Glass Cutter

This song is SO funky!! I was just wondering if everyone appreciated it as much as I do?? What other Prince songs are similar??? I'm thinking these would make a great playlist or even entire CD if there were more songs like these...

1. Glass Cutter
2. CyberSingle
3. Feel Better, Feel Good, Feel Wonderful

What else could I add to finish the cd? It would be an AWESOME Prince album!

Rockability

Glass Cutter is an example of Prince at his worst. I would like a musicologist to outline the framework of this work and post it in the RRHOF as what not to do.

Sexy MF got away with it, but really really.. , there only needed to be one for the purple guy. I think with GC, there are now at least 10?? Ouch.

Glasscutter is a horrible Prince song! The fact he would even consider exposing it to fans doesn't say much. This song belongs where it is as a snippet. Painful to the ears.

funny how some people don't like it....but i think those are people who take him so seriously....you can tell this song was written in about an hour and that he was just messing around.....but even when he does that it still ends up being funky....but i can also see why people wouldn't like it....i just like the bass and can do without the soul claps

I just finished a morning run by cooling down with San Jose Jam followed by Glass Cutter. I love both of these tunes. I know opinions vary but I dig it the most.

The lyrics are not sophisticated (to say the least) but the song is jammin!

Somebody mentioned back then that "glass cutter" was a slang term for hard nipples.

This is a story about a One and Only mother,
There never was before, and there'll never be another,
Heck-a motor scooter… so fine U wanna shoot her,
Dressed like butter, hold a Cup-a Glass Cutter

Glass Cutter

Ohhh… yeah!

This is a jam about a purple fantasy
Every man knows this how it's supposed to be
So sharp, make a brother heart go flutter
Dress holding on to a Cup-a Glass Cutter

Mmm…Glass Cutter

Oww
Oww

It’s about as hard as Arabian math
Water drops dripping when you taking a bath
the towel unravel and it looks like gravel
all a brother can do is just laugh… (ugh!)

But under his breath, he gonna mutter,
But under his breath, he gonna mutter,
But under his breath, he gonna mutter…
Baby, got a Cup-a Glass Cutter.

(Clapping)

This about a mother got a brother sprung,
I looked up the word heaven… saw a picture of her tongue,
If she was a song, she'd be sung.

Sit around and I'll be a singer, so I can bring her -
parmesan, cheddar, cheese... please.
U better believe she gets what she wants,
'cause I want just what she got.

I'm a new car, and she's a lot… a whole lot o' woman!

(clapping)

Girl got a case of 2 Fine
She got it bad… and that's good.
I’m gonna tell her 2 her face… (gonna tell her 2 her face)
'cause another brother would…
when a mother make a brother heart go flutter.

Dressed like butter,
Cup-a Glass cutter
Dressed like butter,
Cup-a Glass cutter

U make my heart go flutter,
Cup-a Glass Cutter
U make my heart go flutter...
Glass Cutter.

It sounds like Prince is singing about a woman who is soft and supple. On the outside she is someone who is soft like butter, a sweet and inviting condiment. But when she speaks her words can be sharp magnify so sharp that they can cut glass. Prince's purple fantasy just might be the Truth because it made his heart fallinluv flutter. If he does tell it to her face, instead of waiting for another brother to, we might still hear a sequel. guitar

Wow thanks. I realized I haven't paid attention to the words because I was focusing so much on the groove.

Thanks for bringing this song up.biggrin I pretty much dismissed it as a whole lotta nothing when it first came out.

Just listened to it again.

As melodies go, this song still has nothing. But it's funky as hell!
