Maybe your just like my mother/She's never satisfied" Some people still get that wrong, but the lyrics come with the album on CD.  [This message was edited Mon Jul 29 14:14:46 PDT 2002 by Biscuit]  My name is BISCUIT...and I am funky!  | |
