Violet the Organ Grinder appreciation



Does anyone love this song and video as much as I do?

I remember getting the Gett Off maxi single and hearing this song. I could not believe how Prince could transform Gett Off into a completely different song. Today, I think I like Violet the Organ Grinder more than Gett Off. I could listen to this song all day! Also,if you haven't seen the video for this song,find it and watch it. Prince is too gorgeous in it love

Violet the Organ Grinder
CHORUS:
I am Violet the Organ Grinder
And I grind all the live long day
I live 4 the organ that I am grinding
I'll die, but I won't go away
Gett Off {repeated throughout song}

CHORUS

Ooh, wait a minute, I think U better trip on this {x2}

I was on my way 2 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
And it now serves as a reminder on the wall
Of U and I, the organ grinder
In the greatest concert of them all

(CHORUS)
I am Violet the Organ Grinder
And I grind all the live long day
I live 4 the organ, I am grinding
I'll die, but I will not go away

Did U know that I still have your stockings?
I keep 'em in a drawer next 2 your brassiere
Come hither, my sweet, lend me your attention,
Come hither, lend my your ear
I do believe my piano was stolen
I do believe that U want me near
Well I can deal with a sucker if he's in your mouth
But I can't deal with insincere
I am the one that lives in your heart
U love me, no matter what U say
Swear U don't miss the organ grinder
Grinding on U every day

I am Violet the Organ Grinder
And I grind all the live long day (Check this out)
Ooh, wait a minute, I think U better trip on this

I took all the pictures U gave me
And I placed them right under my bed
And I pumped and I pumped
'Til the 'gasmer just jumped
From my feet 2 the top of my head, oh boy!

(CHORUS)
I'm Violet the Organ Grinder
And I grind all the live long day
I live 4 the organ, that I'm grinding
I'll die, but I will not go away

Ooh, wait a minute, I think U better trip on this

Like a puppy, I licked your devotion
From your neck, from your eyes, from your ears
When U cried, I became your emotion
And if U ever cry like that again I'll be here

(CHORUS)
Cuz I'm Violet the Organ Grinder
And I grind all the live long day
I live 4 the organ, that I'm grinding
I'll die, but I won't go away
Not even...

(Gangster) {x3}
(Who turned the mother out) {x2}
{repeat phrase}

CHORUS

biggrin I remember the first time I too watched the video and saw that and thought drool

The part that made me giggle was:

Well I can deal with a sucker if he's in your mouth
But I can't deal with insincere


But whoa baby:

I took all the pictures U gave me
And I placed them right under my bed
And I pumped and I pumped
'Til the 'gasmer just jumped
From my feet 2 the top of my head, oh boy!


giggle
pray God bless everyone. NO exceptions. pray

Yup, totally great song. Indeed, I like it better than anything on D&P itself.

one of the highest points of his career. better than get off, better than D&P, better than anything he´s done since. Unreleasable of course, but its a secret for us fans.

greatness.

I don't like it better than Gett Off, but it is a bangin' song.
