Other than Prince, the only other artist who can make "hard dick and bubblegum" sound cool was Big L. "All I got for hos is hard dick and bubblegum."

Ummm, Ice Cube would disagree. See the "Get Off My Dick And Tell Your Bitch To Come Here" remix.

Co-Sign. Time to pull out the Kill at Will EP!!

Hot dick or bubblegum

I gladly choose bubblegum

This was my first discovery of a 12 Inch by any artist. I bought the 45 thinking there was a Part 2 like the "Super Freak" 45 had which I had heard on the radio previously and had thought the DJ had mixed part 2 into the ending of the album version. When the "Let's Work" 45 had "Ronnie Talk To Russia" on the other side, I didn't know what the hell was going on until I talked to one of the girls in the record store (I was a regular customer and good friends with the employees) and she showed me the 12 Inch and I bought it.

It's actually "Hard dick and bubblegum" it's an old saying for no strings attached sex.

I always thought the bubblegum part came from balls, hanging all soft and low underneath a hard dick, look like chewed up wads of bubblegum.

I have that as a huge poster but it doesnt say 'Lets Work' on it. Twas my holy grail.

The top one is the German 12" single and the bottom one is the UK 12". The back cover of the UK record misspells "Ronnie"

For some reason I can't get the picture of the misspelling to post. They spelled it "Ronni"

He might have said "My dick" live, but on wax , it's "hard dick". Listen to it with headphones on.

i thought i was the only one that heard that line . prince is the shit "even in the cemetary, i don't care!"

Isn't this the song where Morris is on drums *only* for the extended portion?

I have to say you would never know that the extended portion was recorded at a different time than the 'standard' part of the song. To get all of the levels, effects, and mix exactly the way it was when you recorded an earlier part of the song is admirable (I know, I've tried with some of my songs; even writing levels & effects down, it still is never quite the same when you come back to it and try to add to it).

Of course I am assuming that the extended portion was recorded at a later date.
