Tic Tac Toe Don't let the Lawrence Welk stylings fool you, this song seems to be talking about suffering fools.
"Y'all are acting like a bunch of blind people playing tic tac toe"
Cracks me up...
Anybody else? | |

This is one of my favorite tracks off that album, but I don't quite get the Lawrence Welk reference you're making.. Change it one more time.. | |

Love this song. . It has such a Hendrix vibe to it... like 'Electric Ladyland' era. "He's a musician's musician..." |

Beautiful song. I swear so many fans here quickly discard any new music that hits without really taking the time to get familiar with it. Only to come back a few months later praising those very same songs. "You always get the dream that you deserve, from what you value the most" -Prince 2013 | |

My friend heard it playing in my car and made up another verse:
"Like a bunch of deaf people playing Marco Polo, who knows where all in the pool they'll go"
He couldn't stop laughing at the main lyric and how wrong he thought it was, so he added. [Edited 6/23/15 8:05am] My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

This one has found its way into several mixes I've made for friends. Uniquely Prince composition, lovely "So fierce U look 2night, the brightest star pales 2 Ur sex..." | |

TicTacToe is such an amazing song. It has that beachy summery vibe to it. It reminds me of what Wendy and Lisa were doing back in the day. Lyrics are good too. Its my favorite on the album. IMO it could be about Mayte. Thoughts? This Could Be Us But U Be Playin...
You Can Call It The Unexpected Or U Can Call It WOW | |

"Balletina"? Could be her. [Edited 6/23/15 9:52am] What? | |

I would have prefered the lyrics to say blindfolded instead of blind. If I'm wrong to want that then Prince surely played that song with Stevie Wonder at the White House last week. | |

[Edited 6/23/15 9:52am] I thought the balletina and ancient dance lyrics might have been a reference to Mayte. . The song itself has grown on me a bit, nice laid back vibe once you get past the bizarre thought of those poor blind people trying to play tictactoe | |

And it's like, blind people can still play tic tac toe. Not well or with much planning. But they could draw shit. Or just play Connect Four. If the song was about blind people playing Axis & Allies or some shit, then it would be compelling. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

Its not a ballad. Its shoegaze. Its a cocteau twins inspired track. Change it one more time.. | |

Reminds me of a cross between the Stylistics and late period Roxy Music. I really like it. | |

What struck me with that song is that it has a strong W&L feel to it, it really sounds SO Parade/Dream Factory to me. I know many people hate it but I can't understand why, it's the most neo-Revolution thing Prince has ever done.

People who are blind can play tic tac toe if they want.
But since it's such a stupid game, they don't bother
