Let's Pretend We're Married

In the song, near the end, is Prince really saying "Look Here Marsha"? I kinda hear the word "Martian"... I don't know...



Or is it, "You're in such good company"??
Org, help me out!
Thanks smile

"Look here, Marshall"

It was a reference to Eminem, little known fact.

Look here Marsha, I'm not sayin' this just to be nasty
I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth

Usually, he sings about "Martha". Significance of other, unknown.

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

Just know you're not the only one. My friend has been swearing for years that Prince says "Martian" and not Marsha. Even though it does sound like he is saying martian, it makes absolutely no sense with the entire song.

Funny thing is, I can't convince that same friend that Prince is actually screaming "Com-put-er Blue" at the end of that song. He claims Prince is yelling yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

Everyone hears things different. Without Prince to explain his lyrics, we'll never know, lol. lol

Brady Bunch reference.

Kinda like 3121 is a Heffernan referance.

(that should be an autotuned rap line)
