Shockadelica wasn't "about" Jesse, but more of an "jab" at Jesse for not having a song for the title of his album of the same name.

Yeah, Prince says every great album has a great song of the same name.


Yep. He semi-ripped Jesse for not having a title-album-song and decided to fuck with him and do a song by that same name. Prince is a little stinker LOL.

Nothing Compares 2 U was written for his then personal assistent, whom's name I forgot.

2Morrow was written from the perspective of an unknown member of the NPG, who had a crush on Cory, the girl from the Love4oneanother Experience.

319 was inspired by Elizabeth Berkley's character in Showgirls.

An Honest Man was inspired by Kristin Scott-Thomas' character in Under The Cherry Moon.

Peach; Mayte. Doh.

Little Red Corvette was written in the back of Lisa's car. So she somewhat inspired the songtitle.

Where did I read that Private Joy was about Susan Moonsie?

I suppose he gave credits to the peeps on the Vanity/Apollonia albums to the persons he wrote the song for/about, right?
So Drive Me Wild was for Susan Moonsie, Nasty Girl and Sex Shooter for Vanity

Noon Rendezvous was specially written with Sheila in mind, as was Bedtime Story.

Not all songs are actually about someone. Sometimes sumthing just sounds good. Sexy MF has something to do with Leve Seacer Jr. He came up with a lick for the song, or the actual title, ayedunno. But as far as I know it was not specifically written for someone.

Yeah, but only Sheila was a protege'.


Mimi said 'women he was with'. As Kim Basinger was named, I thought the rest of his non-singing women were fair game too.

Susan Moonsie certainly WAS a protege in BOTH ways. I hear Mayte was too. Duuno. I feel a 'whatever' coming up.

cool

Isn't it just fun to know who was Prince's Muse for everything he ever did?

I loved how some of the lyrics of Crystal Ball were linked back to Susannah's painting on a wall in their house.

I agree.I'm also not entirely convinced that "When Doves Cry" was written about Susan Moonsie.I also don't truly believe that "The Beautiful Ones" was written about Susannah Melvoin.Prince was filming a movie back then....I think his main priority was writing songs that would fit the film's storyline.

And how do we know that "I Hate U" was about Carmen? confuse I think alot of these stories are just Princely myths,lol.



I ONLY QUESTION B/C PRINCE WRITES SO MUCH MATERIAL SO FREQUENTLY. HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT WAS WRITTEN WHEN AND FOR WHO? HE COULD HAVE VERY WELL WRITTEN DOVES AND BEAUTIFUL ONES AROUND THE SAME TIME LONG B4 MELVOIN OR MOONSIE. DO THE LYRICS COME 1ST PERHAPS? MOST SONGS COULD BE FOR HIS WOMEN OR THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SONGS INTENDED TO BE PERFORMED BY ANOTHER ARTIST. HE JUST 2 MYSTERIOUS TO EVER KNOW 4 SURE AND I LIKE THAT ABOUT HIM. But I do hope DOVES was written for Susan M cuz there's something 'bout her that fits that song. hmm
yes I agree. to a point.

Troy Beyer is not that tall. Couldn't be.

She looked shorter than Prince standing next to him in the Sexy MF video. 4 foot 8 maybe.

who was Come On written about? I love that song. lol



The album was in part dedicated to Manuella. She also appeared in the video... (man she looked so young there... like a college student).

Anyway... I always thought that song was for Manuella.

Also Call My Name was probably for Mani... he actually talked about carrying across the threshold of their home in Toronto.. "on Bridal path... bridal lane.".. whatever it was called. lol
