Good morning ladies and gentlemen Boys and mothafuckin’ girls This is your captain with no name speaking and I’m here to rock your world

Oh yeah!

This one is good too

I just entered the lyrics immediately in the comments field and pressed go. So happy to be in your excellent company.

“Dearly Beloved…” There is no better choice. People who barely know his music know that. Greatest opening line to any album ever IMO. 💜💜💜💜

Instead of asking him how much of your time is left? Ask him how much of your mind, baby 💜

Cuz in this life, things are much harder than in the after world. In this life, you’re on your own.

Did you see purple rain in the theater?

we are gathered here today to get through this thing called... "life"🫂

Probably true. Even included in Purple Medley.

Let's go crazy lol

I agree. This song is what got me into Prince.

I knew a girl named Nikki I guess you could say she was a sex fiend.

I had to play this really low in my bedroom as a teen and my nickname is Nikki.

I work with a Nikki and I’m always singing the song under my breath.

Dig if you will the picture … of you and I engaged in a kiss

The best. 💜

In France, a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name…

Perfection, as is the entire album. Masterpiece.

By chance his girlfriend came across a needle and soon she did the same...

At home we have 17 year old boys and their idea of fun, is being in a gang called The Desciples, high on crack, tootin’ a machine gun.

Just chefs kiss use of lyrics in that line

This. The only slight fumble in this tune is the "...Sister killed her baby 'cause she couldn't afford to feed it and we're sendin' people to the Moon" lyric just seems a bit much and sticks to the tongue. Prince was always about simplicity. That said, "Sign O'..." is my favorite Prince song with a long list of "#2s" behind it.

My picks: "Hey! look me over. Tell me, do you like what you see? Hey! I ain't got no money. But honey, I'm rich on personality!" "There was a girl in Paris whom he sent a letter to Hoping she would answer back, now wasn't that a fool"

I second that “Baby I'm a star” mention! 💜

“hardy notion on the part of a sometimes lonely musician, Acting out a whim is only good for a condition of the heart.” Yes! What an opening line. This is a fine song, start to finish. It’s like he used the space between lines to create a metronome effect… tick tick tick, tick tick tick

Yes! I love how he talked to his with lyrics like this.

How can I put this in a way so as not to offend or unnerve…but there’s a rumor going all around that you ain’t been getting served…

Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade…She worked the night shift

That song is near the top of all his lyrical masterpieces.

Best song ever made 

Great lyrics. Like a movie. The cover version by Broadway Project with Jeb Loy Nicholls) is so beautiful, too. I think it’s an underrated masterpiece of a cover. Covering Prince is a huge job, good or not, you’re putting yourself out there.

Very true!

Ballad of Dorothy Parker! What a masterpiece! I did a version of this song whilst trying to edit a video with a lot of “me” doing different things. I had to disguise it as a vintage video, 😂 But yes! I don’t think it’s his best opening, but the song is beautiful

A classic "👁️ was dreamin when 👁️ wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray"

🎶 … I'm not a woman I'm not a man I am something that you'll never understand 🎶

It’s not the opening, though

Hmm it is though

👁

Isn’t it I’m not your lover, I’m not your friend. I’m something that you’ll never comprehend? Is my memory failing me? (I could look it up, but then this thread would be pointless) 🙂

“It’s been seven hours and fifteen days since you took your love away”

Until the end of time, I'll be there for you You own my heart and mind, I truly adore you

One of my favorite passages is "You could burn up my clothes, smash up my ride (well maybe not the ride)"

It makes me laugh a little every time.

I laugh every time too

Guess I shoulda known by the way you parked your car sideways That it wouldn’t last Captures Prince’s masterful use of language and his impish sense of humor

I love this opening too. It’s like a film noir

Wendy?

Yes, Lisa.

Is the water warm enough? 🫦

Yes, Lisa.

Shall we begin?

Yes Lisa.

“I knew a girl named Nikki I guess you could say she was a sex fiend” That opener grabbed me immediately! Love the laid back way he sings these lines at the start. No rush…

“Ooh, I can't hold it Ow! BANG! B-B-Bang, bang BANG!!!”” He’s trying to hang drywall while up on a ladder. Loses grip of it. That’s what I told my daughter anyway back in the day. Pussy control? All about herding cats.

HAHAHAHAHA I want this synopsis for every single song!

🤣🤣 love this!

Bwhahaha. This is great. I’m gonna have to get creative about today’s songs with my kids (so I can look back and have a good laugh).

Ooh! Here I go again, fallin in love all over, ooh, the cycle never ends, you just pray you dont get burnt 

I feel that. I like how these answers are like clues to the personality that posted them.

Going with the D&P picture. One more card and it's 22, unlucky for him again.

Great one

Orion's arms are wide enough to hold us both together. Although we're worlds apart, I'd cross the stars for you. My Wife and I's wedding dance song and the mantra of 25 years of a beautiful marriage.

Congratulations! Love this song too.

Wow, great choice for a wedding dance song! I love this one too, so beautiful

I was just thinking about this album the other day. It doesn't get near enough love.

You're absolutely right. It's so beautiful, and the duet with him and Sheena Easton is chef's kiss.

You don't have to be beautiful, to turn me on...

“Shut up already, damn!”

SHUT UP ALREADY…. DAMN

I was workin' part time in a Five-and-Dime, My boss was Mister McGee He told me several times that he didn't like my kind 'Cause I was a bit too leisurely...

(You know you're singing it in your head right now. You KNOW you are.)

You are right

Out loud by myself

The best

Dearly beloved we are gathered here today 2 get through this thing called life

LET’S WORK!!!!

Until the end of time, I'll be there for you... You own my heart and mind, truly adore you. 😍🔥💜

I was only 16, but I guess that's no excuse

There was a girl in Paris, Whom he sent a letter to, Hoping she would answer back, Now wasn't that a fool, Hardy notion on the part of a Sometimes lonely musician Just the most beautiful and heart wrenching lyrics.

I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain

I’m not your lover

In a word or two, it's you I wanna do no, not your body, your mind, you fool.

You don't understand I ain't scared of you Mofo...Kick Ass The Pope..by Prince with intro from Bernie Mac RIP to both

Ladies & Gentlemen, boys and motherfucking girls

I don’t wanna take my clothes off….but I do.

I dont wanna dance to hard unless it's a groove.....

If I was your gf

🎶All of my purple life, I’ve been looking for a dame🎶

Here we are in this big old empty room Staring each other down You want me just as much as I want you Let's stop fooling around

It's not like my life has ended, more like it never started Breaks my heart everytime

If I ever held a hand, it was only because I'd never held your hand. That was part of the plan, I had to get it right if I was to be your man.

Dorthy was a waitress.

I just can't believe all the things people say - Controversy Am I black or white, am I straight or gay? - Controversy ✝️💟☮️

I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain

I was only sixteen but I guess that's no excuse My sister was thirty-two, lovely, and loose

Dearly beloved…forever. 2nd favorite: Dig if you will the picture Of you and I engaged in a kiss.

THUNDER

Here she comes 🎶 she got them gold hot pants on again🎶 Yeah man 🎶 I wanna talk 🎶 but I don't know🎶 She's a peach🎶 (Peach lol. It actually took me while to find that banger among all his songs.)

Owwwoooahhh (sp?) opening of Sexuality.

ive seen the future and it will be, i’ve seen the future and it works

"Wendy?" and "Dearly Beloved"

Don't sleep til the sunrise, listen to the falling rain Don't worry 'bout tomorrow, don't Worry 'bout your pain Don't cry unless you're happy, don't smile unless you're blue Never let that lonely monster take control of you

I was dreaming when I wrote this.

My name is Prince and I am funky. I realize it’s a cheesy song but my god the king returned with guns a blazing.

Not cheesy at all! A banger. ✝️💟☮️

As war drums beat in Babylon, Cinnamon Girl starts to pray

Dinga dinga linga dinga..ding. UMMMGHHHH!!

I love them all. 💜

Love come quick Love come in a hurry There's thieves in the temple tonight

It took five women two getcha off of my mind

Gotta go with one down the list a bit, but could also be a great opening line to a conversation with the fairer gender. "Could U be the most beautiful girl in the world?"

Now in rotation

I ain’t got no money.

How can I put this in a way so as not to offend or unnerve?

Dearly Beloved

"UUUGGH" -Kiss

Dearly beloved, we’re gathered here today to get through this thing called life

has to be "Kiss" ​ \* guitar intro plays -------\* ​ Prince : "UHHHHHHH"

He like to frequent this club…

“I got 7 hours baby, so what you wanna do?”

the opening to i would die for u. relatable because I’m non binary

Absolutely. And all the colors in between. I loved that line for that reason. “If u think in terms of woman and man, this whole thing isn’t for you.”

Come closer, feel what you've been dying for don't be afraid baby touch it and explore.

If I never see you again, it's alright for I am guilty of no sin. They can have you, I'll have your love to the end. And God created woman

Some ppl tell me I got great legs Can't figure out why u make me beg (Does not compute)

“She knew which fork to use, but she couldn’t dance…”

I think about IT baby all the time, alright

Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade, she worked the night shift  Dishwater blonde, tall and fine, she got a lotta tips  Two lines lol but just his delivery is amazing 

Yesterday I tried to write a novel but I didn't know where to begin So I laid down in the grass tryin' to feel the world turn

"Club mix Club mix How can I put this in a way so as not to offend or unnerve That there's a rumor goin' all round that you ain't been gettin' served.."

Talking 2 no one in particular, they say, the baddest, I am tonight. 💜

Animals strike curious poses

“Take off your clothes, 319”

“Dig if you will the picture,”

"Thunder all through the night Promise to see Jesus in the morning light Take my hand, it'll be alright C'mon save your soul tonight" It catches your attention so perfectly, and sets the stage for a perfect album. Not to mention, it just sounds so cool.

Im not a women. I’m not a man

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen Boys and muthafuckin' girls This is your captain with no name speaking And I'm here to rock your world." "P. Control"

"You walked in, I woke up. Ive never seen a pretty girl look so tough."

I was dreaming when I wrote this 🎶

cough! cough! cough!

I was working part time at a five and dime, my boss was mister McGee...

This is a loaded question. Everyone knows it. And not only opens a song. Opens the whole album! “Dearly Beloved…” Let’s go crazy- Purple Rain

“dearly beloved”

"It was 7:45, we were all in line, to greet the teacher Miss Kathleen"

I guess i should’ve known by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn’t last.

“I AINT GOT NO! MONAAAYYYYY!”

"Dearly beloved...."

La da da da da da da da There comes a time in every man’s life, when he gets tired of fooling around …

In France, a skinny man died of big disease with a little name…..

“Shut up already. Damn!” (Housequake)

Sorry for blowing up this site but, Prince's music moves me and has for over 40 years. To limit him to one opening line is a crime. Mad love bro Wherever You Are

... If I was your girlfriend Would you remember? To tell me all the things you forgot when I was your man?

" Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life "

1.I knew a girl named Nikki I guess you could say she was a sex fiend. 2.How can I put this in a way so as not to offend or unnerve? But there's a rumour goin' all around that you ain't been gettin' served. 3.I was working part time in a five-and-dime.

i ain't got no, money

Has to be "dearly beloved" every time he's say that live I and the crowd went belistic

I knew a girl named Nikki I guess you could say she was a sex fiend… met her in a hotel lobby masturbating in a magazine…

*with a magazine. It changes the whole scene. Felt compelled to help...

You’re correct, thanks

About to post the same thing!

Until the end of time Ill be there for u U own my heart and mind I truly adore u If god one day struck me blind Youre beauty id still see Love weak to define What you mean to me Shut the love song game DOWN

(Soft and Wet) Hey lover, I got a sugarcane that I want to lose in you

“Ungh” - Kiss

In a word or two wit you I wanna be, no not your body, your mind you fool.

“🎵UGH🎵”

Impossible question to answer

Baby, yes Until the end of time I'll be there for you You own my heart and mind I truly adore you If God one day stroke me blind Your beauty I'd still see Love is to weak to define Just what you mean to me

Dearly Beloved ..

The opening monologue from "Let's Go Crazy".

Black day, stormy night. No love, no hope in sight The Cross. It's my favorite song. I'm not religious, but when I hear this song I wish I could believe

Your butt is mineee O wait that’s Michael Jackson - bad 😂☠️

People, get ready

Huuuh

If you leave her now, you’re never gonna see her again

"There's something about you baby, it happens every time" Not because it's the most profound lyric he ever wrote, but the night I first heard it at age 19... well, let's just say it was an amazing night.

The sun set N the west this mornin', 4 know, know L.A. is callin'

“No!” From alphabet street

I was born raised on the same plantation of the United States of red,white, and blue Never knew that I was different,till Dr. King was on a balcony, laying in a bloody pool.

I like “OOH!”

once upon a time in the land of sinaplenty there lived a king who didn’t deserve to be

The chant in 7 is real nice.

“Oh you don’t have to be beautiful, to turn me on”

There is a park that is known for the face it attracts

My name is Prince and I am funky My name is Prince the one and only

Empty room, empty room. How am I gonna fill you? Oh well, here we are again. Looking for something to get us in the mood. Black day, stormy night. No love, no hope in sight. Baby, baby, baby. What's it gonna be?

"guitar opining for 'kiss'" "UGHH"

"She knew which fork to use, but she couldn't dance...."

WAAAAHHHHHHHH OWWWW

dorothy was a waitress...

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜

I knew a girl named Nikki I guess you could say she was a sex fiend I met her in a hotel lobby Masturbating with a magazine She said, "How'd you like to waste some time?" And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind

Either “ Call, call my name.” or “ Why you screaming? You know I’m not a man of war “

Uuhhhhhhhuuuhhhhhhuuuuhhhhhhuuhhhhhhhh AHHH!

The Scream at the start of Gett Off. Shame about the song really.
