Born and raised in Minneapolis, Prince signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19, soon releasing the albums For You (1978) and Prince (1979). He went on to achieve critical success with the influential albums Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982). His sixth album, Purple Rain (1984), was recorded with his new backing band the Revolution, and was also the soundtrack to the film of the same name in which he starred. Purple Rain garnered continued success for Prince and was a major commercial achievement, spending six consecutive months atop the Billboard 200 chart. The soundtrack also won Prince the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. After disbanding the Revolution, Prince released the album Sign o' the Times (1987), widely hailed by critics as the greatest work of his career. In the midst of a contractual dispute with Warner Bros. in 1993, he changed his stage name to the unpronounceable symbol logo. Hollow circle above downward arrow crossed with a curlicued horn-shaped symbol and then a short bar (known to fans as the "Love Symbol") and was often referred to as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (or TAFKAP) or simply The Artist.
After signing with Arista Records in 1998, Prince reverted to his original name in 2000. Over the next decade, six of his albums entered the U.S. top 10 charts. In April 2016, at the age of 57, Prince died after accidentally overdosing on fentanyl at his Paisley Park home and recording studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He was a prolific musician who released 39 albums during his life, with a vast array of unreleased material left in a custom-built bank vault underneath his home after his death, including fully completed albums and over 50 finished music videos. He also released songs under multiple pseudonyms during his life, as well as writing songs that were made popular after being covered by other musicians, most notably "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinéad O'Connor and "Manic Monday" by the Bangles. Estimates of the complete number of songs written by Prince range anywhere from 500 to well over 1,000. Released posthumously, his demo albums Piano and a Microphone 1983 (2018) and Originals (2019) both received critical acclaim.
Prince sold over 100 million records worldwide, ranking him among the best-selling music artists of all time. His awards included the Grammy President's Merit Award, the American Music Awards for Achievement and of Merit, the Billboard Icon Award, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2016, and was inducted twice into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022.

Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreaming of each other on each other's tongue
Tastes a bitter sweet undone
Now we both too sleepy to get the gun
Woo!
Oh!
(Wake up)
Woo!
Hear the plane humming back on the run
One I would sleep between 'em better than none
Promoter tried to rob 'em we said "Go 'head son!"
Because we're both too sleepy to get the gun
Pretzelbodylogic yeah, it's so much fun!
Dreaming of each other on each other's tongue
Tastes a bitter sweet undone
Now we both too sleepy to get the gun
Bank's on a holiday, credit's overrun
Somebody else's problem to tie for another one
Pull these shades one me black out the Sun
I need a little more rest, then we'll do what needs to be done!
Pretzelbodylogic yeah, it's so much fun!
Dreaming of each other on each other's tongue
Tastes a bitter sweet undone
Now we both too sleepy to get the gun
Woo!
Limo on tarmack ready to ride
Cutie-Pie driver said "Get inside!"
Another limousine about to get alone
Put your seat back now, it's one (One!) two (Two!)
Three for the road! (Three for the road!)
Pretzelbodylogic yeah, it's so much fun!
Dreaming of each other on each other's tongue
Tastes a bitter sweet undone
Now we both too sleepy to get the gun
Pretzelbodylogic yeah, it's so much fun!
Dreaming of each other on each other's tongue
Tastes a bitter sweet undone
Now we both too sleepy to get the gun
Woo!
The song "Pretzelbodylogic" by Prince and 3rdEyeGirl is a funky track that features distorted guitar riffs and fast-paced percussions. The lyrics of the song are open to interpretation, but it seems to describe a wild, carefree night where two people are wrapped up in each other and lost in their own world. The title of the song, "Pretzelbodylogic," could be interpreted as a reference to the twisted and contorted state of the two lovers' bodies as they explore each other.
The chorus of "Pretzelbodylogic" repeats the lines "Dreaming of each other on each other's tongue / Tastes a bitter sweet undone / Now we both too sleepy to get the gun." These lyrics could be interpreted as a metaphor for the passion the two lovers share. They are so consumed by each other that they forget about everything else and are now too tired to even think about anything else. The reference to the "gun" could be referring to something they planned to do, but now they are too wrapped up in each other to carry out their plan.
The bridge of the song talks about a limo on the tarmac, ready to ride. The driver tells them to get inside, and they set off on their journey. The reference to the limo could be interpreted as a symbol of luxury and indulgence. The entire song seems to be about living in the moment, indulging in pleasure, and forgetting about everything else.
