"Computer Blue" is about online dating? What do you guys think Computer Blue is about? I reckon it is about online dating websites.
"Until I meet the righteous one, computer blue." Means until I meet someone good on the dating website, my computer might as well be blank - the Windows blue screen of death. Could Prince have been thinking of the idea of online dating before anyone else way back in Purple Rain era?? | |

the original working title of the song was "commodore 64 blues", so you're probably right. | |

The man is ahead of his time, but I don't think he can see into the future...but I have thought that too. 'A pillow covered in all our tears' | |

Actually I think it is about the feeling you get when Windows gives up on you and shows the beautiful blue screen... ![]() | |

There's a song by Kraftwerk that came out in 1980 called "Computer World" that is right on target! Talk about being dead on 26 years before the fact. | |

You have to keep in mind that Computer Blue was recorded about twenty-three or so years ago. I don't know how familiar Prince or anyone else for that matter were aware of online dating and/or websites. | |
