Insatiable-who's Martha?

In the song Insatiable Prince mentions the name Martha twice {I got the jones Martha, and Like a wildcat Martha in a celibate rage} I think there's a reference in Let's pretend we're married as well. Who is Martha? or have I got this completely wrong and he's actually saying something else?
Time is a trick....

I used to think it was about Martha Wash, the singer from Weather Girls, then figured it was just a name.

I think he meant to say MARSHA... as in Brady.

Prince was known to be a big Brady Bunch fan as a kid, and has often said that he dreamed of bedding "Marsha". Of course Jan got jealous, and pleaded with him to change it to Martha.

"It's always Marsha! Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!!", said Jan in reports during the release of the song.

lol
The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else!

Okay, what's the story. I hadn't heard about this either. So that song is directed toward a real woman?

The origin of Martha is from the bible.
It kinda like saying "mamma"

That's where it's from.

Classic moment at the "Under the Cherry Moon" premiere back then! She would have let him feel her up right there with his hands!
