It means anal sex. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

That's what I would call it. What part is that "whammy" anyway? I remember him saying "wanna lay me?", but beyond that, I'm lost. | |

I personally don't think he's saying whammy but is saying "wanna lay me" instead | |

I thought it referred to the guitar device he uses ever so frequently to make his vibrato stick out. "Not to sound cosmic, but I've made plans for the next 3,000 years," he says. "Before, it was only three days at a time." | |

Yes, a "whammy bar" is a nickname for a tremolo arm (you can see him using it on the recently published Peach performance at Montreux), but in the Syracuse performance he is flirting with the crowd and saying "Wanna lay me?" ...we have only scratched the surface of what the mind can do...

That's a whammy bar, but the poster is talking about "Delirious", in which he does NOT play a guitar. | |

That's a whammy bar, but the poster is talking about "Delirious", in which he does NOT play a guitar. And Prince didn't use a tremolo on stage back then. Also, Prince uses a Digitech Whammy pedal, but it didn't come out until 1991. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |
