Prince lyrics. We've known them and loved them for years. We jam to them in our cars, our homes and on our MP3 players. But, have you ever been in a real-life discussion with someone and they say something that triggers something from one of his songs to come out of your mouth?

Last night, I was in a supermarket, being rung up. I got some cash back, after paying.

The cashier, all of 19 years old (no offense, Org teens) full of self-importance said to me (as if he'd just saved my life or something):

"It's after 10 p.m. So, I shouldn't have given you cash back. But, because it's just after 10, I'll let you slide this time...."

I took my bags and money and, as I'm walking toward the door, I start mumbling some dialogue from "Movie Star":

"As much money as I spend in this lousy joint??? You need to be slapped!!!"

By the time I'm at the automatic doors of the supermarket, I'm chuckling... Because I haven't listened to "Movie Star" in years...

does this really warrant a thread?

LOL

GO TO HADES BOY!

that or just get hyped on some goofy stuff like my work extension use to be 319

Oh this definitely warrants a thread, but I'd change the title...

"It all comes out in the wash... in time"

"Tourists...89 flowers on their back..."

"Shut up already... DAMN"

"There's Joy in repetition"

There R some others 2.

So, what else should he have given you instead of cash just because it´s after 10 pm ? I don´t get that.


Back to the topic...I bet the lyrics " U gave a dog a place to bone and now Ur ass is all alone" often spring to a lot of men´s mind when they find out they´ve been cheaten on by their girlfriends, or " I pay the rent in this raggedy muthafucka, and all you do is suck up food and heat !" in case they share a place with a not too hot looking girlfriend.

I always pay a lot of attention to the first song I play when I get a new car. (I think it kind of "sets the tone" for the time I'll spend in it.)

Well, in February, the new car I got was same make as my last (since I liked it so much).

And the first song I played in it was..."Joy in Repetition" from the ONA set.

LOL. This happened to me just last night when I watching TV with the family. There was some commercial on, and this guy in it said "Stop the press!" And I'm almost sure, someone else said, "Who is that?!" I automatically thought Batman, and started singing "Stop, the press! Who is that? Vicki Vale. Vicki Vale. I like - BATMAN!"

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

my bf and I say "is everything alright back there?" sometimes, from the "N.P.G." maxi single.


i'm sure there are others, but i can't think of them at the moment.

Ooh, that's hilarious! What was their reaction to your singing?

I do it all the time---especially, "And that says what?" And I actually say it aloud, not just think it. Yes, I'm a huge dork.

There is a commericial out right now that has two sales clerks and the one guy is quoting lines like "Stop the press. Who was that? Vicki Vale." While he's doing that a woman walks up and he stops, kind of embarassed. For the life of me I cannot remember what the commericial is for though...is that the same one you saw?

They just looked at me like I was weird, and asked if I was okay.

DevotedPuppy said:

Um... I think that might be it. I'm not sure, because other than the Batman part, I don't remember much. I think there might of been a guy leaning on a filing cabinet or something...
