I don't know about clarify; there's no way it says "parking stoppage" - "bargains over here" all the way.

The question is why did he use it?

Church Organ -> Bargains -> Relationship Frustration.

Not that it ever bothered me.

I think it was part of an earlier concept to turn Sign into a rock and roll type movie. Prince had created the album against the back drop of urban moral decay.

I think he taped of those samples for his abandoned Coco Boys project (I could be wrong), an earlier form of Graffiti Bridge where the two groups competed in a post modernist version of urban hell. Some of the samples your hear on Lovesexy too like between Eye No and Alphabet Street, "My name is Andre Crabtree the third and I have more holes than a golfcourse". It was this loose scatalogical freaks on street, pimps, hustlers, hos and all that shit.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Or more simply, Prince was just having a bit of fun in the studio.

I always thought it was 'look at the produce over here ladies', rather than 'bargains'... could be wrong though

blah blah blah

Tried many flavours - but sooner or later, always go back to the Purple Kool-aid!
