for the type of song it is, i have to say that it's one of his better efforts.


i mean, compared to We Gets Up or Get Yo Groove On or I Rock There4 I Am or Push It Up or Freaks On This Side, it's a fucking masterpiece.

Okayh, the song at times sounds tacky, even though it's got my fave beat of the entire album. Indeed, the horn sounds a bit...Jughead.

But I like the vocal intro. Alot.

Like I told them... if you think this sounds like a reference to MJ, the nest thing you're going to say is: "When Doves Cry" is about a dove crying and "Little Red Corvette" is about a little red car.

Ohmigod you are SOOOOO right. WDUWM2D is totally unlike anything Prince has ever done. Life of the Party is completely 100% different than anything he's ever done. Pimp on the other hand sounds like absolutely everything he's ever done. Hint: The last 4 sentences are is sarcastic as they wanna be.

put down the needle, put down the spoon.

RRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGGG! Schools out.

Somebody once misquoted the "nose" bit as having the line "That's the other guy." But it's not in there, at least not on my copy. I think people started assumming it was in there, which would kinda point to MJ.

I like the beat, and the horns, and (his) vocal style. Lukewarm on Candy and the bridge part in the middle. Hate the stupid, corny "goodie for you" lyrics. Still, better than "Get Yr Groove On" by a looooongshot.

I reckon he does say Bully for you, but the transcriber for the booklet made a mistake (read that as another mistake).
After all, "Bully for you" actually makes sense. "Goody for you" means nothing.


What? I guess I have to make a Dr. appointment to get my hearing checked. Prince is clearly saying "goodie for you." And even if he wasn't, it sure doesn't sound like "bully."

I don't have the store bought CD so I haven't seen the printed lyrics, I am going strictly off of what I hear. Play the song with headphones and then tell me he's saying bully. Goodie for you makes perfect sense. What would bully for you mean?

You guys are a trip. "Life 'O' The Party" is probably the best song on Musicology... besides "Reflection."

3. Where does he say "Bully for you?"

"So you're having a party... goodie for you!"

it means the same thing. we'd much sooner say "goody for you" than "bully for you"
