The Greatest Romance - what's the sold part about??

Silkilove said:

I think it's sort of a cynical way of saying that his romancing tactics are like a "sales pitch" he's making to his woman, and she "bought" it.

Silkilove said:

Yeah I never understood this song either. Expecialy the part where he says "What was the real reason that Adam never left Eve?" Err...I don't know...

kpowers said:

Tell me you're joking

Purple Rain
Computer Blue~well,i get the verses but the whole well "computer blue" part...
Animal Kingdom
3 chain o gold
7
Bambi~i get the verses but not the "bambi" part
Elephants and Flowers~i getthe verses but not the whole "elephants n flowers"
***SO MOSTLY I JUST DONT GET THE TITLE OF SONGS AND THEIR DEEPER MEANINGS

PleasurePrinciple said:

God made everything from Elephants to Flowers. It's not that hard

PleasurePrinciple said:

Bambi was her name ?

PleasurePrinciple said:

True..like what the hell did "Superfunkcalifragisexy" mean?
My guess the opposit of Lovesexy

chaosanddestruction319 said:

Wrong. Prince is referring to the master-slave string of (downmixing) tape machines used in recording studios and elsewhere in music distribution. It's simply saying: I'm never going to sign a recording deal giving away my master recordings anymore.

And maybe he was still vaguely referring to the group sex thing (I believe it's actually about a group of people forming a line, thus forming a "chain").

PleasurePrinciple said:

Wow you took that real personal. Sorry

PleasurePrinciple said:

that song is about prince being a self-righteous, fallacious chump

Krystal666 said:

I think he`s trying to say that despite faults their love is uncondtional, thats why Adam never left Eve
Just my opinion though lol

dearlybeloved said:

May sound corny but its the only to explain it lolol

coolgirlM said:

It's Prince sayin' he's black and he's workin' up a sweat, and the girl in the vid too.

C'mon.

3 Chains o Gold--specifically, what are the chains, and don't say "they are the nucleus..."

Anastesia

Life Can Be So Nice

Muse 2 The Pharoah--What does NATO & slavery have to do with a girlfriend?

Emale--never really studied the lyrics, though, and I like the song. I just never figured it out.

Cindy C--As she said "I can't understand a word."

Its not that i dont understand this song, cos its very self-explanatory, but iv always wondered who "If i was your girlfriend" written about.Or was it written about no-one in particular?
Or maybe im just reading too much into it cos its my second (close to being first) fave prince song ever lol.

NDRU said:

Are you being sarcastic?

luv4all7 said:

Nope (okay Cindy C I was making a joke, though I really don't understand many of the lyrics on my bootlegged copy, and she really did say that, too)

The others I understand generally what they're about but have questions about specific lyrics--particularly 3 Chains. What are the chains? Who is the girl? It seemed like she's maybe a metaphor for his career.

NDRU said:

You got me there, on 3 chains, I dunno, but what don't u understand on Annastesia?

NDRU said:

Is it possible the 3 chains of gold refer to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost?

I keep mentioning this, but I will never understand the bathtub rape scene in Extraloveable. I don't get why he would do that.

LittleRedCorvette said:

hMMMM, somebody post the lyrics.

why wouldnt he rape sum1 in a bathtub i mean it IS PRINCE!
as for songs that i dont understand, 3 Chains O Gold would have 2 b up there, 2 me its just a random operatic story that his made up.
But the father, son & holy spirit could b a plausable theory, i mean nucleus of my soul it does make some sense.
ok this one is a bit silly but Housequake! i mean it simply could b a funky little groove with no meaning, but it could have a random meaning like from over populating areas with houses it could cause a massive earthquake destroying everything? or just about gettin off ur ass and gettin funky! Which it probably is.
But as i said i think a lot of his songs are meaningless like housequake for example, unless it has sum subliminal message if u play it backwards or sumthin hehe.
