Masterbation

...all alone by my self me and I play my tamborine...Troubling!


Is that what he says? Sounds like "Trampoline" to me. lol


Nope, it's "troubling". Listen carefully and you will hear it.

Troubling as in being troubled at having to play by himself and not with someone else.



Oh my God. Talk about reading too much into it. Someone has guilt issues.


so which do you prefer? Play alone or with someone else?

I have only read into it what's there smile And as far as guilt, I have none whether I'm alone or with someone else. I love shaking the Tamborine horny


[color=red:91419d5f2a:63954a7303:53b197d0a2:341c619178:283f10e003:008ea15f06:ab7de0e201:b6e9a11beb:9660ad5cda:956bd923a6:348e8857d4]He does not sing '...troubling', but I suggest you may be hearing that because you prefer it with someone else


He does sing "Troubling". I can hear it and if you listen carefully you will too. It totally makes sense in context to the song.

oh my god here you are prettiest thing in life I've ever seen
close my eyes what's it like what's it like inside your tamborine
oh my god there I go, falling in love with a face in magazine (uh-oh not again)
all alone by myself me and I play my tamborine

Troubling!

Trampoline makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, however Troubling does.


No 'grinder, he doesn't sing 'troubling' or 'trampoline', either. A line like that would be included in the lyrics which are listed in the CD booklet and on the album sleeve. However, a background vocal repeating the title phrase does not need to be printed. I know it might sound like he's saying something else, but he is singing 'tamborine' with a higher and faster counterpoint vocal also singing 'tamborine' and those overlaps and the goofy phrasing he uses, cause it to sound like it's another word.


You are waaay off on this one. There are a million examples where the lyrics to a Prince song does not match those in the booklet.

You need to go back and listen because there is clearly a TR sounding word. And "Troubling" makes even more sense in context to this:

Lonely lonely nights...Troubling
Lonely lonely nights...Troubling

Troubling as in being lonely and having noone to play with but yourself. I have this pegged so hard. You need to open up your mind and let the truth flow. I'm telling you I'm on the mark with this one smile



It sounds like a "tr.." sound because he is slurring his vocals to exemplify his aggravation. The background vocals repeat the title phrase throughout the entire song. You're gonna believe what you want anyway, but this is one case where you couldn't be more off the mark.

We should be sure to remember to ask him next time we get a chance.


I agree that he is singing tamboring in the background throughout the song but that TR sound is no slur. And why would he have to slur to exemplify his exageration when he's already exemplifying his exageration by telling you he's troubled at having to be alone.

Lonely lonely nights...Troubling

You are stuck hearing what you have heard the whole time. Free your mind and perhaps your ass will follow smile



Who's stuck? You are, brother. You made this little thing up in your own mind and are now completely intransigent about it. Your argument above is totally cyclical and carries no logic whatsoever. If he is attempting to exemplify his aggrevation (not exagerration), why would he have to limit it to one way? Couldn't he slur his vocal AND talk about being lonely? My point is he is NOT using the word 'troubling' - not that he ISN'T troubled by being alone and having to play his tamborine. (which is what he is singing in the background)

I've seen examples of official lyrics being misprinted, but generally they are entire lines or portions of lines changed (chaos and disorder comes to mind because the original lyric printed in NPG magazine said something about downing a 40 and he sings something about 40 days of being played ain't proud). But really - logically - why would the printer leave out one word in that song when the rest of the lyrics for the entire record are all perfectly correct?


Man...

I corrected the word exageration to aggravation. I typed it up so fast that I typed the wrong word... Still does not negate my point.

My argument is completely and totally logical. What is more logical that he's singing Trampoline (doesn't make any sense whatsoever) or Tamborine (which I would give you if not for the clear sound of TR) or Troubling (especially since you can hear this is what he sings when he breaks down the word Tra-bo-ling)

When I first heard this line correctly I was listening to the album with a friend of mine and it was exactly like an epiphany because we both heard it correctly at the same time and both turned to each other and said "Troubling!" I suppose my friend is delusional too...

You concede that he could be troubled at spending lonely nights by himself...Why is it so hard to believe that he is saying Troubling? I can't believe people are being so hard headed on this.


I'm willing to bet there are more people who hear it correctly than don't.

Thinking something is true doesn't make it so. Just as printing "my argument is completely and totally logical" in bold doesn't make it so. You have to use your powers of reasoning before you decide whether something is true or not. It's not logical for the line to be sung and then left off the lyrics. I think we're getting to the point where we need to agree to disagree. The only reason I responded in the first place is that misinterpreted lyrics is one of my pet peeves.


True, it's not logical for the lyric to be left out but stranger things have happened...

Anyway, be happy singing it the way you want cuz I'm happy singing it the right way evillol smile


You mean wrong way. OK!

In addition to the root of that reason: His music inspires zealotry the likes of which haven't been seen since the Crusades.














Is zealotry a word?
