If I Was Your Girlfriend: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 99 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Christy Norman from The Mountains & the Sea and Killer Fun podcasts returns to the show to offer her perspective on the at times romantic, but mostly troubling, and brilliant “If I Was Your Girlfriend” off Sign o’ the Times. This BIG IMPORTANT PRINCE SONG deserves all the attention we give it and then some. This song is truly a piece of art.

The goal of each episode of Press Rewind is to:

  • Discuss my own interpretation of each song’s lyrics along with any guest I may have
  • If submitted, discuss listener’s interpretations of each song’s lyrics

U Got the Look: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 98 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Jerry Bonner and I dive into the heck-a-slammin’ hit single from the Sign o’ the Times album, “U Got the Look.” This fun, silly, pop-rock smash featured Sheena Easton on co-vocals, Sheila E’s timbales, and a memorably humorous music video, but what are the lines from this song that everyone seems to recall all these years later? Listen to find out!

I had the honor of creating my own #PrinceTwitterThread for “U Got the Look” last year. I’ve included a link to my thread here.

Forever In My Life: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 97 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Eloy Lasanta joins me to talk about the lyrics to the simple on the surface, but actually complex ballad “Forever In My Life.” Whether you prefer the original Sign o’ the Times album version, the Sign o’ the Times Super Deluxe “Early Vocal Run-Through” version with additional instrumentation, or the compelling, gospel stylings that Prince exhibited on the Sign o’ the Times concert movie, this track is a stand-out no matter what!

Make sure to check out Eloy’s Prince’s Friend YouTube channel to get your Prince fix on that social media platform. Listen to Eloy’s musical endeavor, Strays of the World, anywhere you stream music. Physical copies of the debut album, In My Head, can be purchased directly from the Strays website or on Bandcamp.

Since I big-up Erica Thompson’s #PrinceTwitterThread on “Forever In My Life,” I’ve included a link to her thread here.
