Yes,I remember this song.It was a big hit in 1985.Our local radio got confused though.When they first played this song,they mistakenly said it was the new Sheila E. single


and yes,the lyrics are about Sheena's vagina

YEs, Prince wrote the song for and ABOUT Sheena.

Yes, i remember that sonbg. I think I was 14 when the song was released. Me and my friends used to laugh and titter when we heard it play. We knew what it menat and thought it was so scandalous.

I remember this song from when I was younger...I always thought what it would sound like if Vanity sang it...?

I certainly remember the song. I was in the 7th grade. At first I thought it was about the four walls of her bedroom, but then I soon learned otherwise...

After P turned Sheena out and busted up her marriage, her ass was never the same. He had her hooked on phonics.

I was a big Sheena fan way back when... "For Your Eyes Only," "Morning Train," and my most fav pre-Prince Sheena song, "Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)" -- I used to play that one over and over. Hey, I was only like 10 years old, y'know.

I loved that song "Morning Train (Nine To Five)",which was her debut hit in 1981.I gotta get a Greatest Hits CD by her.

I never really cared to much for her pop shit. Actually, I don't think that alot of people didn't start feeling her until P turned her out and on to the Funk. Then, she really started to blossom out of course it broke up her marriage but it made for good music which counts.

I was in high school (in '85, I would have been a "junior") when this song came out
(&.. sigh.. already "sexually active")
so I knew RIGHT AWAY what this song was about. to me, it was BLATANTLY obvious & I was a little surprised that some stations played the song at all.

most of my friends knew the deal, too.

I even remember saying something like
"oh baby, I wanna spend the night inside your sugar walls"
as part of my (mostly LAME) "rap" as a "hormonally charged" teenager back in the day..


tsk, tsk..


great song, though..
& as usual, I prefer the extended version with the (longer) guitar solo
& where Sheena asks (spoken) "have you ever been in love?? I could make you NEVER want to fall in love again.. don't you want to spend the night??"
then she laughs..

how do you know it was about Sheena?? (i've been a Prince fan since 1978, but you guys shock me with all the "inside" news that "you know" about him).

i've been a longtime fan as well and never heard it was "about" sheena... so i'm wondering too

Snap said:

She has spoken about it in interviews. Oh well. Just keep reading this thread and you'll learn all you need to know.

MsLegs said:

I heard it was "Hooked on Penis."

How can you rule out that it WASN'T about Sheena? He did write it under his Alexander Nevermind Psuedonym.

Well, that Dick tune must of had her hooked pretty good. Beacause, girlfriend was talking about how her relationship w/P made her a more freespirit and this kind of shit in different women magazines worldwide and TV interviews.
