I'm sorry if that's an english proverb or something but I wonder what does this mean? Especially since Madonna robbed that line for Dance 2Nite

Or is it an comnpletely original Prince line???

It's a very common phrase. It means someone who has one specialty and keeps repeating that action over and over again but can't do anything else.

Michael Jackson?

what do you mean?

A musician with unprecedented talent that doesn't dig deep enough to come out on the other side.

I've heard that phrase before, not from a Prince song though.
But I think it means someone who only does one thing, or one move, or just one song, like a 1 hit wonder?
I think!?!?

every1 who posted in this thread,

except me.

i'm just the messenger.

Nope. Definitely not.

And it's definitely something that Prince is not.

There is a Nelly Furtado-song called 'One Trick Pony'. Hear it here:

what, original? Or a one trick pony? I hope you meant the last

It's like how Prince keeps suing people instead of making quality music.

His suing has become his one trick. That's all he can do now.
