list of 50 songs

Who has the list of 50 songs that Prince no longer performs because of sexually explicit lyrics? I want an exact list, not just guesses.

Naw, I read in a few different places somewhere that it's definitely 50. Now that he's changed his mind on performing about sex, I'm actually surprised he hasn't included more songs. Here's an easy 10 off the top of my head: Head, Sister, Jack U Off, Let's Pretend We're Married, Darling Nikki, Tamborine, If I Was Your Girlfriend, Erotic City, Violet the Organ Grinder, Orgasm.

Billy Jack Bitch, or Days of Wild anymore

There isn't any definitive list.

As it is, Prince continues to perform songs but might not sing the original lyrics. Case in point is 'Tamborine' which you've included. He played it on drums at the London soundcheck in 2002 (October 5), and then included it at the Aftershow several hours later - but he didn't sing any lyrics himself.
.

Yeah, I heard recently that he played Little Red Corvette. I guess he still likes those songs and can't let go. I actually would rather him not do them if he's gonna change them around like that. I mean what's next? A clean version of Head?

There isn't a specific list.
It's pretty obvious which songs he's unlikely to play due to lyrical content,
but some lyrical content can be changed so you never know! Who'd have thought
we'd see him play 'Days Of Wild' or 'D.M.S.R.'again? (but I think it's highly
unlikely that we'll see him ever sing 'Head' or 'Sister'!)

i remember someone sayin that he played head instrumental at a soundcheck during the world tour last autumn.
he sang the first line or 2 of tambourine before letting the crowd take over.
...just another manic monday...
