Hey! I can't believe that I've not written anything here before, but I have a question. I've read somewhere years ago that Prince instead of swearing would say "artichoke". However when I try to find something about it now, nothing shows up. Have I just dreamt this, or is there truth to it?

Found it:


Lopez Tonight 2011

it is on that video site: "Prince Interview On George Lopez 2011"

Perhaps there’s live or studio versions from then of,

Sexy MotherArtichoke
We Can Artichoke
Irresistible Artichoke
Artichoke Control
Scarlet Artichoke

...and that’s just titles!
