The Controversial Darling Nikki Lyric ? I was looking at 'about.com' ,at it's top 8 albums of the 80's.
And of course Purple Rain was on it. As the author was describing the album, he referred to how it too contained some controversy like Previous albums. Of course he was talking about 'darling nikki' on how it described someone Masturbating. Its the same thing that everyone mentions, and started the exp. Lyric tag. most people remember the story. darling nikki- "I knew a girl named Nikki I guess u could say she was a sex fiend I met her in a hotel lobby Masturbating with a magazine She said "how'd u like 2 waste some time?" And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind" The Critics just love to point it out. This has always annoyed me. Because its a phrase that I've heard before the song, and after, but it is kinda forgotten, now. If you were looking at something ,too closely , someone could say "stop drooling over it" , or "stop masturbating to that" it could be TV, Magazine, etc. Anyway, no masturbating, only heavy breathing ![]() | |

It always amazed me that it was that lyric that got the moral majority all worked up. I mean it's pretty tame really.
I sincerely want 2 fuck the taste out of your mouth now I could understand them being a touch upset about that! ![]() if you've gotta pay for things that you've done wrong I've gotta big bill coming at the end of the day- Gil Scott Heron

![]() No she was actually right. And Prince agreed with her. He actually put on the warning himself. | |

If Prince wanted to go over that line and say..."Just staring at a magazine.."He could....however...it didn't hurt my life...although life is so saturated with sex now...that it's a parent's responsibility...to teach their children how to behave. Having too much sex is not cool. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

Actually No he didnt put it on himself it would not even happened prolly IF she NEVER should of sat her children down(she made them) at very young ages to have them listen to the eniter PR soundtrack. I take that back she (Tipper Gore) is a DUMB cunt.

It's not like Prince was the cleanest artist in the world before PR came out.
And besides, if I was a mom, I wouldn't buy my young daughter the soundtrack to and R rated movie. ![]() She should have checked it out first before giving it to her kid. My dad used to do stuff like that when I was younger. Hell, even when we go to the movies together he'll look the movie up on the internet to see if it "inappropriate" (he lets me watch whatever I want now, he just says he doesn't want to watch stuff like that WITH me. ![]() | |

Back to topic: Tipper Gore MADE her kids (as young as 6 years old) listen to PR soundtrack, I mean come on, how or would a 6 year old KNOW what the word "masterbation" meant? Prolly not! My own daughter didnt even know what sex or any meaning of any words(other then yes and no of course lol) were till she was alot older. Think about it. Like I said Tipper was a DUMB cunt back then.

Could you cite a source for this? All the reports I've read say that Tipper heard her 11-year-old daughter playing Darling Nikki, as well as a report that her teenage son was singing along to Sugar Walls while she was driving him in the car. Those songs brought the matter to her attention and made her want content to be labeled, not censored. And Prince certainly never fought back in any way, so if he didn't agree with her, he should have stood up. He also said he didn't mind the labeling on Graffiti Bridge. Some people were mad at him for inciting the controversy and then leaving other people to fight the battle. | |

No, he wasn't. But he also wasn't famous then. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Some people were mad at him for inciting the controversy and then leaving other people to fight the battle. I remember this WAY back when but I did NOT know the full details. It was HUGE in the 80's but I KNOW for a fact it was a contraversy. There and this was also a discussion in another thread I do beleive so I KNOW I am not bull crapping about Tipper bringing on a contraversy like this.I also remember that it being on the news while I was little. It wasnt a matter of him fighting back with TIpper it was the whole point of TIpper sitting her kids down as young as 6 I do beleive and MAKING them listen to the ENTIRE PR album(like a 6 year old is going to know WHAT "masterbation" is anyway and is my point). It was a bit too late when she put labels on the albums anyway when kids young as 11( I was around the age at the time and HAD the album) even before labeling the kids would hear it somewhere else Im sure. One thing I do want to correct you on it was her daughter NOT her son on page 70 of Possessed by Alex Hahn even states the contraversy as well( I jsut started reading this again as well) [Edited 3/25/08 21:16pm] Smurf theme song-seriously how many fucking "La Las" can u fit into a dam song ![]() Proud Wendy and Lisa Fancy Lesbian asskisser ![]() | |

Response 2 that had me ![]() oh my god totally ![]() i've wondered that for a while. the only thing i can think is that PR was more commercial, but that's no excuse. ![]() Prince makes everything controversial (sp?) .. he let's ppl make up their own minds.. and that's what the public did.. making the song filthy
I was seriously bracing myself for that song when it came on when I saw the movie the first time. Cuz I've been hearing all kinds of things about how terribly nasty it is... took me a little while to get used 2 it ![]() It's not like Prince was the cleanest artist in the world before PR came out.
![]() and look where I am today. I dig "Darling Nikki"... not to mention that "Sister" is one of my favorite songs on "Dirty Mind". I guess when you're exposed to something long enough, you develop a tolerance, even taste 4 it ![]() ![]() Keep it going, guys! I'm loving this thread ![]() had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong.
