The entire "My Name Is Prince".

That song is cringy but that is a killer beat. Whenever I need to get in a better mood, I put that one on and stomp around the house (scaring my dogs!) singing loudly "My name is Prince, the one and only" ... works every time.

Love "Housequake" but every time I hear "green eggs and ham" I think, wtf?

Green eggs and ham is a very famous children's book.

Prince has some amazing lyrics but there's been a couple of cringy ones...

From Man O War..."Even if I tried to, I couldn't because I still smell like the last time"...

Ummm....take a shower?

Lol I thought that lyric was weird too but he made it sound normal idk. Lol. This may not be the worst lyric but it's not appealing; in I wanna Melt With U: " Don't look now, but there's a river of blood U must have been a virgin What am I guilty of? Oh no (oh no) Are u afraid? Then take me 2 the next phase..." lol I mean geesh Prince did you just jam your stuff into a girl for her to bleed so much? Lol

You do know that is about popping Mayte's cherry...

I wondered if it was about Mayte.

.

but what are these lyrics about?

.

Yeah, do that baby [Repeat: x2]
Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog (ooh, I want to melt with u)
Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog (ooh, I want to melt with u)
Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog

.

You don't talk that way to someone you are deflowering.

.

You don't talk that way to anyone.

.

Not even if you are doing it doggie style.

.

And if he wrote those lyrics to give us some idea of what their first time was like, that was way to much information for me.

.

The Lyrics to this song are a real cringer.

.

Not to mention, "River of Blood" is a biblical reference.

Whaaaat - you don't know that for sure. That is hearsay. I seriously doubt Prince or Mayte would ever admit that in an interview or anywhere else.

Yup. That one's flippin terrible. Like an embarassing bad dad-pun with added sex awkwardness.

I just saw him performing it on the Jimmy Fallon show...Good grief...Even the way he SAYS it - 'scrooooeeeewww' - is absolutely hideous - what possessed him???!!!???

Lyrics from the song 'We Can Funk' on the album 'Graffiti Bridge' (Metro Lyrics)

The bolded parts are by George Clinton, who has had a "pee" fixation since time memorial. For instance:

Oh lady won't you be my dog
And I'll be your tree and you can pee on me

Or:

I'm a blind dog with a seeing eye, man
If I mistake you for a tree and pee, I hope you'll understand

Thanks.

Did George Clinton write those lyrics for this song?

Or did Prince take those lyrics from a George Clinton song?

I'm not really sure. I've never heared them on another Clinton song, but they're probably just catchphrases that George decided to use here. Just like the "we be funking over here/over there ain't shit" part. Clinton still uses that at his concerts.
