(No Tipper Gores' allowed) Thank you!

How many of us have ever been raped by our lover?"as a word of expression",it's the best!Or should I say pounced by a woman? It's saying come here YOU! U're movin too slow for my appetite! Here I'll help you! That's all the song is sayin "you're so hot I can't wait to have you"

That sounded like pain to you? Sounded like a woman getting a strong dose of cockage put to her and she realized she was in a bit over her head.

I can't stand Tipper Gore, what a dumb first name! I call her "Tipper Whore" after she made such a big fuss over the "Darling Nikki" song lyrics. What a bitch!

Tiffypoo2004 said:

I don't think it was a rape...I just think they were doing it right (as Dave Hill said in his book)

CreamyThighs said:

Because the song was originally intended for a female vocalist to sing. It would have been a different thing, the sort of daring thing you might think would be still cool. Those are just prince's cue vocals that were meant to be replaced by Vanity, and had he chosen to make a version of his own for a future relese (since the track is so strong and doesn't appear on any of his proteges' albums, it seems like he just put this track aside, and then forgot about it), he would have edited a lot out of the track anyway.

No, it wasn't.

Although the song was a strong contender for inlusion on the Vanity 6 album (and indeed was recorded during the Sunset Sound sessions that yielded most of the material on Vanity 6) the track was originally recorded by Prince without intending to place it on any particular configuration, be it on a protegee album or an album under his name.

I'm just desperately trying to make excuses here.

Tiffypoo2004 said:

With this, it's not even about facts. it's about opinion. And how something may strike someone. Cab Driver, when released, that part with Prince and Jill, was seen by many as violent. Sure, it's obvious that P is sticking to Jill, with the moans and all. All I was refering to was the "violent element" during that section, mixed in with the sex. Some may see it as just sex sounds. And that's cool. But it's not at all about getting their facts straight.

blackguitaristz said:

yeah ur right different strokes for different folks. some people interpretation of that part is different my bad.

CalhounSq said:

and if ANYONE knew about the "extremeties of lust"...it was Prince

Tiffypoo2004 said:

If you've never even heard the damned song why don't reserve your judgement of it until U can listen to it for yourself.

CreamyThighs said:

well to be frank after seeing the lyrics and the "rape" reference of it i dont think that i want to hear the "damned" song.

Tiffypoo2004 said:

if that's the case, honey there's a whole lotta Prince songs out there you won't want to listen to (not saying he mentions rape in all his songs, he doesnt, but, if you're gonna decided you dont want to listen to a Prince song cuz you think it's bad, you'd might as well stop where you are right now)

CreamyThighs said:

dont misunderstand i love prince understand?? but when he talks about "rape" thats what gets to me. because i dont take the subject of rape very lighly at all.

Wow, some people are overreacting and being quite dramatic. Extra Loveable and Lady Cab Driver are harmless, so just crank it up and enjoy it for christ's sake.

TBeatty716 said:

^Are you from earth by any chance?^

TBeatty716 said:

No, I meant I've spent zillions of hours, for instance, reading distro catalogs and review sites for this type of music and I've never seen any references to "Burn Unit".

TBeatty716 said:

Yeah,I agree.Prince was just kidding around.

Christopher said:

dunno, but i recall a band called Alisha's Attic playing a cover of the (then unreleased) Old Friends 4 Sale in a live session on BBC Radio 1 a good few years ago.

fuck, i near on shat myself when that came on the national airwaves.

TheFrog said:

them two girls right?

lol i woulda reacted like that to! old friends for sale is a great tune btw....i didnt like the vault version tho i perfer the 85 with the strings and horns and drama lyrics

Novabreaker said:

"Burn Unit" is his side-project. He regularly does vocals and precussion 4 a band called As All Die, which has a CD or 2 out on a Boston-based industrial lable whose name escapes me. Their CD gives me a headache so I rarely listen 2 it!

Extralovable is just a "Prince being nasty" song and the rape reference should be taken that way .Its interesting that he also mentions rape in another song he wrote for Paula Abdul called "U" , the line being
"U drive my girls to rape U know U do "
but that never causes half the controversy that Extraloveable's line does.
