The LGBT scores another win with this song! The most iconic bisexual anthem - Prince was out and proud in the 90's!

Jokes aside, I'm serious, this is the first video where he appears with children.

It must have meant something.

and these lyrics in the end :

Would you be, would you, would you, a happy boy or a girl
(Would ya, would ya, would ya be happy little baby)
If I could I would give you the world

It's actually about pedophilia. (Ian's head explodes in 3... 2...)

LMAO!...he'll be here soon, typing out 12 paragraph scrolls with all the intimate details about Prince's sexual thought processes

.

No need - I can just laugh at how I am in your head and you know the best either of you could ever do in that thread was make things up.

There was tabloid rumours of Troy Beyer being pregnant probably just after D&P

On Princevault it says that the song was recorded in 1989.

what about the line.....


When you're in good company
every thing you see
Will be free
Anything goes!

It could be a loving relationship between a parent and child or just two people in love but verse two means it is not about a baby

Prince ALWAYS sang about "boys and girls".

Le Grind (all the boys, all the girls)
Diamonds and Pearls (a happy boy or a girl)
Girls and Boys (song title)
Anna Stesia (Boys and girls love God above)
Vagina (half-boy, half-girl)
etc

When you become familiar with his music, you'll realize that.
BTW, why are you annoyingly underlining everything like it's all links?

Why are you always so triggered ? I copied it from a lyrics website and that's how it appears on this forum. It's not my fault if the settings are so ancient.

Dude, I stopped out of boredom, my own and, I assumed, everyone else's.

.

I am not your dude.

Remember it is YOU who is now cross posting here about a thread where you were caught out making things up. Why you want to be seen as stopping in that thread is shown up as false by your need to continue here - just stop already, it is, to borrow a term, boring. Try to discuss the topic instead.

Mate, you sound like you need a nice massage.

Well, we don't need diamonds and pearls when we have love.

He is an uptight mfer. I bet he says that in person. I am not your dude.

No, Yet another wrong assumption with a personal attack.

.

The only time I hear the word "dude" is in old movies, period pieces and when someone in the org is seeking to criticise others here - people like OF4$.

.

I must have touched a raw nerve in that thread - you need to move past it and discuss this topic instead.

i always hear Rosie sing, "...happy boy OY a girl",

instead of "or"

But, yeah, now that you mention it, PPgirl, it does sound like a positive kids' song!

He wrote an entire frickin' song called Girls & Boys.

Also:

All the boys and all the girls
We are the new kings of the world

Have you ever wanted
to be with someone so much
you'd take anyone
boy or girl?

And no - none of these are about children.

It could be but not about a parent and a baby. Verse 2 makes the other person older than a baby.

.

It is primarily about the importance of love over trinkets

The context is different.

No one has adressed the final part of Diamonds and pearls where he says "would ya be happy LITTLE BABY".

And you have not addressed that the songs says in its second verse "which one of us is right if we always fight" - Hardly a reference to a literal little baby - especially an unborn baby of a pregnant girlfriend.

.

Given this, "little baby" is not meant literally and is more likely to be just a term of endearment.

My conclusion is that, like a lot of Prince song, it could be a combination of different situations but I'm sure one of them involves possibly welcoming a child.
