Sure sounds like Superbowl...
I write a check and the bank bounce "Superball" used to be my nickname brotha's saying that the bank bounced so many of his checks, they called him "superball" Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

Where did you get the lyrics?
I always heard: "Superball used 2 be my nickname" Which makes more sense following "bouncing" a check. Especially if it happened alot, earning the nickname. DanceWme said: I looked up the lyrics

Close, but no cigar. It's "Super B-A-L-L", not "SuperBowl" | |

No, no, no,
I listened to it, am very sorry about all the mix-up, but am pretty sure he says "Super-Soft" used to be my nickame... My apologies to all the confusion.... "Plaid shorts are completely over." | |

I think I heard it as bowl too, but ball does make more sense...unless he used to be in the Junior League and had a 300 game.  | |

Anyone who ever bounced a Superball over the garage as a kid wouldn't have any doubts about that line. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
