Got a question concerning "DIONNE" from "THE TRUTH":

on http://www.princelyrics.c...=14#dionne I found this line:

"I could have shown U the shelter reserved unther the sun"

whereas dttlyrics.com then gave:

"I could have shown U the Champs Élysées under the sun"

which sounds more correct to me, isn't it?

Champs Élysées is correct!

It seems to me that the lyrics on different websites are all different.

Awww, come on, Little Pill...you know better than that!

I always thought it was 'Look here, Marsha'

BorisFishpaw said:

No, it's 'thoughts of pretty you and me'

Mindflux said:

I really think it's "thought so pretty: you and me"

You are kidding, right?

Either some people on here have really bad hi-fi OR they need some ear buds!!!

Man, it is "Fuck so pretty!" - if you really need it proven, watch the Livesexy video and you will clearly see both Cat and Prince sing "Fuck".

The song is about FUCKING - jeesh!

Just had another listen to Erotic City.
I'm absolutely 100% sure it's "Fuck so pretty U & me"
(It really is crystal clear...no mistaking it!)

beginnin 2 think somebody's gonna put up an "erotic city: 'fuck' vs. 'funk" thread before the end of the day

BorisFishpaw said:

Thank you. I've never understood shit he says in that song.

chickengrease said:

same here...that's gotta be like the most unintelligible song on for you.

In "Around the World in a Day" he sings "___ ___, I think I wanna dance!" It sounds like "Say papa" -- anyone have any ideas???

madartista said:

That's what I think he is saying.

Did I read somenone said Wendy was backing vocals on Erotic City? What the hell; it's Shelia E., and it is fuck...

There was a topic the other day about If I Was Your Girlfriend and somebody said that the garbled voice at the beginning says "Look at the bargains, over here ladies"... Well, I've listened to it again for the millionth time and I am SURE that its more along the lines of, "Look ??? ??? ??? you suffragette ladies".

Does anybody really know???

BinaryJustin said:

It's definitely "Look at the bargains over here ladies"

BorisFishpaw said:

ROFL! I always thought it was, "If you're looking for the bar, it's over here ladies."

Anyone understood the lyrics to Superfunkycalifragisexy or Ripopgoesdazippa the first, second or thirth time?

ChocolateInvasion said:

Yes! Except I didn't believe my ears about "Brother Maurice'll be 'round in a minute with a bucked filled, in it - squirrel meat." That's what I heard, and thought I must be wrong. Little did I know...

the blood real good if u drink it real fast
but the aftertaste just lasts and lasts
so if u kiss somebody
u wanna party all night (all right!)

u take 'em to your crib and u tie 'em to a chair
and u make funny faces 'till they get real scared
then u turn on the neon
and u play with yourself
till u turn 'em on!

But I'm just as sure it is "Thoughts of pretty U & me" and "Funk". On George Clintons version of it there's no doubt it's "Fuck"

This is off the subject of Prince's song lyrics but in the new jack swing song, Groove Me, by Guy, they sing:

"Groove me" (sometimes)

and other times they sing:

"Screw me"

Mildly embarrassing this but i inexplicably misheard the line,"shake ur body 'til ur neighbours stare", from Housequake as "shake ur body 'til ur nipples tear". Doh!

Hey, it seemed 2 make ferpectly food fense at the time!

Nice site. I like it.

chickengrease said:

I used to think it was "If a man is consequently guilty...etc. etc." Thank god for liner notes!

Thank you all sooo much! This has really given me a laugh! I'm reading through it thinking "hmm, I thought it was Sheila E on backing vocals for Erotic City"...then someone says it!

For the record, I thought it was "Thought so pretty, you and me" in Erotic City...I thought the beginning of IIWYGF was "Looking for parking? over here ladies" ... and... oh I think that's enough shame for one evening, don't u?!

OMG! I have just been to the link posted (thanks, it's great) and I cannot believe the crap I've been singing along to Love Sign...top of my voice in the shower... a whole stack of wrong lyrics!!! I just hope there are no more-informed prince fans living in this building!

pandemonium said:

I think you're both right. The first time he says it, it's "thoughts" and the second time is "fuck."

Hey Choc, I am still trying to learn the words to Rippopgodazippa, I love the song!

here u go:


Don't say no man has ever tasted your ice cream
Baby you're the purple star in the night supreme
You'll always be a virgin for no man deserves your love
I only pray that when U dream, I'm the 1 U dream of
I pray that when U dream, U dream of how we kissed
Not with our lips but with our souls
Stop me if I bore U
Why is it that I think we'd be so good in bed?
Can U hear me? Why do I love U so much?
It's strange, I'm more comfortable around U when I'm naked,
can U hear me?
I wonder if U have any mercy, don't torture me

Stop the music baby, automatic fool

When it comes 2 U I'm automatic baby
There's no 1 else like me
I'm the best you'll ever find
No 1 else could understand U, you're 2 complex
They say nothing's perfect, but they don't know U
That's automatic 2
Can U hear me? (A-U-T-O-matic)
Yes, I'm addicted 2 your pleasure
I'm addicted 2 your pain
It's automatic (A-U-T-O-matic)
Automatically insane
Undress me (A-U-T-O-matic)
(A-U-T-O-matic)
Hey (A-U-T-O-matic)
(A-U-T-O-matic)
(A-U-T-O-matic)
(A-U-T-O-matic)
Hey
Fasten your seat belts
Prepare 4 takeoff
