I know that someone explained this on JPP once, and I think it's just an expression for a pretty girl....but I might be wrong . _________________ Sarah

No guys... its is something else..in a concert jk asked the audiencce "everybody knows what pretty pollys are ? and then he said lets have a look at them... offcourse this was a audio bootleg, so no idea I'm guessing that he was refering to girls...but still, can someone from the UK explain the context of it..

There's an old story about a girl named Pretty Polly, but I don't think Jay made that literal reference in this song. _________________ www.dee34.wordpress.com

He said something like this at B-Live, I distinctly remember. All I can find is this:

1. pretty polly
Money, cash. Originally from "A Clockwork Orange".

but as far as $$ being an electric mistress...? Rolling Eyes
