Miss-heard Lyrics

The reason I am starting this thread is cause I was just listening to "I Love U In Me",and I thought the first line was "She took her dress off,I took a pee" falloff After I stopped laughing,I listened again,and realized that it was peek,the k was just kind of unaudible. So is there any Prince songs that you miss heard the lyrics in?

Had a girlfriend in the early 90's who was convinced that the line "animals strike curious poses" from When Doves Cry, was actually "and the most dricurious poses". She assumed dricurious was an actual word. She asked me what the word meant, I laughed, said I wasn't sure of its exact meaning and handed her a dictionary...
But she was hot, blonde, and had no gag reflex. So all was good in the world... wink

My Bro-in-law thought the lyric was "Touch yer pussy" (controversy) when he was a kid.
"She wore Raspberry Perfume"
"All the pretties love you in New York"

That's alright...yeah, the album has a lryic sheet. Anybody that has the wax, remember the lyrics written over the picture of the lake? The words were written in gold... I always thought it looked kinda scary for some reason..

"Come back Nikky come back" = "Carpet Nikky carpet" (I was 11 boxed )

Controversy = Count your p***y

"Little red corvette, baby you're much too fast" = "Make my way to the rent, baby you're much too fat" boxed
Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity
