I luv this quirky little track!!...definitley his most catchy song in my opinion....but i struggle 2 know what the songs actually means is it about a little lesbian?....with teh chorus meaning she likes a womens private parts for example >

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam < meaning she likes licking pussy juice when shes on her period
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine < the overies and womb
And a side order of ham < pussy flaps.....cuz there both on the "side" of the vagina obvioulsy
If U set your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Or have I got It Totally Wrong?

Wow. That's quite an interpretation.

To me it's about a nice breakfast on a day with fluffy white clouds in the sky.

Use the Org google and you'll see there are threads already here about this

Here's an example

I'd say you've got it wrong and that the answer is explained pretty comprehensively in the above thread link.

Lol!!! Oh bugger it... If you are trolling so be it...... It's a sex toy!!! Think about it....

Years ago. People visiting Prince's Love 4 One Another website were invited to submit questions to Prince that he would answer in a Q&A session type thing.

One of the questions was regarding the meaning of "Starfish & Coffee." The question asked if it was about a mentally challenged girl. All Prince had to say was that it was.. "Let's say mentally alternative, or gifted shall we?"

If it's really about vageegees and going down, then it was a f***ed up choice of song to sing on the Muppets.
