Well i won a pair of purple Hunters on ebay new in the box. Im getting my glasto gear ready. Prince one night and Bowie the next. I hope im not asleep by then. I need a cheap purple dress and some sparkles.

butter I remember hearing that song, and i couldn't believe what I was hearing.

There's a funny thread on prince.org about inappropriate prince lyric tattoos. I'll see if I can find it.

Shboogiebop · 17/05/2016 17:33

I used to love that song! Haven't heard it in years! For some reason I don't seem to have 1999 on tape, vinyl or cd. That's made my mind up what the next album I buy is then, gradually gonna get them all when funds permit. Can't find a live version of that song on YouTube, has anyone seen one?

ComputerBlue · 17/05/2016 17:41

Love those lyrics, Princes lyrics are just the best aren't they!

Just watched, bless you butter X

Oh butter that was yummy! Think it answered the underwear question too! Grin

Shboogiebop · 17/05/2016 21:31

Oh Butter thanks so much! Ive been listening to that song all day and I was just about to try and find it on YouTube. So so sexy! But as wonderful as his performance is I like the recorded version better cos it's even more outrageous and filthy! Wink

buttermymuffins · 17/05/2016 21:35

Yes I was thinking it solved the under crackers query. Smile I have ordered some purple pants none the less.

HRHlikeahornyponywould · 17/05/2016 22:02

These are the tattoos, it's hard to believe some are lyrics :)

HRH I only do it for a worthy cause - virginity or menopause.

And to think the Pope commented on his musical genius!
I wonder if Prince had any tattoos. I don't think so.

darlingnikki · 17/05/2016 23:06

Highly recommend watching all the versions of Shhh that are available at present. Be warned - you will need at least an hour to recover! How the audience at some of the live shows remained standing is a mystery!

TonightYoureAStar · 18/05/2016 11:55

did the pope really comment on him?

EachandEveryone · 18/05/2016 13:21

Dear god if get locked up if I wore that dress!

TonightYoureAStar · 18/05/2016 15:14

ok, interesting! love that his talent was appreciated despite the racy lyrics...or maybe even because of them Hmm

HRH that link has reminded me of more songs that I'd forgotten I knew, I recognised the naughty lyrics of Let's Pretend We 're Married. In the live version he doesn't get quite that raunchy so that's another reason why I have to buy all his albums, to get every song in it 's entirety.

Who knew I'd remember Ooh-we-sha-sha-coo-coo-yeah but I was singing along with it like I just heard it yesterday!

doraexploradora · 18/05/2016 16:19

pope didn't comment

it was an article written by a journalist in the paper owned by the vatican

lazarusb · 18/05/2016 17:39

I'd quite like an inappropriate Prince lyric tattoo to flash at family parties Grin I like 'Move that big ass round and let me work on that zipper' at the moment. That would upset my parents!

MaybeImJustTooDemanding · 18/05/2016 18:02

coco I've got The Purple Stream on facebook, it's a bit random and slightly too busy but there are some gems hidden in there

Cocolepew · 18/05/2016 18:37

Thanks I'll check it out Smile
