Prince as a lyricist: funny/ridiculous quotes

Hi there!

As a newcomer to the .org, I'd like to say hello to all of you. What a great community of fans, and how much have I learnt here!

With my not-so-rich English, I'd like to introduce me as a Prince fan since the beginning of the 90's who lost partially his interest at the end of that decade, with the at least for me very mediocre albums New Power Soul and Rave Unto... until two years ago, when Lotus Flower brought me back completely to Prince world (and when I realised that I had missed some great albums, particularly The Rainbow Children).

And a good way to begin in the .org is to start a discussion topic. This is one I have shared with my friend Borja, who is also out there in the .org, and now I project it to all of you.

Please share with me what you consider to be funny/ridiculous quotes from the Prince lyrics. Maybe we'll all have a laugh. As a start, I propose these ones, in chronological order:

"She showed me where it's supposed to go. A blow job doesn't mean blow. (...) Oh motherfuckerjustamotherfucker can you understand" (Sister, 1980)

"If I say 11, you can say it's 7. Still I wish you heaven" (I Wish U Heaven, 1988)

"I told her a joke about a woman who asked her lover: Why is your organ so small? He replied: I didn't know I was playing in a cathedral. Vicky didn't laugh at all" (Vicky Waiting, 1989)

"I'm gonna cover your ass with this sheet" (I Hate U, 1995)

"Ain't it kinda funny when you see the dawn?" (Face Down, 1996)

Welcome Javi 2 the org. And may I say please swallow or inject some stimulants to grow some thicker skin while ur here too. it could get pretty hectic at times, but anyways, Prince does have a word with words smile Another main thing we all enjoy about him. And his sense of humor si out of this world. It can range from crazy (stabbing homemade puppet of his manager/ dying hair orange to deceive Jon Bream) to harmlessly cute (can't think of any at moment).

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

On Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance, I thought it was kind of funny when he said,

But Doris caught him in her arms
She shrugged her shoulders and said "No harm"
Just put Ur name on this pre-nup and we can all hit the disco.
