I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She just picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
"Aah, aah!" is all I heard

What does this mean

aaaahhhh aaaaahhhhh shit i dropped my phone by accident

it means he called up his (girlfriend/mother) looking for some gentle words of support, but whoever picked up the phone on the other line was a pervert, which caught prince off guard and caused him to drop his telephone headset.

only, like, catchier.

It's about vaginas.

The ahh, ahhh is the result of her clitoris being stimulated or wanting to be stimulated. Prince was absolutely obsessed with vaginas at this point in his career.

^^Cut It Out Imago! ^^

I think that whonever Prince was calling was an having an affair and he caught her when she was "having a good time".

when was he NOT obsessed?

He had phases where is obsession with vaginas was eclipsed by that of dehydrogenated monoxide.

...with another motherfucker.

Years of waiting for a friendly word was 4play leading up 2 the climax of the phone ringing.

maybe prince was working as a telemarketer when he wrote those lyrics and he was recounting one of his job experiences.

He called her up and she was in the middle of doing something

either masterbating or having sex with another man/woman.

don't be so quick to judge - it could be she was choking on a pecan when she answered the phone.

toots said:

I vote for the latter, just because the lyrics sheet says "Sex, sex is all I heard."

Anxiety said:

Umm, Umm I'm gonna let this one slide

I always thought it meant

He called up his girlfriend wanting to talk,
but she was having sex with someone when she picked up the phone,and
then the phone fell on the floor,and all he heard was the sounds of them gettin' it on.

Have you ever had, or heard SEX sounds?

Anxiety said:

Yeah, I know her PECAN!

i always apply soundproofing headphones before i engage in the act, so i can't say that i have.

I think Prince likes to hear the sounds, he always says so in his songs.

Dayclear said:

plus he always used to make those slurpy sounds in his songs, like he was licking his chops or picking his teeth or something. i used to hate that. i know what i was supposed to think he was doing, but you knew he was really gobbling down a taco bell burrito right there in the studio.
