Sorry, but I've listened to this several times now and still don't hear him saying that. how is anybody sure this is what he's saying? It's so distorted and gutteral it could be like 30 different things.

What are the 29 other things that you are hearing?

That is a valid point. For all of Prince's sexual lyrics, he rarely refered to his own genitals. Lots of pussy talk, but no dick or balls talk.

He talked about his dick...a lot. Obviously not as much as but I wouldn't say he rarely referred to it. Just off the top of my head:

• "me tallywacker sucking is all you want"
• "I just hate to see an erection go to waste"
• "You were working on a line you could drop on her, but you couldn't concentrate when your dick saw her..."
• "my hard on is everlasting"
• In Head, he literally says he came on her wedding dress...
• Ripopgothazippa, Hide the Bone, and Johnny are basically songs about how hard his dick is.

And that's not even including when he used euphamisms to refer to it or talked about masterbating himself.


Hide the Bone/masterbation edit

OMG, I always thought he said:

You were working on a line you could drop on her,

But you couldn't concentrate when your dick fell off!

I don't think he said that. In the album version he said "don't make me, I got to ...go" But this version is edited maybe it is just sloppy editing?

Have people forgot 'Tick Tick Bang' is about masturbating all over someone? 10 out of 10.

Prince spent the bulk of his career saying dirty and shocking things without actually outright saying them, I think we can give him a pass for getting right to the point on this one.

I see all the action is on the 'suck my balls' thread.

You don't get this shit on Mozart.org

That was only instrumentals.

Butt, i'm pretty sure even Mozart meant "kiss my dick!" on a passage or two

Lick My Love Pump was an instrumental.

this way lies decline.

prince 'getting more to the point' was also just part of his following the trends in rnb/rap of the time.

That's following "trends" in society period, not just rap and r&b.

Everyone's more direct/loose now compared to the 80s. Innuendo was kind of necessary then--if Purple Rain came out now he could probably put "Darling Nikki" out as lead single and get Top 40 radio play/trending. He was following the era, not the trends.
