Great song,but why is Sheena so stiff in the video? She needed a choreographer or something!

Now did Prince write that song as Jamie Starr or Alexander Nevermind?

Alexander Nevermind

At the time,he was pissed at Alexander O'Neal and this was his way of "geting back" at him

So, funny. I have been listening to a Prince-related CD that I made in my car for the past three days. I have been listening to Sugar Walls and Cool Love back-to-back. Yo Mister by Patti has gotten a lot of play on that CD this week too. Oh, and some of the Martika tunes.

When I first heard this jam on the radio and the DJ said "Sheena Easton", I thought he meant to say "Sheila E" because I couldn't see this being the same lady that did "Morning Train".

yeah people tripped and accused Prince of "tainting" the cutesy australian burgeoning pop songtress. he just funked her up and made a sexy classic.

Sheila E....Sheena Easton

uhmm...she would be Scottish.

I would love to hear the original demo of this... is that out on there somewhere?

blood races to your private spots
lets me know that there's a fire
You can't fight passion when pasion is hot
temperatures rise inside my Sugar Walls

What exactly is the keyboard player doing at 00.12? Ha ha!

Good fun song.

Where was this produced? I mean, is this Prince playing too?

I seem to remember this being on Bevis and Butthead once, when they commented "I like Prince - he always makes his women look like whores"

"It's alright" 2.08 - nice!

He wrote and produced it and played all the instruments.I'm sure it was recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles.

I remember something that Black Beat magazine said about this song:

We love the track,but we have to wonder....why didn't he give this groove to one of his own proteges,namely Apollonia 6,who aren't exactly burning up the charts?

Did you know that Alexander was supposed to be the lead singer of The Time? He got into a bitter argument with Prince over money and Morris Day (the drummer) was given the job as lead singer.

SoulAlive said:

Ha! Prince wasn't daft - he probably liked the song and knew if A6 did it, it would sink without a trace. Same reason he gave Manic Monday to the Bangles.

(My apologies if your was ironic!)
