WE Can Funk I've long figured out that "Prince's Candle" was what he called his "Organ Grinder" But I was just listening to "We Can Funk" and realized that near the end of the song he says".....people tell me I got no taste, then blow the candle off lets see if it's true."
WOW!!! "......I gotta' lotta' butta' 2 go" | |

WOW!!! I love it when people finally get the lyrics, its so funny. hes always done that double entendre stuff and always used blowing horns etc and candles as metaphors. Hes actually quite clever! despite what some would have us believe!! ![]() I think one of my fave lines is 'im the big dipper and tonite ur a star!' (forgive me if i missquoted I always do!)

I always interpreted that as him going down on her--like turn off the light and we'll see if I can tell what I'm tasting. | |

A girl has a "candle?" I don't think so. ![]() No, of course not. But I think he's saying, "Blow out the candle. Let's see if it's true," meaning the only light in the room would be extinguished. And now he can prove if he really has any sense of taste. Granted, I'm taking the long way around here. That's just what I had always thought he meant. Plus, I don't like thinking of a dick as a candle. It's just dumb. ![]() | |
