2) The Rebels were a 60's garage rock band from Iran.
Before Prince formed The Time, he considered using his backing band as a side-project called The Rebels. The 1979 project was a group effort, with songs being written and sung by the various members. Andre Cymone and Dez Dickerson each contributed material and a few numbers were sung by Gayle Chapman. The project was eventually shelved but two of the songs composed by Prince were re-recorded and released much later: "If I Love U 2 Night" by Mica Paris (and later by Prince's wife-to-be Mayte Garcia) and "U" by Paula Abdul. The original Prince guide vocal for "If I Love U 2 Nite" appeared by mistake on the rare Mica Paris 'Stand For Love' EP, of which only a handful exist.
3) The Rebels were the Prague (Czech republic) group, founded in July 1967 Korn (vocals, guitar) and Svatopluk Cech, brother Frantisek Ringo Cech (vocals, bass guitar). The Rebels played in the "west-coast style" with elements of "Britain's Mersey sound".

The Rebels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cos she's becoming like a Doll
And I don't wanna see her change
And I don't wanna take her pill
I've got a problem with a Doll
BUT I WANT U!!
HEY! You gonna be mine?
Are you gonna love me forever?
HEY! You coming around?
It's a beautiful sound
Or am I gonna be waiting forever?
HEY! You gonna be down?
It's a beautiful sound
Cos I want you to love me forever!
I've got a problem with a Doll
Cos she ain't running like a girl
I wanna give that girl my heart
But she just wanna love a star
I've got a problem with a Doll
BUT I WANT U!!!!
HEY! You gotta be mine!
Gotta give me your time!
Cos you gotta love me forever!
HEY! You gotta come down!
Quit messing around
Or you're gonna be faking forever!
HEY! You gotta be down
Gotta be more profound
Or you are gonna be waisting forever!
I see you falling like a Doll
And I don't know
If I can stand to see you fall
And you can't, no
You should've loved me with your soul
But she can't, no
You should've loved me with your HEART
I've got a problem with a Doll
But now, she's running through my veins
I've got a problem with a Doll
Cos I don't wanna feel her pain
I've got a problem with a Doll
I DON'T WANT U!!!!!!
HEY! You could've been mine
Could've taken my time
Could've been something real that's forever
HEY! You could've been down
Been a beautiful sound
Yeah! We could've been loving forever
HEY! You're so fucking vain
And you're just not the same
As the girl I was loving forever!
I see her love me like a Doll
And she don't know
I tried to love her with my heart
Now you feel low
She rips my skin and soul apart
And it hurts so
She should've loved me with her HEART
The Rebels' song, The Doll, is about having a problem with someone who has changed into something they were not before, in this case, a doll. The lyrics show that the singer is worried about the person changing and becoming someone else without their knowledge or consent. The singer is trying to convince the person that they are worthy of their love and that it is not too late for them to change their mind. The chorus repeats the same question in different ways, asking if the person will love them forever or if they will keep on waiting for nothing.
The song displays a lot of passion and emotion in its lyrics, with the singer expressing their love and concern for the person who has turned into a doll. The singer tries to convince the person that their love is genuine and that they deserve better than what they are settling for. The lyrics show that the singer is hurt by the fact that the person they love has changed and is no longer the same person they once knew.
