What Is Prince Talking About?

Everyone here is on board with Prince, yes? Prince is the greatest. He is the only person who can say “I sincerely wanna f**k the taste out of your mouth” and you’ll be like “well yeah, that makes sense.” But what does he really mean?

 

This is how it’s gonna be

If U wanna be with me

Ain’t no room 4 disagreein’, uh

1+1+1 is 3

In his dream, Prince is interviewing to become an elementary school math teacher. “U have 3 gold earrings and give 1 2 Apollonia. How many do U have left?” he asks, as he presents his curriculum.

So, look here

I put her on the back of my bike

And-a we went riding

Down by Old Man Johnson’s farm

Does Prince know an Old Man Johnson? Prince does not seem like the type to know an Old Man Johnson. What would Prince in overalls look like?

overalls

I’ve seen the future and it will be

BATMAN

One night after a little too much orange juice, visions of Earth’s future revealed themselves to Prince. Among the truths he saw that evening: one dance to unite all humanity. The dance? BATDANCE.

 

If u really really want to be a star

We gotta do it in your momma’s car

Prince really wants to have sex in a station wagon.

car

Admission is easy, just say U

Believe and come 2 this

Place in your heart

Paisley Park is in your heart

Elevator pitch for Prince’s amusement park, built just outside of St. Paul, Minnesota. Rides include the “Raspberry Breakdance,” “Soft and Wet Log Flume,” and  the “Little Red Corvette Bumpercars.”

 

My name is Prince and I am funky

When it come to funk I am a junky

I guess this one is just self explanatory.

 

If I came back as a dolphin

Would U listen 2 me then?

Prince has grown tired of your selective conservation efforts. Dolphins are cute, yes, but does that mean they deserve life more than sharks? More than spiders? Prince wants to know if you even understand that dolphins are voracious predators. Nature is a cruel place and chaos reins, but maybe if Prince were a dolphin you’d understand that.

Say baby, the soup tastes kinda funny

I don’t know

My skin’s crawling

It feels strange

Is this the same soup as usual?

Mmm, I don’t know

It feels strange

Prince is on an acid trip and is texting Mallory.

    In the far distant future, when the world has become a desolate wasteland, a small band of survivors remain. They are silent, hardly daring to breathe, as they hide from the monstrosity that stalks the shattered cities and fields ofd dust that are all there is left of the world.

    Then, one of them bursts out laughing. Before the monstrosity breaks in and tears them to pieces, she lifts her head. “I’m sorry,” she says, “I was just thinking about that cartoon of Prince as a dolphin.’

    Everyone nods sagely, and waits for their imminent deaths, glad to be dying wearing their tattered ‘The Toast’ garb. They were the toasties, and they are no more.

      I saved it to my work computer, where I will consult it in times of great stress.

        Later in our post-apocalypse narrative, two young women discover that only the Dolphin Prince has the power to right the wrongs they have suffered. They turn the world to an eden using its incredible power.

      I tried to explain this to my husband this morning, and he could only nod confusedly because he was making my breakfast.

      But he’ll see it. Oh, he’ll see it.

    WHERE IS THE “FUNK JUNKY” ILLUSTRATION, MATT LUBCHANSKY?! Huh?? Its exclusion is a disservice.

      everybody, ‘what’s in Prince’s fridge’ is almost as good as Prince as a Dolphin. I just snorted like a hog in the library and the lady next to me patently thinks I’m a loon. How else am I supposed to respond to the news that Prince has yak milk, pork sausage and 18 kinds of mustard in his fridge? I mean, really.

      Soooo good. I was reading it to my husband, and he says “I don’t see why this is funny” to which I replied “who the fuck has a shit-ton of Dunkaroos in their fridge?”

      The response: “I don’t know, Dunkaroos are pretty good.”

      1. Julie the T +1

        Dunkaroos are not even manufactured anymore!! Prince is a time-travelling sprite from beyond the edge of the known universe.

      And now I know that to touch Prince’s waffles, I need only magick myself into becoming REAL maple syrup.

    how can u just leave me swimmin
    alone in an ocean so cold
    this is what it sounds like
    when dolphins cry

  5. nickpavich +29

    You’re just taunting me now with the Prince thing, aren’t you Jaya? Little dolphin Princes. His tiny jumpers. His wee chalkboard. It’s like a visit from the Funky Lollipop Guild.

  6. donkeywork +17

    Will be singing all day: If I was your funky dolphin friend, would u let me dress u? I mean, help u pick out ur clothes b4 we go out? Girl I ain’t sayin’ ur helpless! I’m the one tryna put this dress on u with flippers 4 fuxsake…

    I think what we all need is a gif of Dolphin Prince playing the prince-guitar, to a midi version of Let’s Go Crazy. I don’t have that, but here is a video of Prince singing Let’s Go Crazy wherein he makes a dolphin-like squeal.

    I may be the only person who loves that Dolphin song, but I do! And all of the lyrics are amazing:

    U can cut off all my fins
    But 2 your ways I will not bend
    I’ll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim

    Need this on a Toast t-shirt NOW. Unless that would, like, get you guys into legal trouble.

    “Rave Un2 the Joy Mathematic” is my new Prince cover band. We’ll all dress up in purple overalls except for the drummer, who will wear a dolphin costume.
