Let's get to the bottom of Superfunkycalifragisexy

I've always been baffled as to what is going on in the beginning of Superfunkycalifragisexy. Here are the lyrics that I hear:

If your body needs water
Keep on dancing cause you oughta
Keep the blood flowing down to your feet
Brother Maurice should be around in a minute
With a bucket filled with it - squirrel meat

The blood is real good if you drink it real fast
But the aftertaste just lasts and lasts
If you kiss somebody, you wanna party all night
All right!


I've liked keeping it a mystery but I'd like to see what I'm missing here.

It means Superfunkycalifragisexy

Its a feeling U get....Kinda like Lovesexy
The feeling U get when u fall in love, Not with boy or girl but the god abouve

Ths is my opinion

Its like the dirty version of lovesexy

Everybody on the block say it is the best
The most vital is what they say - more or less
It put my name upon my thigh
It make me dance, it make me cry
And when I touch it, racecars burn rubber in my pants (Oh)

This feeling's so good in every single way
I want it morning, noon and night of every day
And if by chance I cannot have it - I can't say
But with it I know heaven's just a kiss away, kiss away

Sounds right to me.


Don't get me wrong, I'm no heavy drug user by anyone's standards, but I know enough to know that Prince's claims of not having indulged in chemicals back in the day are dubious at best.

The ecstacy theory still doesn't explain these lines to me:

Brother Maurice should be around in a minute
With a bucket filled with it - squirrel meat
(now I assume that this refers to a bucket full of water whereas before I thought this line was unrelated to needing water. But what can "squirrel meat" be referring to?)
The blood is real good if you drink it real fast
But the aftertaste just lasts and lasts
(I still don't get these two)

I Think what M.r Nelson is implying here, is that the relative pros of blood lust squirel eating is balanced or rather outweighed by the cons.. in this instance the spiritual price you will have to pay for said squirel eating..

Hope theres some clever insights like this on P.E. lol

For me its just a song about Prince expressing some of the more perverse and dark elements of his 'psyche', and the humor in which he 'dresses' it give it an extra edge.
