There are lots of cheesy Prince phrases that he totally fails in pulling off, my favorite is:
"Accurate Knowledge of Christ and The Father will bring the Everlasting Now"!
Come on, people, that's just bad.

18 and over i wanta bone ya!

that's the worst lyric i've ever heard, well not including the lyrics from animal kingdom,that is the absolute worst display of bad writing ever put forth on the world.

I think "NATO spelled backwards is OTAN " is the clear winner...it's even become a running joke here at the org.

"I'm talkin about theocratic order, are you with me?!"
No.

"it's gonna be lonely"...love that song 2 bits, but the line "and who could ever resist your accent from gay paree" (as well as that super-cheesy fake french accent p uses on the last part of that line) is corny as phuc.

"There's a mountain, and it's mighty high, you can't see the top, unless you fly."

End.

Okay, I was fine with some of the others I read on here, but this one should be off the list. A lot of his songs make use of alliteration, (attempts at) rhyming, comparisons, assonance (leave it alone ), and many other colorful aspects of writing techniques. SURELY, you cannot put this one in with a few other lame-seeming lyrics when there is a point he is trying to make. Free your mind, pal, free your mind...

It is kinda strange how we see the lyrics differently. Im vegetarian and i dont see them as that bad, however im not a religious person and i find some of the stuff on The Rainbow Children unbearable lyrically.

I can't recall the song... perhaps "Do Me Baby" or "International Lover." But it has some garbage about "I'm going to stick around until the war is over."

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in relation to sex, and, if I were the girl involved, Prince would never get another piece of me on principle alone.

NO! I'm not with you!

"Kicking me in my heart, tearing me all apart" from Thieves in the Temple is pretty lazy writing.

Lammastide said:

oh that "i ain't gonna stop until the war is over" from "do me, baby"? yeah, that is one dumb line...


...that, and the fact that he "stops" like 20 seconds after sayin it.

Um... im suprised noone mentioned;

"w - w - w, dot e-male, dot com...the king takes the pawn.."

That made me cringe.

Actually the whole song made me cringe. So did Silicon.

I think you misunderstood the lyric:

"I'm not gonna stop until the war is over"

Perhaps that will clear up a few thoughts you might've had?!

No. I totally understand the context... and it's still a dopey thing to say.

Yes! What a crap lyric!

They yell "Stop Racism Now!"
after they promote it for 4 minutes

EVERY SINGLE BIT OF THE CONTINENTAL.

This song should be surgically removed from the album.

"funky fresh for the 90's"-My Name Is Prince

ian said:

yea but when he goes into that

do ya do ya do like ya need to be done part

i love that



2the9s starts out great but falls down the well with the

rapp crap

ian said:

That is the best song on the entire album!! Its fun, kinky and it rocks!

"we're hooked up now, I can try her
I can put my load in the dryer"


:O

That's a horribel line. Messes up the otherwise pretty
smooth vibe of the one nite alone piano album.

Has anyone mentioned:

"Let's slip on a purple banana 'til they put us in a truck"

I'd like to see someone try that!

"Gemini risin' on the 7th day makin' mad sex, okay?
Until u're in my arms again cuz
when u love somebody like dat it's cool-"

Is he condoning adultry, or what?
