Misheard Prince Lyrics, Confess! Which official Prince lyrics have given you a shock once you saw them? Examples of songs you sang wrong in blissful ignorance... was your interpretation better? 
This thread is in response to Brother915's misinterpretation of Hello's lyric as: "we're against hungry children...our BREAKFAST stands tall...there's just as much hungry here at home."  | |

LRC--I used to think he said "you must be a love machine" instead of limousine-thanks Sanci
WDC-I use to think he said "animals like curious roses" or something like that until an 8 year old sung it and made me recognize he said "animals strike curious poses"-thanks Johnny Strange Relationship--I use to think he said "honey if u LET me I might do something rash" instead of "LEFT" me which changes the whole lattitude as if i was drankin a Corona. "Climb in my fur." | |

"Hey, lover, hotter than a sugar cane. I don't want to lose you. Baby, couldn't stand the pain"
...but, of course it's: "Hey, lover. I've got a sugar cane, that I want to lose in you. Baby, can you stand the pain?" | |

Oh shit I forgot that one--when it first came out I thought he was saying "Octapussy"..and it was weird because Roger Moore was on a talk show (Merv Griffin)talking about the then recent For Your Eyes Only and saying that the next Bond was going to be called Octapussy..when I heard Controversy I thought "how odd they make a song about the movie so soon"...DUHHH. But count your pussy is comedy [This message was edited Thu Jul 18 18:36:50 PDT 2002 by rdhull] "Climb in my fur." | |

This is a bad one - in "Head" I thought it was...
"I was no MARTIAL ART I didn't want you to be misled... but I gotta have you baby in my bed" where I think its... "I was so nonchelant (sp) I didn't want you to be misled" but if you listen to HEAD it does sort of sound like - to me anyway!!! there's others as well but I won't go there !!! | |

"Sign O The Times" the Song I thought He said We will Coronate Him if it's a Boy.it was actually we will Call Him Nate if it's a Boy? Let's Go Crazy I thought it was Purple Bandana but it was Purple Banana. mistermaxxx | |

On "Come" (the album version) I thought he said "Don't be surprised if I take the cold beer". Altough I also had a problem with him singing "beer" more like "bear". Took me months to realize what was it he actually said. | |

What about the opening of The Black Album. I still can't work it out completely. Although I know it isn't what I thought it was when I had my dodgy quality vinyl bootleg which was... 'So, u've found me. Good i'm glad. This is Prince in a pool of coolness...'
Pool of coolness? What was I on? Any1 know what it says? ----------

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"... I think there is still some debate as to what he is really saying.Does anyone have the printed lyrics to this part of the song? Also,on the lyric sheet to "Erotic City",it says "We can FUNK until the dawn".But I think we all know what the correct word is...lol... | |

I had a friend who thought "Controversy" was "Count Your Blessings."
Think he'll ever throw that on us in concert??   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

***When I first heard the song "Sign O The Times",I thought he was singing "Sign o the Times,mess with yo' mind,HEARD OF FOLKS WHO MATE?"...lol..
***When I first heard "When Doves Cry",me and some friends sat down and tried to write out the lyrics.We assumed he was saying "And in the MOST TRICHERIOUS POSES,they feel the heat..." (as if "tricherious" was a real word) | |

A mate of mine once sang the intro to Jill Jones' For Love and turned it into;
"Your white SOCKS" Which I thought was funny. Go Darren! | |

I thought 'unless it should rain' from Christopher Tracy's Parade was 'Lesson Should Rain'. I was only nine years old (and Dutch) when I heard that one. Now it's a title of a track of my own. Always works | |

In "PrettyMan"...my friend thought Prince was saying:
If there ever comes a time When it just won't grow (his hair) I'll do like my brother..."Posemo"! Of course he was saying: I'll do like my brother... And BUY some more!...(hair that is) So naively, she asked, "What's his brother's name?...Posemo?...LOL - So...how's everybody doing? | |

A friend of mine back in my school days, thought Prince was saying "Jillie Bellotti" (or something like that) at the opening of "Let's Go Crazy". I asked him if he'd ever been to a wedding before. (He hadn't) -----------------------------------------

An old friend of mine (Dutch and not speaking English very well) used to think that Prince was singing "U must be an imbeciel" instead of "U must be a limousine" when she heared Little Red Corvette... | |
