Yes, buying a wig is what I thought he meant. Because his brother Duane (I think) is partially bald.

When he performed this live in the UK for the TV show TFI Friday, he changed the lyrics to "do like Clive Davis and buy some more" (The same Clive Davis from Arista

He also used Elton John as an example during one performance of "Prettyman". Didn't Elton get 'hair plugs'? Maybe that is what Prince was talking about.

Its all about the hair...certain live versions I've heard him use different nams Elton as well as Clive Davis... That touch of humor makes songs like that fun*
