The ride is so sweet..you must be an imbecile!

Okay, so I got those words wrong all these years to 'Little Red Corvette'. I am an imbecile! smile

I only realised when I saw the quote of the day, just a minute ago, after so many years of listening to that song. I wonder if anyone else has any funny misinterpretations of what Prince has sung?

I alWays heard it as that as well! - before I had the original it was a tape of a tape of a tape, and wAs a shorter version of the album. I still maintain it makes more sense that way!

In the song, "In a Large Room with No Light" I always thought he was singing "... a picture of a woman with a dick in her hand." It wasn't until he re-recorded the song for one of the Montreaux concerts that I realized I had this wrong.

I don't think you were wrong. There was a big public debate going on back then over public funding of art that was controversial, i.e. "Piss Christ" and others. Jesse Helms led up the charge to defund all public monies for art because of a few artists that actually challenged people to think. I heard that lyric connected in some way to that debate, as Prince's commentary on the subject. In A Large Room With No Light reminds me of Sign of the Times lyrically, both of these songs point to the craziness in society. Where do you find hope in a society and a world that seems to have no rhyme or reason.
