The meaning of "Lemon Crush"

What exactly does "Lemon Crush" mean? I read on urbandictionary that it means, "when you have a crush on a girl who happens to be a lesbian." Now I seriously doubt this is what P was talking about with this song, given, it was on the Batman soundtrack, and Vicky Vale was anything but a lesbian. After all, her character "liked Bats."

What is the story? I know some of the songs on the Batman album were re-worked demos of older songs P wrote, and some he wrote for the film. Anyone know the origin/meaning of this awesome jam?

Playing it now...

Every time U do me - such a rush Ooh, it goes right through me - lemon crush music

It means Bitter Sweet. Sing bitter sweet every time he says Lemon Crush and the song makes perfect sense

Does anyone know Robert Johnsons Traveling Riverside Blues? It features the line:
You can squeeze my lemon til the juice runs down my leg
(I don't think that needs any explaining.) Prince may have had something on his mind...

that makes sense, since vicki waiting was originally anna waiting.

he used to date anna during/right after lovesexy, no? so there are

a few songs he wrote about/for her on the batman soundtrack, i'm

sure. just thought that vicki waiting was the only one until now.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

lemon crush is one of my all time faves.. even tho some of the lyrics are clunkers.. the sound of it just knocks me out....

the harmonies.. that crazy cowbell sounding electronic percussion.... the chorus is killer.. and my favorite is when is guitar almost screams..its this one high pitched note that sounds like it is crying.. it kills me.

ps - what the HELL is he saying here? 'ready for all the crush'?

A few months ago a company named 'Lemon Crush' moved into the same building my company has it's offices in. Now I'm stuck with LC in my head at least for the first hour I arrive at work.

Good thing they're not called "Mr. Goodnight" lol

Also the batman logo looks like a lemon so maybe that inspired him to do a lemony song

Your more than welcome biggrin

I love this song I only realised after playing it like a million times.

He also does this on the song Color for The Steeles on 1800NewFunk

Replace the word Color with Judge and again the song makes perfect sense
