Not mother anymore but "You sexy grammar ...". Now that is a sign o' the times.

thus, a double mistake

LOL

I-

I don't get it... O' in old english means "of" not "of the". So the way its written IS correct

Nah. Copy and paste.

.

Copy and paste from the official website would be 'SIGN O' THE TIMES' for the album and 'Sign o' the Times' for the song.

Yeah I see every other place writes it the same way but that's not what the cover says.

.

Nor is what the orginal album says on the record, CD, in the rack listing etc. - they all use the peace symbol on mine. However in the SDE, it is a mix between peace symbols and o' - the latter as used in the text of the book.

.

All jokes aside, both are used and the grammar error there in is just a bit of fun. As an artist's name for their art, the grammar error is long known and irrelevant.

Song O'Heart

I read these in a Yorkshire accent in my head and it's a joyful thing. In a strong Yorkshire accent, the definite article gets replaced by a glottal stop or glottal stop/t sound depending on whether the next sound is a vowel. It's a very very traditional county and most of the time the dropped "the" is found in things like "top o t'moor" or "on Ilkey moor bar t'hat", which adds even more comedy value. You might need to be from the UK to "get it", but it's hilarious. At least I think so.

Yes true. Some people from outside UK think all British accents are the same. Which is also hilarious. And if they could hear a proper Yorkshire accent they'd probably be thinking, "What language is this?".

Cause he was 2freaky.

It's easier to read the way Prince wrote it.

I don't mean to shit all over this premise, since it is kinda fun, but...

It was never an O followed by an apostrophe. It was always an O in parenthesis. Even in the liner notes.

Nah, shit all over it. Please. It deserves it.
