I thought Dinner With Delores was a metaphor, with "Delores" having an insatiable appetite for sex, not actual food.




The song is a metaphor for Warner Bros. They are the big, greedy, out-of-touch dinosaur expecting him to turn the same tricks for money. He wants to move on from 1984, but they won't let him. He ends the stale relationship.

Brilliant, poignant and beautiful song about artistic control. The era performances of this song must've felt so bittersweet for him...with "Slave" written on his "turned" cheek.


Jdcxc has it right. Now listen with that in mind and it's quite brilliant.

I always thought he said "this girl was eating all but the TIN" like a tin fork or something boxed

smile That's okay too, but I get "tip"/seminal fluid.

I thought the tip was like you leave a tip at a restaraunt after your meal. (Of course, a double meaning was probably intended. It's Prince.)

From what I've read, it's about C Delores Tucker, a civil rights activist with whom he had a bizarre encounter. It could be about WB via a high-and-mighty anti-cursing crusader. Either/or. smile

This is the only correct answer. How is this not obvious to people?
