Oh, wait... It's BERMUDA!

I haven't read everything but this is some really cool stuff. Thanks for making the time to do all of this scififilmnerd.

Nice article.

I'm surprsied that there was no mention that "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" was written 4 Prince's Mother.

why instead of trying to appear as one in the know don't u just say that tika nelson on her facebook page wrote that the most beautiful girl in the world was dedicated to prince's mother? is it so difficult?

Marco81 said:

Just curious.....wtf do u think she got it from?

Graycap23 said:

her fantasy maybe? u should state the facts. And the fact is prince never said anything about that. We only know what Tyka said. Have u phoned Prince maybe? come on...

Marco81 said:

Ohh larwd.....

It's also been said to have been written for Nona Gaye.

Then it was said to have been written for Mayte.

Now I say it was written for me on my birtday.

TMGITW certainly seems to be an "for all purposes" song as far as inspirations goes

Just before it's release it was rumoured to be about his french girlfriend Ophelie Winter

After it's release it was about another girlfriend Nona Gaye, whom he supposedly was about to marry

When he instead got engaged to yet another girlfriend, Mayte, it was suddenly about her

And somewhere in between Nona and Mayte it was also about Vanessa Marcil

In 1997, while married to Mayte, Prince said the song was for "all women"

I suppose "all women" includes both his mother and his former harem - as well as noone in particular

Or maybe it really was a birthday song for you Scifi
