about

One of the things I tried and failed to do with this project is to come up with my best shot at something Prince might have written in his 80's heyday. This song was my last go 'round with that little mini-goal, and as happened all the other times I tried it, I got to a moment of panic where I realized that I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE A PRINCE SONG, and even if I did know how, I CAN'T SING ONE.

Soooo... I was left with... making what I had so far the goofiest thing imaginable. It's embarrassing that the guy at 2:45 saying "I saw her booby" makes me laugh until I cry, but... he does.

If this song proves anything, it's that while my body may now be 40 years old, my mind is still that of an eleven-year-old.

lyrics

Baby, baby what U done?
U lent it out 2 Everyone
Now the price is far 2 High
Can't make the payments -
Won't even try

Usury ain't yer friend

I'd like a...
I'd like a...
I'd like me a grilled-cheese sammitch
