i always thought it was "we can SUP until the dawn", and it was about how they were having a nice big dinner at a fancy restaurant in erotic city.

This has been debated for years, my aunts used to argue this very thing when I was 5 years old. I remember because I left the room saying; "fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck..." my grandmother heard me, passed out and then kicked my ass when she became conscious again. My aunts got their ass' kicked and their Prince CD's snatched. And there began my obsession with Prince. nod

You've heard this on the radio?!

eek

Lucky you.


You've never heard this on the radio?

I was in New Orleans (about three weeks ago) and they played it.

They used the word "fuck". I was surprised and pleased that they didn't edit it out.

It was jammin'!

They both say "fuck". I think some versions either edit it out entirely or use the word "funk".

I think he's playing with words, and they say both fuck and funk at different times at the song.

nod Exactly. Sounds like Prince says "funk" and 'fuck" at different times during the song. Sheila mostly sticks with "funk" but you can hear her say "fuck" a few times it sounds like-most notably towards the end at 2:09 in. censored

But hell, we could all be hearing things. confuse Even lyric websites mention the same debate, so sounds like only Prince knows for sure.

Yes, otherwise it makes no sense:

We can fuck it till the dawn, making love to Cherry's gong (that'd be her pussy)

insert funk and it's goobledygook.



Making Love Til Cherry's GONE.

AS IN, VIRGIN. AS IN, BUST A CHERRY. GONE. It's GONE. Good bye.

Gong? What the hell are you thinking?

It's: making love 'til Cherry's gone.

I just listened to it and my stance is the same. Sheila says funk, Prince says fuck.


I thought i was crazy when people posted "Gong" and I'm thinking have I been sing "Cherry's GONE" for the past 20 years?!!!
