Bullshit. He doesn't say "heart" either, but yet on the One Nite Alone...Live set, the song "Condition of the Heart" is listed as "Condition of the " So which is it?

He doesn't say "Dollar sign" on the MPLsound or Lotus song either, but we know it's "money".

You're stretchin'.

Based on the Sexy MF and P Control, are you really trying to make rules now. Naah, I call bullshit.

Not exactly. On the promos for the Symbol album with that slow-talking creepy chick, she specifically says "Sexy M. F." and not "Sexy Motherfucker".

I want to say "booM' because i don't think he actually says BOOM i think it's just the boom of the music,, but I can't recall

But the work pt. 1 (becuase he doesn't say "pt. 1" ) and when is part 2 comming out? not that i'm really looking forward to it lol

Hmm and I think "Bob George". I don't think he even says George on it? actually he says in the telephone part Mr. George, but never "bob george"

and yeah thats all I can think of

He does say "boom". That's the chorus.

The "pt. 1" in the song "The Work pt 1" refers to the song itself. The second part of The Work is actually doing it. This has been discussed at length on the org.

He says Bob George throughout the song.

IDK why all you guys are so literal with this "Title not in lyrics" thing. Tons of you are posting songs in which the titles ARE in the lyrics. "Something In the Water (Does Not Compute)" does not need to have him say "Something In The Water Does Not Compute" for it to qualify. He says both "Something In The Water" and "Does Not Compute" in the song frequently.

These songs do not count as they -do not have lyrics- and, thus, are ineligible in a thread discussing songs which do have lyrics.

That one's not actually true, because "D.M.S.R." is sung in the background a couple times.

Perhaps you're right on that one.

oh look out......it's the police taking everything way too seriously and enforcing the "rules".

That's like saying someone is taking math too seriously when they correct you after adding 1 + 1 and getting anything but 2.

It makes no sense to say an instrumental song's title isn't spoken in the lyrics. Instrumentals.... don't have lyrics....

Darling Nikki?

I don't think he ever says "darling", except for "this darling little prince wanna grind, grind, grind,....................."

Eh, who knew.

I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess U could say she was a sex fiend
I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine
She said, “How'd U like 2 waste some time”
And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind

She took me 2 her castle and I just couldn't believe my eyes
She had so many devices, everything that money could buy
She said, “Sign your name on the dotted line”
The lights went out and Nikki started 2 grind

Ow, Nikki!

The castle started spinning or maybe it was my brain
I can't tell U what she did 2 me, but me body will never be the same
Her lovin' will kick your behind, oh, she'll show U no mercy
But she'll sho'nuff, sho'nuff show U how 2 grind

Darlin' Nikki, oh!

I woke up the next morning, Nikki wasn't there
I looked all over, all I found was a phone number on the stairs
It said, “Thank U 4 a funky time
Call me up whenever U wanna grind”

Yeah, Nikki, oh!
Oh, come back Nikki, come back!
Your dirty little Prince wanna grind, grind, grind, ...!

I said avalance, but when I checked he does actually say it.

He was not or never had been in favor
Of setting our people free, oh no
If it wasn't 4 the 13th Amendment, yessir
We woulda been born in slavery

He was not or never had been in favor, no
Of letting us vote, so U see
Abraham Lincoln was a racist, oh yessir
Who said, "U cannot escape from history"

CHORUS:
Like the snow comin' down the mountain
That landed on Wounded Knee
Nobody wants 2 take the weight
The responsibility

Ooh, hoo, hear the joyous sound of freedom
The Harlem Renaissance
Hear Duke Ellington and his band kick another jungle jam
Ooh, do U wanna dance?

(Who?) But who's that lurking in the shadows? (Who is it?)
Mr. John Hammond (With his pen in hand, pen in hand)
Oh he's sayin', "Sign your kingdom over 2 me, yeah
And be known throughout the land!"

Oh, but U ain't go no money, naw, U ain't got no cash
So U sign yo name, he claims innocence
Just like every snowflake in an avalanche
Oh, oh, oh...

(CHORUS)
Coming down the mountain
Oh, that landed, landed, landed, Wounded Knee
Oh, nobody, don't nobody wanna, don't nobody wanna take the weight
Of responsibi... responsibility

Got me to thinking about "Sex ("the ’80s are over and the time has come 4 monogamy and trust")" although it's close:

The 80s are over and the time has come
4 a new proclamation of love and fun
Monogamy and trust is what I'm talkin' 'bout

When "Feel better" first came out on the web, it was named "Feel Good, Feel Better, Feel Wonderful", but the chorus always, then and now, went "Feel Better, Feel Good, Feel Wonderful", with "Good" and "Better" being switched. Ergo, their claim.

We tried that, remember?

Thanks to all for replying. I think we can say that Prince's writing style precludes any "Bohemian Rhapsody." Although I would be interested to hear any results of a change in style. Perhaps we could suggest titles for him? I'd love to hear:"Lot's daughters", "Botox pox" and especially:

" Drawing a hand from memory."

Elephants said:

Does anyone know a Prince song where the title is not stated in the lyrics?

well i dont know any but i think some people were wrong beacuse P control is in the lyrics of that song allow me to demonstrate...

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen
Boys and motherfing girls
This is your captain with no name speaking
And I am here to rock your world
With a tale that will soon be classic
About a woman you already know
No prostitute she, but the mayor of your brain
P***Y Control"
