DMSR: Everybody get on the floor WHat the heck did you come here for? Girl it ain't no use U might as well get loose Work your body out some more! The Ride: Something's funky here baby, Is it your breath or mine? I had the regular chips, You had them other kind! Can anyone think of any others? I wish u heaven | |

thumbs up for the creativity, I suppose.
That's got to be pretty challenging to re-write lyrics. | |

It's better than "leave me the BLANK alone". | |

Well, on the Grammies, "Baby, I'm a Star: got a rewrite:
"My luck won't change tonight/it's got me paralyzed" became "The Word won't change tonight/it's got me a better life." | |

I heard that he changed the song title of "Kiss" to "Hug"...seriously, it wouldn't surprise me at this point. | |

I don't know were you got paralyzed from. Probably the wax in my ears. That explains the "E" that I keep getting in Prince worship 101.

much better than that "i'll be reading the bible" or whatever he said in a past version...
sounds like he's up for a doritos commercial... | |

I have to say I don't have a problem with Prince changing
lyrics in the context of live performance. I'd rather hear D.M.S.R. with a minor lyric change, than not hear it at all. Some of the lyric changes can be quite inventive and funny. Though I don't see him attempting a rewrite on Sexy MF any time soon. Now, if he remastered his existing albums and re-recorded any 'offensive' parts on them, then I would have a problem with it.

[This message was edited Tue Feb 10 0:39:37 PST 2004 by BorisFishpaw] but still, last night at the show when DMSR started I anticipated hearing his substitue words and I still think "work that body like a whore" sounds better into the song... guess it takes some getting used to, To Sir, with Love | |

Ah well.
Think at concerts we should all have a bit of a synchronised cringe each time this happens. And then start dancing again. | |

Did you never hear Radio 1's Mark & Lard edit of the song? They used a big "boing!" ruler twanging kind of sound. Remember in the 80's when the BBC badly dubbed Beverley Hills Cop so that Eddie Murphy said "Motherfunker"? How about "Sexy Brotherlover"? or "Sexy Brian Glover"? or "Sexy Lion Mother"? or "Dexy's Midnight Runners"? They all fit. "You know, you're the classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain" | |

I'm so tired of this bullshit of his. Using more adult language doesn't make you a bad person, they're just words. FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!

It ain't "It's got me paralyzed?"
Well, shit. That changes everything. No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

I suggest we all curse when we see him live the next time. I would yell out something like:
"Yeah, play that shit motherfucker!!!" Gotta scream it out during a brief moment of silence. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "
