WTF is an organ-grinder?

Well, WTF is one?

Please don't jump down my fuckn throat already, cuz I'm not as totally obsessed as some of u guys and don't know absolutely e'thing 'bout the man and his songs.

Can someone please explain what Violet the Organ Grinder is about.
I AM A GUY, YO G's.

Long story about the pansy username....

Ok, but I'll tell it anyhow -- I hijacked my ex girlfriend's account, way back when she first signed up. Hehe.

She ain't gettin this bitch back now!

Sometimes, people scare me.

Back in the olden days of yore. you would get entertainment in the street consisting of a man playing a barrel organ and his pet monkey in a suit. The man was known as an organ grinder.

People will still say, for instance, "Talk to the organ grinder, not the monkey".

Prince is playing on this when he uses the phrase, as he is referring not to a barrel organ but to his sexual organ, and not to grinding the musical instrument in order to make a tune, but to grinding as in...Le Grind.

See?

a man's penis is refered to as an organ. Violet's hoo-hoo apparently likes to grind on them.

Ever heard of Jimmy Smith? Godfather of the Hammond B-3 organ.

One of his albums was called Organ Grinder Swing.

When you watch Prince's Detroit '86 concert (especially the organ solo's) you can't ignore that mr. Smith was a big influence on Prince.

Go and do your homework.

And sure, Prince wouldn't be Prince if he gave the expression a nasty twist.

Jazzz.

Wow, I must really be old at 32, because I knew what this meant when the song first came out and I was in high school then.
