"Sign O The Times" -the song, have you ever wondered....

Why it sounds as if Prince is laughing when he sings


But when the night falls
and a bomb falls
will anybody see the dawn?


There is a distinct tremor in his voice at the start
of the line that sounds as if he's having a laugh to
himself over the line and it's significance.

There is a thing called a frustration laugh--like a sigh, just more ironic.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

True. That's what it sounds like. I was just high on too
much caffeine and cigarettes this afternoon and decided
there had to be a deeper meaning. As in: Prince will just
laugh at the bomb falling and the coming of the four
horsemen of the apocalypse since he rests assured in the
knowledge that he will be able to lay righteous claim on
a place near his god.
