What the...?

Question time! Sorry, it's bugging the hell outta me!

I've been listening to 'Batman' today and after all these years STILL can't work out the opening, multi-tracked vocal to 'Lemon Crush'. It sounds as if Prince is singing "I never ordered crush".

What on earth is he singing? Anyone?!

I always thought it was "Ready for all the Crush", but heckabuff, I could be wrong.

I heard of Orange Crush being a soda now is Lemon Crush a drink with Alcohol because I thought I saw it on a Menu once and it's like a Lemon Drop.

As far as I know, this song is about Kim Basinger as his lemon crush. Because of her blond hair--they had a whirlwind lov affair for awhile during the Batman days of '89'.

Thank u.
