Say What!?!? Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance I was listing to this on my ipod, at about the 2:21-2:23 mark when Prince sings "in exchange for the finance" i swear he says in the backround "a blow job" now is he really saying that or is just me who's hearing that. Because Ziggy says there's a 99% chance it's just becase i'm a pervert (high five for whom ever get's the ziggy comment)

roflmao, it does sound like it, yes. but i'm sure it's more like
"you did a good job". although, there was a 'pussy' mention in Madrid 2 Chicago wasn't there? perhaps it's just an older song and he didn't clean up on the backingtapes too well, lol. on a sidenote, this song grates on my nerves. i haven't listened to it in two years and searching for the 2:21 time mark reminded me why. can't believe i thought this was a cool track at first..  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

I gotta listen closer. | |

I can't quite make it out; It may say something about 'blow job' but it sounds more like 'to have a real job' or something to me.
There is the lyric of 'pussy' in Madrid 2 Chicago though. Though I am always surprised about people finding dirty lyrics on Prince's post-JW songs - Muse 2 The Pharaoh on TRC has lyrics about using a sex-toy on his woman, for heaven's sake! | |

It does sounds like what you said, but I think it's "get a real job." We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Get a real job | |

I'll have to listen to that again.
BTW, does anyone know what this song is about? "Plaid shorts are completely over." | |

he says "finance" that sounds like "fine ass" | |

Don't you mean Mellow? I know what you're saying though. That song is dirty as hell. Prince talks about wanting to make his woman wet and describes her using a vibrator on herself.  The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Yeah, that's what I meant of course. | |

BTW, does anyone know what this song is about? This song is about a rich woman hiring a gigalo/toy boy. He gives her sex, she pays for everything. This is why to me this song quickly wears thin - it's a pretty ugly story and it's so stripped down musically that it doesn't stand upto repeat plays. | |

Prince seems to have been going for an intentionally retro, garage sound, but that makes the song a little annoying for me if I hear it too often. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I remember when a girlfriend pointed out the P-U-S-S-Y chant in the background of New Position (another great song that does not get enough love on the org!) | |

It's my favorite track on that album. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I had figured that much out metalorange, I should have phrased my question differently. You get a kiss for being so sweet tho. 
What does everyone think it means in relation to Prince? Autobiographical in anyway, or just a story about the f-ed up lives of two made up people. Hmmm...wonder along with me... "Plaid shorts are completely over." | |

I'll wonder along with you. I'm thinking just a made up story. Kind of depressing. But I do like dancing to it. | |

When I first bought Musicology this was my favorite track, but then I got more into the rest of the album annd kinda ignored this one
...I obviously need to give it a fresh listen cause I don't remember any 'blow job' If you will, so will I | |

hmmm. It's "you did a good job" I think.
But I can confirm pretty accurately that on "Jack U Off", he said "I'll Jack U off"  | |

But I can confirm pretty accurately that on "Jack U Off", he said "I'll Jack U off" I always thought he was singing about him being Russian. "I'm Jack Yuovv, Jack Yuovv" Surely he wasn't saying Jack U Off. That would be scandalous! "Plaid shorts are completely over." | |
