Prince's Self-love!

One of the funniest things about prince's lyrics is his constant placement or reference to himself in his songs. Well it's not always funny bur I get a kick out of hearing him drop his own name or description in a song. Here's a few off the top of my head, add yours too.

The first that pops into my mind, from Bob George:

"Whats he do 4 a livin? manage rock stars? who? Prince! ain't that a bitch. that skinny muthafucka with a high voice!"

"and left him for a REAL Prince from Arabia, now isn't that a shame..." Condition of the Heart

"your little Prince wanna grind, grind grind..." Darling Nikki

"this little Prince thinks alot about you" Temptation


"She had the cutest ass he'd ever seen. But he did 2, they were meant 2 be" Girls & Boys...now u know he loves his ass!

"Some fool in a red mask totin' a one-eyed bass
Pulled it out, stuck it up the police officer's face" the Return of the Bump Squad

The entire extended portion of the Kiss 12"
"oh my god isn't that Prince on television Saul? Isn't he strangest looking thing you've ever seen?!"

All the gals say hoe if your man's giving up the gold. All the fellas say ruff if you're only giving up the bone.

A curse therein set forces a chain of events
That only freed me when I remembered
Where I was and who I am
The only Prince that will ever rule this holy land
All understand and all standunder this affirmation now
By the power invested in me by God...
All negativity bows

C'mon, try it...it does wonders. Look into the mirror, purse your lips, grease up your hair and pull it into a typhoon, and SANG:

Cream - get on top
Cream - you will cop
Cream - don'tchoo evah stop
Cream - shuh boogie bop

Yer so good...baybee there ain't nobody bettah...(ain't nobody bettah)...


Now go out and conquer the world like you know you oughtta should. (&jerkyerbodylikeahornyponywould)
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamine.

This probably should be in the Lyrics thread, but about a year ago either here or at AMP I read a good interpratation of the song: Cream is actually referring to his hit song writing, a hit pop song about writing a hit pop song disguised as a sexual metaphore.

"Time for you to go to the wire" = get another song on the Radio etc.
So yes it is about him, but in a whole different way.

And to stay more on track
How about all of Daddy Pop
Now I'm older than movies, Now I'm wiser than dreams, And I know who's there
