Back in the days before the witnesses got ahold of him, Prince was singing about the body being the temple of the Holy Spirit.

The "thieves" are the inner demons that we battle on a daily basis. He was asking for "Love come quick, Love come in a hurry."

In other words, Love is God, God is Love, he's asking God to save him from his inner demons, or "thieves in the temple."

Maybe that's just my opinion, but that's what I always took this song to mean. Anyone else get a different interpretation?

"2 7s 2gether"...

Anybody? What does it mean?

Is it referring to 1977? The song is about looking back and this would make sense, but is there another explanation?

Okay, I am so ashamed, the only thing i can think of comes from G-Spot. Each stanza(?) is a letter to the word F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. For example

F is for Frustration
I is Instigation
N is for the Naked body
A is for America
L is for Location
L is for the Lust we share
Y is for my Yearning

I love Thieves in the Temple! Anyone know what 7 is in the song "7"? I always assumed it was the 7 deadly sins, but what do I know

I always thought it was about the 7 world powers mentioned in the bible book of revelation. These nations will all 'fall' b4 god's kingdom rules again.

Not a hidden message but at the end of "La La La He He Hee" ext. vrs. a few seconds after the song is over he says "Play that back"

Also at the end of "Rock Hard In A Funky Place" when it fades back in and then out again he says "What kind of f*ck ending was that?"

Lastly, if you play the phrase "Paisley Park" backwards it sounds like either "God/Love is here" You can hear it really well on the 12" at the beginning with the Wendy & Lisa intro...

Peace, Serveitupfrankie*

I'll start with the first ones that come to my head:

-Alphabet St video: Hidden messages are "Don't buy the Black Album", "H is for Punks", ???

Where in Alphabet St. is the black album message? I have found additional ones: "Heaven is so Beautiful" when the large B pops up on screen. "dance 4 the light" when the small d appears later, and for a split frame, i mean fast, "God is Love".

You mean flower"s" on Lovesexy right. The petals are supposed to be vagina's and the one full flower to the left has a penis head smack dab in the middle of it.

The the "1" on the 1999 cover is also a phallic symbol.

No, that's not actually a penis head, thats the way the pistil of that flower actually looks. But it does *resemble* a penis head...

Nitpick, nitpick..

If you slow down the voice on the telephone in Bob George, it says "Operator, what city please?".

I was told this was an old stock recording from a boxing match.

Nep2nes said:

I know what the real flowers look like. You need to look again. The "pistil" in the center of one of the flowers on the Lovesexy cover is a penis head. Your not nickpicking. Your just wrong in this case.

I was just listening to "Slave"...i have never heard the evil laughing and the crying going on at the same time at the end of the song. Cool
