rumor has it that it was written for Susan Moonsie.

I've always wanted to know if Purple Rain was written with her in mind as well?

The song was inspired by Prince's little love affair with Susan. But I'm not sure how much loving there was especially since she was underage.

I love this song! Controversy is a CLASSIC. I'm excited right now for some reason...
I'm an org elitist... totally unapproachable.

lol No she wasn't. That was just made up because she looked so much younger than Brenda and Vanity.

One of my favorite early Prince songs. Like it better than Controversy. Should have been a single.

It was discussed a few times on this forum that it might be about masturbation. The more i think about it, more I think it is.....

It's about the theory of how a consciousness, in it's purest form, may indeed be able to originate during the breakdown of a bicameral mind.
At the same time,
it's also about the process of sticking one's finger up one's own butt-hole.

When he wrote it,
Prince was into experimenting with double entrendes,
a skill which was truly burgeoning with the little fucker at the time.

I couldn't do that.

My penis is tone deaf & half-blind (i.e., it only has one eye),

One of my fav songs (Pvt Joy wink). The style of the song fits her, so I think.
