"Had U" and the WB Prince Catalog... I was listening to Had U earlier and decided to study the rather slim lyrics to this track. Given his very first track was "For You" and his very last track for WB was "Had U", the idea popped into my head that perhaps each line applied to an album released through WB, so I tried matching them up... some of the hits seem spot on, and I bolded them, while others don't seem to have any real bearing. Anyway, I was bored. What are your thoughts?
Missed U = For You Called U = Prince Found U = Dirty Mind Begged U = Controversy Convinced U = 1999 Saw U = Purple Rain, Purple Rain Movie Held U = Around The World In A Day Kissed U = Parade, featuring Kiss of course Fondled U = Sign O' The Times Tempt U = The Black Album Undress U = LoveSexy, w/the undressed cover Smelled U = Batman Wanted U = Graffiti Bridge Asked U = Diamonds & Pearls Thanked U = 
Minded U = The Hits Hurt U = Come Disappoint U = The Gold Experience Fuck U = Chaos & Disorder Had U |

 Interesting.
U're bored... but this is definitely more interesting than a "Is Prince better that _____" thread  | |

At least it's directly related to the music itself, aye?  |

I am more interested in that U put that together. U do seem to be onto something although I don't know what. By the way Smelled U=Batman ? I don't know what to make of that one. But thanks for the input, interesting. | |

Yeah, some of them are odd, like that one. I was trying to think if there were any scent or sniffing references on the album. 
Others you could sort of stretch and get them to fit. Missed U = For You, Missed the mark, didn't have a hit. Found u = Dirty Mind, found his own sound and loyal following here |

The song is simply about burnin' an old flame.  | |

"This town needs an enema!" If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I think Fuck u for Chaos and Disorder is spot on. That CD was a big FU to Warner Brothers to get out of his contract. Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. | |
