Contro. . . What??? What Did He Say?

I remember listening 2 "Controversy" when I was little, I was always afraid 2 sing it cuz I always thought he said "Contropussy!" I sing it when my mom wasn't around thinking "this dude said "Contropussy!" Once I grew up, then I realized it was Controversy! Kids from my old neighborhood would always come in my room 2 play Nintendo in between me y this song y they would laugh y thought the same thing, as funny as I thought it was, I kept them believing it was "Contropussy!" LOL! My cousin y I r in a rap group "NSP," y we were thinking of a new song, my ringtone was "Controversy" at the time y he sang along 2 it but he said "Count Your Pussy!" It had me laughing! I was in tears! I lived it up 4 5 mins y told him it was "Controversy!"

Have u ever misinterpret any of his songs or this in particular?

Yeah, there have been many "miss-heard lyrics" topics over the years.

One I really misinterpreted a was from the song 'Come' when he says "Fender jazz, mask potato, fuzz tones, all over you thighs". I honestly thought he was saying " Then I just masterbate and bust off, all over you face" until maybe a few years ago when I looked up the lyrics....

I used to hear Viki Waitings " Is my character enough to be one that deserves a copy made"

As

"is my character enough to please and what a difference the coffee made"

As in he's drunk so much coffee that he can't get it up so hopefully his personality will shone through instead

I hear you. Common mistake.

By the way. I also thought it was Drehova when I first heared the name Jehova.

It happens.

I didn't have that with the song itself but for years
I never realised that it is sampled in "my name is prince".

I totally thought the sample was "suck your pussy"

It is a mix of samples, going:
I wanna b your lover, controversy and something esle,
Which to this day i hear as:

I wanna do ur whole body, suck yer pussy


lol
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

My best friends mother used to sing, "Count ya pussy" and when he corrected her, she told him "whatever motherfucka" then continued singing, "Count ya pussy..." thought it was hilarious, i sing it that way to this day.

Yeah, this one is a weirdly common mistake. When I was a kid, I thought he was saying "count your blessings." redface

It is funny you mentioned this because I was driving some girlfriends around a few years back and I was playing Prince music, of course! This song came on and they were like, "Did he just say COUNTRY PUSSY?" Then they started jokes about what is the difference between country pussy and city pussy and all that. It was SO funny! razz

-you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude!
