I've always loved Dolphin. It's one of those thought provoking songs.

I was just wondering though...

I took a dolphin and seal tour a few days ago, and dolphins naturally follow a power boat because they are sexually attracted to the vibration. Dolphins have sex at least 6 times per day. They are one of the few wild animals who have sex because they enjoy it, not just to pro-create.

I'm just wondering if Prince knows that, and if that's why he chose a "dolphin" to come back as, when he could have chosen any animal in the song.

He also used dolphin sounds in Animal Kingdom, when he could have used any animal.

Clever little guy that Prince. Always little inclusions and references that you have to investigate.


How beautiful do the words have 2 be
Before they conquer every heart?
How will U know if I'm even in the right key
If U make me stop before I start?
CHORUS:
If I came back as a dolphin
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin

Why does my brother have 2 go hungry
When U told him there was food 4 all?
This is the man that stands next 2 the man
That stands 2 catch U when U fall (Oh!)

CHORUS

If I'm under water, will U find me? (Find me {x4})
Will U shine a light and try 2 guide me?
It's happened before, I've knocked on your door
But U wouldn't let me in

How beautiful do the words have 2 be
Before they conquer every heart? (Oh!)

If I came back as a dolphin
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
Come back in the end as a dolphin (Oh)
(I'll come back, baby)
(Let me in, let me in) As a dolphin
(Be my friend) Dolphin
(Yeah, yeah)

Dolphin
As a dolphin
As a dolphin
As a dolphin

Dohh!! Thanks Dayclear.

Olivia Newton John loves Dolphin's too...Do U think she has sex 6 times per day? Maybe we should hook him and her up. I love dolphins but I'm certainly not having sex that many times per day.

Girl you love him sooo much...if he told u to kiss the pillow 6 times today, guess what?...

Dolphins r beautiful, and very intelligent, I want to be a mermaid

Wasn't it inspired by a book?
I seem to recall that being somewhere in the liner notes for 'Gold.'
