I have a question in need of an answer.
In the song sexuality from the album prince ,there is this line: Tourists ,89 flowers on their back inventors of the acu-jack.
Question: What is being meant with the 89 flowers.
Can anyone explain this to me?

He's talking about the stereotypical tourist who is wearing a shirt with flowers all over it...like a Hawaiian shirt.

FYI ... Sexuality is from the album Controversy, not Prince

Can somebody print out all the lyrics to that song? I've always wondered exactly what he was saying.

Sexuality

Stand up everybody, this is your life
Let me take u to another world, let me take u tonight
U don't need no money, u don't need no clothes
The Second Coming, anything goes
Sexuality is all u'll ever need
Sexuality -- let your body be free

C'mon everybody, yeah, this is your life
I'm talking about a revolution we gotta organize
We don't need no segregation, we don't need no race
New age revelation, I think we got a case

I'm OK as long as u are here with me
Sexuality is all we ever need

Reproduction of a new breed -- Leaders, Stand Up, Organize
Reproduction of a new breed -- Leaders, Stand Up, Organize
Reproduction of a new breed -- Leaders, Stand Up, Organize
Everybody...
Reproduction of a new breed -- Leaders, Stand Up, Organize
One time say...
Reproduction of a new breed -- Leaders, Stand Up, Organize
Reproduction of a new breed -- Leaders, Stand Up, Organize

We live in a world overrun by tourists
Tourists -- 89 flowers on their back...inventors of the Accu-jack
They look at life through a pocket camera... What? No flash again?
They're all a bunch of double drags who teach their kids that Love is bad
Half of the staff of their brain is on vacation
Mama, are u listening?
We need a new breed -- Leaders, Stand Up, Organize
Don't let your children watch television until they know how to read
Or else all they'll know how to do is cuss, fight and breed
No child is bad from the beginning... they only imitate their atmosphere
If they're in the company of tourists, alcohol and US history
What's to be expected is 3 minus 3... absolutely nothing

Stand Up, Organize
We need a new breed...Leaders, Stand Up, Organize
I wanna be in the new breed, Stand up, Organize
Sexuality is all I'll ever need
Sexuality, I'm gonna let my body be free
Sexuality is all I'll ever need
Sexuality, I'm gonna let my body be free
Sexuality

To find out ... search against 'accu-jack' at www.google.com leads to pages such as:

http://www.slm-net.com/si...overt.html

... a male masturbation device, sometimes used for artificial insemination process.

"There was once a male masturbation device called the Accu-Jack, which apparently didn't work too well. Then came the RoboSuck..."

LMAO!!! So Prince was mad because his Accu-Jack didn't work!!!

I'm glad you asked though, because I'd always wondered this too ... and your question only prompted me to search. I'd always thought he'd made the word up.

Now i finally understand those 89 flowers. Could have guessed it but never thought about that. Funny.
Thanks for the info. And yes stupid i mentioned the prince album instead of controversy. I already knew about the accu-jack but not about the roboSuck.

For friends and myself i made a compilation of his earlier work with the title prince sexuality 78-82 ,taken of his first 5 albums.I think i already did mention the tracklist at a certain time but i will give it again. Some friends of me really liked this gift i gave them and really enjoy it. Won me some princefans.

1 for you
2 soft & wet
3 i wanna be your lover
4 sexy dancer
5 when we're dancin'close and slow
6 dirty mind
7 party up
8 sexuality
9 do me baby
10 1999
11 little red corvette
12 delirious
13 let's pretend we're married
14 lady cab driver
15 all the critics love you in NY

77.51 minutes damn funky. Close to new age ?!
Easy to fix and it fits.A nice compilation i think. It is this cd i currently play the most for a while now. And me not alone.
