" every nickle in this club looking for a dime, nothing less, nothing more " - line. Is this is an existing english expression or one of those clever Prince one-liners?I tried searching the net but couldn';t come up with anything.... At one time the popular U.S. price for jukeboxes was a dime. Same with the phone. Those days have long since died, as have unfortunately most jukeboxes. Prince -- or any of the listeners -- are on the floor desperately looking for another spare nickel to couple with the one that they already possess. A lack of funds should never kill a groove. 
"I love rock n' roll / So put another dime in the jukebox, baby / I love rock n' roll / So come an' take your time an' dance with me." -- Joan Jett The price was also raised long before Joan's day, but people get nostalgic for music played in this format. | |

I don't know, but possibly ugly folks looking to hook up with beautiful ones? Or perhaps two nickles makes a dime, so the dime would be two people getting together, ie sex?

I can NOT stop playing this song. Is this the one that P sampled the Beatles. If not who cares I love the guitar in this. It's like a funky ole time beach song. "I don't make the rules. I just play" | |

Same goes for my post. If you don't like it roll on down to the next one.

This song is fun, and makes me giggle - 'cause I keep picturing a video of Prince with a mullet, wearing a lumberjack shirt and cruising in a dusty pickup.
Still, I like it. He should get some smarts and release this... get people back on the dance floor. And the lyrics? I dunno... I think "you're just as pretty as you can be" could be his most charmingly uncomplicated 'poor boy' lyric since Raspberry Beret... |
