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.

I hate you wasn't about Carmen Electra, I think Solo was as well.

Wasn't The One (NPG) a Mayte song?

ficktyt said:

The title was just stolen from Jesse to tease him.

The actual song is rumoured to be about Troy Beyer.

Anna Garcia, renamed Anna Fantastic;

Pink Cashmere
I Love U In Me
Vicky Waiting (orignal version was named Anna Waiting, and when some songs were dropped for the Batman project, he asked her if he could re-record it for the album, naming it Vicky Waiting)

Sorry, but I don't believe Prince ever wrote any song about Robin, I don't care what she said.

I guess I may be one of the only people that thinks Prince may actually just write songs that are fictional and not always about certain people.

All i know and this is because he said it himself in an interview. All of Disc 2 of Emancipation album was dedicated to Mayte.
AND 'the one'..he said her name in the song

Scandalous wasn;t for her, but she did say Gett Off and Insatiable were for her.

Big Tall Wall & Nothing Compares 2 U is about Susannah.

Where'd she go anyway?

YEP!

scandalous- kim basinger

dustysgirl said:

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? 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.

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

I forgot who said it but apparently the Old Man Johnson in Raspberry Beret was a reference 2 Jesse Johnson.

Lisa - Lisa (more "inspired by" than "about")
Latino Barbie Doll - Sheila
Susannah's Pajamas - Susannah
The Love We Make - Chick Huntsberry, Jonathan Melvoin and probably an amalgam of others
In This Bed I Scream - Wendy, Lisa, Susannah

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

The Glamorous Life was written about Apollonia apparently.

Rinluv said:

That's neat - I always wished there was a hidden little instrumental track on "Symbol" or something like that called "" just because.

Also isn't that "It's time to fix your clock" line in DMSR about The Time because he feared they'd upstage him on tour or something? I thought I read that some place
