Gett Off or Violet the Organ Grinder

I don't usually start a thread like this with my own answer to it but while Gett Off is cool,Violet the Organ Grinder is an all time favorite!

like a puppy, I licked your devotion
from your neck, from your eyes, from your ears
when you cried, I became your emotion
& if you ever cry like that again, I'll be here
'cause I am Violet, the Organ Grinder
& I grind
all the livelong day
I live
for the organ I'm grinding
I'll die
but I won't
go away



touched tonk headbang
heart prince 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 prince heart

Violet!


But speaking of Gett Off: what did he mean with
"something about a little box with a mirror and a tongue inside" ?

Sounds like something creepy from a David Lynch movie, not something sexy.

Violet all the way. nod Gett Off's lyrics are more clever, but I think Violet -- both kind of dark and sexy -- has a funkier feel.

TI only discovered Violet The Organ Grinder last year. The video is pretty good, but I like Gett Off.

I was on my way to another room
when an image of u sweetly
appeared in the mirror
perhaps u recall
u and I were neatly
in the middle of a Crystal Ball
that now serves as a reminder
on the wall of u and I the organ grinder
in the greatest concert of them all


Violet the Organ Grinder all the way!

Violet sounds kinda of nasty and funky from the lyrics. Gett Off I hear before. But, Violet just gets to me. I have to go with Violet. oral

Yep, Violet for me too.
Way darker, sexier and angrier.
A real "look what you're missing" song to an ex-love so a little warped (which i like!).

Violet's never done it for me at all. Gett Off isn't one of my favourites, but it's good fun. Violet just sounds like it was cobbled together in a few minutes.

Did U know that I still have U're stockings?
I keep 'em in a drawer next 2 U're brazier

Come hither my sweet, lend me U're attention
Come hither, lend me U're ear

I do believe my piano was stolen
I do believe that U want me near

Well I can deal with a sucka if he's in U're mouth
But I can't deal with insincere.

I am the 1 who lives in U're heart
U love me, no matter what U say

Swear U don't miss the Organ Grinder
Grindin' on you E.V.E.R.Y. Day


See, this is the mothafucka that I LOVE...nasty, funky AND stanky.
Who can deny these lyrics? CLASSIC.
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.
