What songs are about Susanna? I know that Strange Relationship is. And I know that there are a few more that are speculated, but which ones are KNOWN?
Also, what was the name of the song that Prince wrote about her and then destroyed it right away after he recorded it? "So strange that no one stayed at the end of the Parade..." - Wendy & Lisa's "Song About" on their 1987 self-titled album.

"If I Was Your Girlfriend", "The Beautiful Ones", and "Forever In My Life" were about her.
The song he wrote and destroyed was called "Wally" | |

I don't know if this is true or not... but a little birdie told me that Zannalee was about Susannah.
Said her middle name is Lee (Susannah Lee Melvoin) and the "Fendi" Prince mentions was Wendy. Her name is Zannalee, I like what she do 2 me She got a sister named Fendi and they like 2 do me double-team Now I wasn't there, I have no idea... someone just told me this, I don't know if it is true or not.

Well I think it's a pretty safe bet to assume that 'Susannah's Pajamas' is about Susannah.

Isn't "Empty Room" about Susannah? I think it's safe to assume most songs circa '86-'87 were about her, no? | |

"Empty Room" - yes - it is reported to have been about their relationship after she moved out. . ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

What is that song about? Can someone post the lyrics?2 these walls I talk Tellin' 'em what I wasn't strong enough 2 say 2 these walls I talk Tellin' 'em how I cried the day U went away How did we ever lose communication? How did we ever lose each other's sound? Baby, if U wanna, we can fix the situation Maybe we can stop the rain from coming down In this bed I scream Lonely nights I lay awake thinking of U And if I'm cursed with a dream A thousand times I feel whatever I've put U through Tell me, how're we gonna put this back 2gether? How're we gonna think with the same mind? Knowing all along that life is so much better Living and loving 2gether all the time Living and loving In this bed I, in this bed I, in this bed I scream In this car I drive I'm looking 4 the road that leads back 2 the soul we shared With my very life I'd gladly be the body upon the cross we bear (Cross we bear) How did we ever lose communication? (How did we?) How did we ever lose each other's sound? (I don't know) Baby, if U wanna, we can fix the situation Maybe we can stop the rain from coming down Maybe we can't, maybe we can Stop the rain, stop the rain In this bed I, in this bed I, in this bed I scream I scream In this bed I scream The road you choose to walk in this life, is a road that leads to the next..... | |

How does this song relate to Lisa and Wendy? I can understand it being about Susannah, since that's who he was supposedly dating at the time. | |

chookalana said: Taurus said: The song he wrote and destroyed was called "Wally" Any1 know why it's called Wally? coz it's about a guy in Prince's old entourage called Wally. He destroyed it because it was too personal and emotional. Another one of his entourage, I forget who, said it was one of his greatest songs ever. | |

Read the liner notes from Emancipation. It says: "2 Wendy and Lisa and Susannah." He was dating Susannah in '86, Emancipation came out 10 years later in '96, so he was not dating Susannah at the time of writing "In This Bed  Scream."Lovesexy Funkateer | |
