The song "Cream" by Prince and the New Power Generation is all about celebrating self-confidence, independence and sexual freedom. The song encourages the listener to take charge of their own desires and to believe in themselves. Prince sings about embracing your individuality and breaking away from societal norms. The lyrics suggest that you should never settle for anything less than you deserve and to live life on your own terms. The opening lyrics of the song set the tone for the entire track, expressing that it is now the moment to go for it and take chances.
The chorus of the song is where it gets really catchy and emphasizes the main message of self-empowerment. The repeated phrase "Cream, get on top" is a reference to sexual positions but also a metaphor for being on top of your game in life. The phrase "Sha boogie bop" is a nonsensical phrase that adds to the fun and playful vibe of the song. The lyrics encourage the listener to dance and live in the moment.
Overall, "Cream" is a fun, upbeat track that urges the listener to embrace their individuality and live life to the fullest.

Ten years before this video was made, I was a truck driver on the Purple Rain Tour. Prince treated us like royalty, what a class act.

My wife was an Immigration Officer when Prince came through Gatwick. He refused to answer any of the questions that have to be answered. Minders tried to do it for him! Another side to the genius.
