The "Pope" is Full of Lies

"Who's the funky drummer with the crooked little sticks (Sticks)
He might have better luck if he was drummin' with his dick (Dick?)
If u don't play the piccolo, why u wanna lick?
(Ch-check) Now check the drum solo and tell me not to kick it"

Why does Prince lie to us? I know drum solos, drum solos are friends of mine and "Pope", you sir, have no drum solo. Seriously, this has always bugged me. He knows what they are--Sheila E. used to do 'em. hrmph

Thank you, Senator Bentsen! It's still a fat track, though. The beat is slammin'!!!

THe drum solo was not kicked on the song as P states
"now check the drum solo and tell me NOT to kick it", therefore
it was not kicked. The Pope does not lie as lies do not lie within
a song or holy man such as he.

First, the Pope doesn't speak out against the Nazis. Then, he offers you drum solos and you get nothing. I see how it is.

giggle I love the song and dig Prince's rapping, but I don't understand why he would rather be the pope. Yes, the pope is the one closest to God, but that's if you're a Catholic and Prince wasn't one. The pope has plenty of faults (even though the new one seems to be quite good)...

True... But he would still rather be the pope than the president.... I suppose he coulda said "You can be the president, id rather be L. Ron Hubbard", but it doesnt seem to flow so well.

No, that's true... What about "You can be the president, I'd rather have a brain"?.. (would be a good song these days...)

And ride in a Pope-mobile. Air Force One? Whateva. The Pope-mobile is dope. biggrin

The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

Right, "CHECK the drum solo," like "Check that attitude, mister!"

I could care less what you think of me. It's pretty obvious that I was writing with my tongue-in-cheek. If you don't have a sense of humor, just leave me alone.

What's the difference? Either way, the song sucks.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
