The moans are not to be taken seriously, and are a great counterpoint to clue you in to prince's sense of humour - its a huge wink and nudge in the ribs.īy the time you are through that and get to the breakdown - there is an epic jazz freakout, including seagulls, cinderella clock bongs, warbling hammond organ/moog /korg(?) that rips your head off with a dirty guitar solo trading licks with the synth. I find the skit hilarious, with lots of self-deprecation, humour, spiritual expoundings, and political swipes. The narrative pulls you along, and all the instrument flourishes and breakdowns perfectly complement - including woodwind trills, flute riffs, drum fills, porn film guitar chunking, and bass workouts. Great 70s guitar-jangling funk mood with 80s tech and smut. A pop, jazz, funk, punk, and existential freakout, and a complete creative expression. There's great tension in his production, and he maintains a light touch as well. This can be on repeat 'til the end of time. The cross-fade with the traffic interlude is really cool too. The melody is another good one, Prince's melodic skills had pretty much fully developed by this point, and fleshed out with that cool synth-flute lick (soething that I feel that every other 80s R&B song hereafter ripped off) and the amazing acoustic drums - a real blast after the masterful drum programming of most of the tracks on this album, this is just a cool sounding song.įinally the "sex" bit - which gave me many a boner as a teen and is still something that I feel a bit weird about playing in front of my wife (whose one flaw is that she hates Prince and the Beach Boys), but as sexy as it is, you feel the frustration with the world and life itself, it's so poetic.
#PRINCE LADY CAB DRIVER MEANING DRIVER#
(Although I had a brief stint as a taxi driver in 1994 and, man, I sure got some weirdos.) I think that as Prince's star rose, he was becoming increasingly isolated and strange - and I think htis song is another documenting that isolation, as I feel there's always this weird detachment when you ride in a cab like you are usually on your best behaviour: it's pleasant but you don't usually relax too much.
