LIKE A MACK - what's it about?

What do you think? My opinion's that it's about androgynous women.

full lips, freckles, and upturned nose

I have no idea, but they played it in a shop in northern Spain yesterday. It was the first time I heard a Prince song other than Purple Rain in public in Spain since the 1990s!

Nope.

Whenever you're in doubt, check the Urban Dictionary.

"Mack"

.

Especially see: "Mack Daddy"

That's what I did and I got the impression the woman was dressed "like a mack".

It's definitely about a woman. The first line of the song is "That's why I never let a man pick out my clothes".

On how many occasions has Prince written songs referencing his desire to tell his women what to wear?

The song is a vehicle for the "Curly Fryz" girls.
