Whats your least fave Prince Lyric?

I dont like it in the song 'Insatiable' when he says 'up and down, just like a see saw' haha makes me laugh and makes the song less sexy for me.

The "surgery" line from I Love U In Me. And a whole bunch of stuff from The Rainbow Children LP. Oh, and all of The Animal Kingdom. Not real fond of the lyrics to Avalanche, but that's just Prince at his misinformed best.

OMG!!! I love that line from Lemon Crush...I think it's cool! It's just a fun song.

Every lyric in Valentina is horrible imo, just a bad song. But he has so many other songs with clever lyrics that he get's a pass.

"future baby mama"

(just sounds a bit retarded for a song tittle)

"you want your girlfriends to hate you cos they can't get your man"

(I mean highschool was kind of a loooong time ago )

the song has good parts but all in all ithe lyrics just bug me...

"I'd rather do you after school like some homework"

"Put some olive oil in my hair and get ready to cream"

Every bit of Sister
He should have never gone there

But at the same time, I think it's charming that he can be so mystifyingly talented in one moment, and then come out with those awkward goofy ideas other times.

"all around the world they call me prince but you can call me mr goodnight"

goodness just his rapping in this entire song is so embrassing

Any song where he states "I think I'm gonna dance"....

I kinda get this in the context of a live show, but even then it still makes me cringe..

simonmillar said:

lol I actually love it, because it usually means the song is gonna get a little funkier.

I'm gonna go with:
"Don't wait for your neighbor,
Green eggs and ham!"

From 4Ever..."Stop looking at me like that unless you wanna bite that!" &"I don't want to kiss your lips until I get to OHH your hips"...other than those lyrics the composition of the song has grown on me.

"The main problem with war
Is that nobody ever wins"

Made 100 times worse when sung to the jaunty melody

I'm loving all these lyrics stated...

I remember back in '04 blasting 'Life 'O The Party' for the first time out loud in my car and when it got to 'so you're havin a party...well goody for you' - I just cringed and turned that right back down out of embarrassment.

I mean who over the age of 6 says 'goody for you'? Ruined the song for me as well as the irritating female vocal on that.

I love that song, daft lyrics or not.

The lyrics that make me cringe most are from Damn U

"Like animals just born 2 breed"

Then it finishes with

"This one's dedicated to all the lovers, that was beautiful"

Urgh!

Oh, I nearly forgot Dolphin

"If I came back as a dolphin,
Would you listen to me then?,
Would you let me be your friend?"

"bucket of squirel meat"

I agree, sounds a little strange coming out of a grown man's mouth.

nyse said:

Did anybody ever tell you, you look like Prince's love child?

lol...once or twice

Exetergirl said:

Dolphin has some weird lyrics. "You can cut off all my fins" is just plain gross.

In Holy river, a song that I love I don't like the line

Asked her to marry me and she said yes...

I experience as an anti-climax because it's too predictable.
I would think in this day and age when marriage has become such a casual commitment that people jump in and out of, there must be a more beautiful way to express love.

Mr Goodnight and Chocolate Box - bragging like a 15 yo on shitty R&B music.

Crucial.

"Baby you've got to be from a different world
'cause just one look from you could make an army surrender
Baby you've got to rescue me girl
Prisoner in love with the opposite gender.

I ain't sayin' you're better baby,
I ain't sayin' you're not."

I ain't sayin' anything, until you start.



WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN???

Is Prince sayin' that he's not sure if making love with his lover is better than makin' love with a man or not???

I'm sorry, but this line DESTROYS an otherwise beautiful song. Love the song... but I always cringe and scratch my head when that line comes on.

Ugghhh!!

Even for a french (Like me) it's not so complicated to understand...
