is Sheila saying "fuck" or "funk" until the dawn, making love til cherry's gone?
if it's funk, why do they always do that backspin thing on the word when it's played on the radio?
just wondering...

fuck

TheFrog said:

hmm..i thought so..but what does Prince... say fuck or funk...it sounds like he says funk and they never backspin his part..but why would one person say funk and the other say fuck?
just wondering...

According to what I've heard, Sheila is say funk and prince is saing fuck.

Some stations let it go claiming the word is "funk," while others don't. The station I hear it on mutes out the word entirely.

Alicia Keys said it was funk?
I'll stick with her

i'm not sure who posted it, but i remember seeing on these boards a quote from an interview with Sheila E, i think, where she remembered balking at the fact she had to say fuck.

something like that. i'm sure boris or lange will put us straight.

It's Fuck, but the radio version sounds like Funk!?


"Sex is not all I think about... It's just all I think about u!"

Are you people insane?

This is from the guy who recorded, "I Sincerely Want To Fuck the Taste Out Of Your Mouth"

Hell YES he is saying Fuck. And so is Sheila E.

TheFrog said:

I remember that quote as well, and right after it she said she used the word funk instead.

It's "Fuck" (Prince and Sheila both say it)

BorisFishpaw said:

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.

this from a man who wrote a song about starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam..hmmm



BUT at the RRHOF induction, didn't Big Boi say something like "I don't care what anybody say, I think he said the F word?"...meaning the right response was funk?

It's fuck! end of discussion. The UK 12" of Let's Go Crazy has a sticker on it warning listeners that Erotic City has sexually explicit lyrics.

they're sayin both funk and fuck..listen 2 it again u'll c.

BorisFishpaw said:

It has to be FUCK! Besides that has a nice ring to it.

That's got to be one of the weirder interpretations of the lyrics that I've heard.
Cherry's gong?

And remember there is a song that goes "let's just go somewhere we can funk," so i do think funk makes sense. Funk is a versatile word, much like fuck is.

Not that I know what he says in erotic city. Sounds like either word to me.

Spookymuffin said:

then there is also the debate of:

fuck so pretty u and me v. thoughts of pretty u and me.

might as well cover it all at once.

madartista said:

i always thought it was fuck so pretty..never heard it any other way...of course i thought he was talking bout giant spiders in "7", so what the hell do i know?

Spookymuffin said:

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.

You've heard this on the radio?!



Lucky you.

I've heard that song like hundreds of times and it always sounds like fuck to me

FUNK FUNK FUNK!!!!!

Yall ain't listening to it good enough.

IT's : We can CRUNK until the Dong.

And : Hunk's er so pretty, but U and me,
Our ugly faces need a aliby,
We can CRUNK until the Dong.
Makin Love with our Mauhaung


Go listen to it again.
