From his cataloge of work including Proteges what songs make reference to gay lesbian or gender 'confused' gender 'roleplay' gender'bending' situations?
This is not about questioning Prince or any protege's sexuality
This is just about same sex situations, which happen in life all the time
_____

I start out with Suzy by Mazarati
(I love that 80's pop rock sound of this song) definately the Minneaplis sound
This would have been an interesting video


Suzy,are u the girl 4 me
R u what U pretend 2 be
Suzy they say that your a man
Suzy I don't understand

Girl your voice is real sexy, but it sound just like a man 2 me

Her grip was strong when she took me by the hand
your voice is deep I just don't understand
Suzy I must have made a mistake
Suzy no girl I'm straight

Girl your voice is real sexy, but it sounds just like a man 2 me

I always thought that was supposed to be a woman, since it's the same voice as Jimmy's girlfriend in 'If A Girl Answers...'

I always had a double take on that one

either sexual or just wanting a friend

Have U ever been so lonely
That U felt like U were the only one in this world?
Have U ever wanted 2 play with someone so much
U'd take any one boy or girl?

NouveauDance said:

Bingo.
He's not playing gay, he's playing the part of a woman.
Just like on the first Vanity 6 album.

"Movie Star" comes to mind.


Check me out
I just walk in, don't even find a seat
Just threw my coat right on the floor
Grab somebody 4 a quick dance
Boy or girl - it don't
matter no more, I'm hot!

Bartender, on the house
Give everybody in here somethin'
Man, I don't care
I got money 2 spare, U're cute
and your music's thumpin'

Very important topic




I tried to address this in my Prince, Anal Stimulation,... digestion thread and various other "Prince,Anal stimulation...." threads. But it seems to fall on deaf ears.

Prince is always using double meaning in his songs that allow for the inference of a homosexual/bi-sexual theme.


If I gave you Diamonds or Pearls, Would U B a happy Boy or a girl....
He could have just as easily left the boy part out. Even though
the love he's offering isn't of a sexual nature, Prince knows the
word play game he's doing here

Bambi, Can't U understand. Bambi, it's better with a man.
Again, the ambiguity makes you wonder if he's speaking from
experience. He could have easily rephrased it "It's better
with this man."


I just hate 2 C and erection go to waste....
he follows it up with "I'm just rock hard in a funky place...
but he could have easily stated "I just hate to see my erection
go to waste. He leaves an ambiguous interpretation wide open
in the lyric, and he's doing it on purpose. Prince is too clever
not to know what he's doing.


Maceo, can you blow
ok, I'm just kidding here, but still...

BorisFishpaw said:

I'm going to listen to If A Girl Answers again
the way he is speaking in Vibrator is too much like a 'queen'
He could have easily had another woman play that part, especially with his falsetto, Vibrator was not a falsetto at all

Hi Ialways thought Anna Stesia was neither a man or a woman
but a play on the word Anestesia which means total or partial loss of physical sensation Inthe song,Prince becomes so numb from doing hallucinogens he sees gregory ghost and sees stuff and inthe end he is out ofhis mind and he calls upon jesus to save him:)

acjohns said:

I still don't have what it all means

I didn't think it was about drugs, Not saying it had nothing to do with it
But definately loneliness

I always thought this scene was there ... from Purple Music



It's time 4 your morning bath, sir
What would U like 2 bathe in this morning?
With all due respect sir, I think that it ..
I think that it might ..
Oh, oh no
I don't want 2 play anymore

Purple music does things 2 my brain and I'm high
Step on it
That's right
Drive, U idiot
Faster, faster!

Strawberry Love kinda implies it too in the reference to the three-way.

My brother here, he likes you
But I like you more
You want us both? Yes?
Then shut the door

Or maybe it was just how I imagined that three-way playing out that gave it a bi twist.

Hes playing with you all.
and from controversy


I just can't believe all the things people say

Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay?

Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me? Yeah


and with a hint of sarcasm the yeah at the end

Uptown, is classic

"What's up little girl?"
"I ain't got time to play."
Baby didn't say too much
She said, "Are you gay?"
Kinda took me by suprise
I didn't know what to do
I just looked her in her eyes
And I said, "No, are u?"

All of If I was Your Girlfriend

Willing and Able

There's some kings in my deck and a queen or 2
So u know there ain't nothin',
Nothin' that I wouldn't do (Nothin' that I wouldn't do)

What are u trying to say exactly? i ask so that i don't insult u unncessarily if u don't deserve it!

ReginaCarman said:

You want to get slapped don't you?

.Anastasia
It was late, nothing great
no way to differentiate
I took a chance.

Maybe, maybe you can help me to love the RIGHT way. THINK ABOUT IT

ReginaCarman said:

who are you talking to? and what are you asking about?

The Rap in Push has the line

"I'm good 2 cream every boy and girl, and I'm pumpin em, pump pump pumpin em from Pakistan 2 Poland, straight in2 ur town, stealing up kiddies like a circus clown"

The first part is bisexual gratification, the second part hes trying to be (...Michael Jackson)

Suzy was not written by Prince but an independent Mazarati song and I think Brownmark was gay anyway wasn't he?

Huggiebear said:

a lot of the Mazarati songs were written by Mazarati & BrownMark
I don't think Brown Mark is gay

I can be your boy or girl i can be your toy..(we can Funk)
Have you ever been soo lonely that you wanted 2 play with someone soo much youd take anyone boy or girl?~ (Anastesia)

SCARLETTPUZY said:

Prince speaks through his music..listen. I sometimes have to reward because he sometimes say some off the wall shit especially in the being of "Uptown"

OldFriends4Sale said:

I always took him in "Vibrator" playin queen.
Nothin about that sounds like it would be a woman to me.

Dayclear said:

Those lines are about the Black Album.

Though they probably weren't intended as such I always thought the opening lines from "I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore" could be interpreted as if she had a female lover.

I could tell from the moment U walked in the room
That it wasn't your dress U had on
That wasn't your perfume
