As I wasn't paying full attention, I heard 'Brother can you spare a dime?' instead of 'Brother can you paradign?'

Some more, anyone?

There's a lot of them...just ask LittlePill and shausler

When I first bought Parade, I only had the cassette version.

I honestly thought that on "New Position", they were singing:

"Do U, Do U like a prick, mon choux?"

"Mon choux", is of course French for "my cabbage". I thought he was asking some woman if she liked his dick and then calling her a cabbage. In French...

what song is that from?

madartista said:

That would be George Clinton & Prince's 'Brother can you paradign'

"Controversy" I thought He was Saying Count Your Pussy.

In "kiss", I thought he was saying "not your age, not your shoe size", come to find out 10 years later he's saying "act your age, not your shoe size"

I always thought 'When 2 R In Love' went thus:

'Come bathe with me, let's drown each other in each other's emotion. Bathe with me - let's cover each other in an human ocean'!!! (Which makes JUST as much sense!).

It wasn't until I was reading the lyrics, in Paisley Park's very own music room, that I noticed. Even though it's not one of my favourite Prince songs, it was only then I realised how beautiful those lyrics are. Imagine your lover saying those to you...

In The Continental ...

The line 'Just say the word and we can start from number one' I thought the line was 'just say the word and we can stop for number one'. I though 'that's just a little TOO graphic'.

Mind you, when Crystal ball was released, I read a review in which the writer had thought the same thing. So I didn't feel so stupid.

I always thought he sang:

"Break the Baretta Urn"

and used to go "What? The BARETTA urn? WTF?" Until I read
the correct lyrics are

"Break the bread I earn".

On Little Red Corvette I always thought he sang "and the rind is so sweet, you must be a Lemon Tree" this always confused me because Lemons are quite bitter.

I still sing it that way!

I always like these types of threads,even if we've had these discussions before...lol...



***On "Little Red Corvette",I actually thought he was singing..."She had a pocketful of horses,HER CHILDREN were so confused".


***On "Head",I assumed that he was singing "You want to stop but I CAN'T,I'M GETTING DOWN".


***On "Controversy",I thought he was really singing "Do you get high,BECAUSE YOUR DADDY DIED?"

***On "When Doves Cry",I thought he was singing "AND IN THE MOST TRICHERIOUS POSES,they feel the heat..."(as if "tricherious" makes any sense...lol).

It's a good thing that he includes a lyric sheet for most of his albums...lol...

It's

"and the ride, I say the ride is so sweet you must be a limousine, (Owah)"

LittlePill said:

lol...I always thought he was singing...

"And the ride,I say the ride is so smooth,you must be a love machine!"

I JUST found out that on Return of the Bump Squad, it's 'Bow Down muthafucka'...I always thought it was 'Butt out muthafucka

You're partially right, it is "SMOOTH" not "SWEET" like I said. God I can't believe I fucked up another one.

WHERE'S THE ORGER WHO MISHEARD...

The Graffiti Bridge lyrics:

'Everybody wants to find Graffiti Bridge'

AS...

'Everybody wants to fuck the greedy bitch'

I was fit to die of laughter when I read that one!

Well they do say "the bigger the cushion, the sweetin the pushin'!!!"

In "Come" I thought he sang:
"Like a strawberry, chocolate, vani-jazz master player bustin' all over yo thighs!" You know, vani- as in vanilla to go with the ice cream flavor theme. Alas, it's mashed-potato fuzztone. I kind of liked the masta-playa-bustin' image, very

On Darling Nikki my cousin and I -she sknows who she is - used to believe Prince was saying : "Carpet Nikki Carpet!"

LMAO @ this whole Dayum THREAD...



WOW... I LOVE IT!!

Woohoo! Many, but I sing along anyway, and then when I look up the lyrics, I say, 'oh, that's what he said...I don't care though cause I love Prince lyrics anyway, either way...
