I HATE when Prince.... It absolutely drives me nuts to hear him change the lyrics of his own songs during a concert. I’ve been a huge fans for 20+ years but this whole Jehovah Witness/Squeaky Clean Prince is killing me!! I’ve been listening to the London 02 Arena Finale Live Concert and he did it 4 times (Irresistible Bitch, Darling Nikki, Erotic City, and DMSR) at least during DMSR he sang (girl it aint no use, you might as well get loose, so work that body like you “WANT SOME MORE”) Come on!! He wouldn’t even attempt the Lyrics to Darling Nikki, Erotic City or Irresistible Bitch he would start and then say “Awwww…I can’t sing that”. What’s next ? rereleasing albums with revised lyrics? This REALLY bothers me!!!! [Edited 9/27/07 8:03am] I Think U And I..... | |

Alternatively, he could opt not to do the songs at all.
I'm pleased that he changes the lyrics - his approach and attitude regarding his religion and what he does is a lot better than other people who supposedly find God, but use it only on their own terms when it suits them. | |

That agitates me too. I've more or less come to accept it as part of his 'rejuvination'. I tell you what I don't miss though: Prince dropping the "F" word and "MF" and all of that. | |

Me personally, I'd rather him not sing the song at all if he's gonna change the lyrics. Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

personally, i would rather watch the tape of a 25 year old prince singing about a girl masturbating with a magazine, and do it with conviction, than watch the near 50 year old prince singing about it live without feeling, but like i say, that's personally.
it's prince's party, and we all is just invitees! if he wants 2 pop a few of the balloons we ain't gonna stop him. | |

He sais "All My Purple Life" on the Erotic City samply once, and then we "Thats just too funky for ya'll"
When he done Darling Nikki and said "i cant play that" He actually sounded like he was gutted he couldnt do it I got more hits than Madonna's got kids! | |

Oh well, I suppose we can look 4ward 2 Prince writing and singin about incontinence and impotence. With conviction of course.  | |

I'm surprised he would even tease the audience with those songs knowing full well that He isn't going to play them honestly, I agree with most here that he shouldn't play them at all if he no longer wants to say the naughty lyrics. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

Besides Farrah having a problem-----
I believe the thing that is misunderstood about "Darling Nikki." is that, although masterbation is a part of life...in 1984. Prince, had all eyes on him.... As u can tell it didn't bother me, but I knew at the time, that it would hurt his sales some....he lost a certain crowd of shy people. Doing all that u want to in this world to express yourself, doesn't always pay off...the one word, cost him thousands, because some people are embarassed by the concept. It's that simple.

Well I think it's fucking stupid. It's a shame he thinks he's too good to sing certain songs these days, but that's the case he should just not sing them, not fuck them up with new words. Besides, changing "work your body like a whore" to "work your body like you want some more" really isn't making it any cleaner. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Religion does make sex seem like it is a bad thing....think about it, if Sex was really bad and God did not want us to do it or use it, then why give it to us in the first place... Use it or lose it. | |

Well,some people(Religious people) think Sex is just for reproduction perposes only. Some people think I'm kinda cute

Well,some people(Religious people) think Sex is just for reproduction perposes only. A couple of my closest friends are Born Again Christians... they believe in no makeup, no music other than gospel, no alcohol etc etc... I find them to be the most sexually frustrated and hypocritical (having extra marital affairs, drinking alcohol etc).  This is what gets me... why be hypocritical? If you cannot handle your religious beliefs (Born Again Christians) get out of it and find a religion you are comfortable with. Jump of the fence![Edited 9/28/07 0:03am] | |

Hey, it's his music who are we to tell him he shouldn't do what he wants with it! Some of us are saying that they rather not hear the song at all, and that's cool until he actually stops playing these song and then we are all "I wish he would play these songs again, he hasn't played them in so long. I'll even except the version he does with the cleaner lyrics!" 
You never miss the water till the well runs dry! I'm just sayin  surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years... | |
