Prince spelling out lyrics - nothing new . . .

I've read on here that a lot of people don't like Prince spelling out B-O-X in "Chocolate Box", saying he's chasing after Fergie or Gwen Stefani or saying that it's just dumb.

Well, Prince has been spelling out lyrics pretty much since the beginning. It's been a while, so we were due:

• Cool: C-O-O-L (Prince wrote and sings backup)
• Automatic: A-U-T-O-matic
• Something In The Water: Y-O-U
• New Position: H-A-P-P-Y
• Sex: S-E-X
• Pheromone: L-is for Lust, O-is for Obsession, V-E is for the Vast way u Envelope my soul
• Welcome 2 The Dawn: K-A-R-M-A
• Chocolate Box: B-O-X

I'm sure there are several more; for some reason I think there's one in the NPGMC track era.

I'm so tired of these people that don't know anything about Prince's music complaining. It seems they're trying to MAKE themselves into fans but they're just asking dumb questions and saying dumb shit. mad

I'm not sure it's so much the spelling out as it is the phrasing in the track that people are finding similarities in. smile

Next word in the spelling bee. SACRIFICE. Can you use it in a sentence please.

Tony M that is correct.

S.A.C.R.I.F.I.C.E.

F.I.N.A.L.L.Y (in G-spot)

"P-U-S-S-Y" in "New Position"

plus the alphabet in "Alphabet Street" and ...wasn't there some alphabet thing in "If the Kid Can't Make You Come" ?

Oh..I almost forgot, didn't he spell out "L O V E" on "When 2 R In Love" ?
