It's "four hands in the place where the V connects," as in crotch, as in pussy. Where do the feet connect? At the ankle?

"When she making love it's like surgery"

never got that.

watch, next time i listen to "gotta stop (messin about)" i'ma wind up singin that...

"my pants were wet, they came off -
But she didn't see the movie
cuz she hadn't read the book first"

That's not just strange, it's F**kin' genius!!

Man, his lyrics used to be sooo coool.

"green virgin teenager
or filthy rich yuppie"


mm-hmmm, there musta been some kinda drugs goin' round in '88.

Brother Maurice will b round in a minute
With a bucket filled, in it - squirrel meat

PIMP RAG, TOOTSIE POP AND A CANE

That line still baffles me 2 this day...

"Even at the centre of the fire there is cold", I don't think so.

Mind you he does continue with the line, "all that glitters ain't gold." Which has to be one of the most factually correct things he has ever sung!

"Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds and a tangerine
and a side order of ham"

how could i forget the whole of starfish and coffee?

Let's look for the purple banana til they throw us in the truck.

do you dream straight up
or do you dreams in w's

'dreams'? I don't know...

now THAT retort gets an 4 just being way damned funny!

How about:

"I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain".

Why does it particularly have to be purple and why do they have to be laughing in rain. Why can't they just laugh at him when they see his little penis? They don't need to be outside catching pneumonia.

"Artist... family loan... aspirines!"
"Bob, spell the shit backwards, what'd it say. Same motherfuckin' shit"
"I am the cybersingle, that is me. Come and get my download"
"We are what we eat, so we must eat a leaf and dine under a tree unless it snows!"

I have no idea, and it's bugged me for a while too. Sometimes I just sing "What's her other name?" or "U park sort of lame" in that part. I know this doesn't help you at all, Handclaps, but I just thought I'd share.

Isn't this line describing Prince's look during that era? He used to have that thing on his head (pimp rag?), suck on a lolly pop and carry a cane.

Hey was it good boy?
eeehhhmmm...
Bought some of a riot?
Sought son of a rat?

How 'bout this for a strange lyric?

"Tony get on the mike
Yeah I'ma push upon it!"

Sure conjures up some strange images doesn't it?

I always thought that it meant that sex was clinical!! Now I ain't so sure

This is what it sounds like when doves cry.
WTF?
What the hell have doves got to do with it? Am I missing something? Also, I'll bet that when doves DO cry, it doesn't remotely sound like a Linn Drumm, a Hohner tele through a Boss Octave pedal and a couple of tracks of vocal harmonies.

"Hundalasiliah!"


Still don't know what this is and why he's shouting it...

I thought it might have something to do with the flower he's sitting in on the cover of Lovesexy.

Does anyone have a clue?

Ellemennopee said:

You're right, it's the flower. "Hundalasiliah" is the scientific name for the flower next to Prince in the photo of the Lovesexy cover. It's common name is the Minneapolitan Penis Flower.

"Makin music naturally...Prince and the WB."

Not strange, but it makes me laugh these days.
