OMG!
http://uncyclopedia.wikia...ena_Easton In 1984, Sheena shocked many of her fans by recording the notorious Prince song "(Let Me B Your) Cum Bucket". The song lead to the formation of the PQRS by Ronald Reagan's other wife, Tippi Hedren and was listed as one of their Dirty Dozen. Sheena later remarked in an 1996 interview that Prince told her that "Kumbukhet" was a sacred Sanskrit word meaning "girlfriend" and was unaware of any sexual connotations. The video showed Sheena in typical 1980s street-wear of boob-tube, bikini briefs, fishnet stockings, legwarmers, stilleto heels and a sparkly headband; strutting around a Wal-Mart, loading melons, sausages and cream into her shopping cart.

OMG. Maybe it was you, Girlbrother, who recorded that song and not Sheena Easton! Yes, I think so. |

Her best song is 101. No question about it. |

That's my favorite. It's funny that so many people love that song. However, "Cool Love" is my favorite of the Prince-penned songs on that album. That song is lovely to me. I also love the title track, and the video despite Sheena's bad dancing. perfection is a fallacy of the imagination... | |

She came across as a bit of a knob a few years back, when she returned to the UK. She was filmed for a documentary and went back up to Scotland, and did a few gigs in the UK... All the time, using this bizarre accent. It was a bit freaky. blah blah blah |

It truly is - I would say it is among the best 3 or 4 songs that Prince ever gave to someone else. | |

!!! That is so spot-on!
When I first heard "Sugar Walls" I couldn't believe my ears. When I then heard it was the beloved sweetheart who originally sang "Morning Train" I realized Prince was out of his gottdam mind!!! If you look at the songs Prince had his women sing and the videos they made after leaving him... ( A Pretty Mess, anyone?), this parody seems tame by comparison.
Great parody of that era...  
Some people tell me I've got great legs... | |
