There u go... I believe the name of the thread was "The 1999 Album and the White Girl Element". I talked about how prominent Lisa, & J.J. (although she's mixed) were on that album and the situations P placed them in. White girls in a black setting (funk). Nobody was doing that on albums then. Tracks like D.M.S.R, where Lisa screams at the end "Somebody help me...Somebody call the police" and the music to that track is one of the funkiest on the album. ( a black setting) "Lady Cab Driver" another straight funk song, P is laying it to Jill. "Automatic" with Lisa and J.J. moaning and shit. Same thing. P was painting a visual picture sound wise with these tracks (funk) and then placing Lisa and Jill's vocals to contrast with that enviroment. Basically white girls at a black party. "Somebody help me...Somebody call the police".. Nowadays, it's not an issue but back in 82, although I dated white girls, inter-racial dating wasn't hardly as accepted then as now. Or as widespread. So in P's mindset, back when this album came out, was to go against the grain, to shock. Like he's always done. That was my take on one of the elements on that album.

I listened to it again,and more closely,and it sounds like he is saying Fuck you Martian. Okay Prince,if you say so.

That's what I mentioned earlier. When I did a thread on this myself a long time ago, that was part of the topic. Marcia or martian. To me, I hear Marcia. I don't hear the "n" at the end.

Ok, I've listened to it on two different sets of headphones, like 20 times...It sounds like he is saying "Look here Martian, I sincerely..."

I always though it was Marcia cause, well Martian makes no sense at all (unless he originally had a whole space theme concept (i.e. Moonbeam Levels)). It really does sound like he is saying Martian, though.

Sometimes I hear Marsha/Marcia and sometimes I hear Martian.
But why in hell would he say "martian"? that doesn't make a lick of sense. I'm sure it's Marsha/Marcia.
Unless martian is some wierd slang I've never heard before.

WELL, I hear "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" Dammit! (smile)

Martian is slang for Pussy.

Is that right? So if I said to a woman "Look here baby,..I don't want to dance, I don't want to talk..I just want your martian" then she'll KNOW what time it is...Yeah, I'll try that. (smile) "What it is baby... give me some martian!"
