"Sister" Appreciation Thread

"I was only 16 but I guess that's no excuse
My sister was 32, lovely, and loose
She don't wear no underwear
She says it only gets in her hair
And it's got a funny way of stoppin' the juice
My sister never made love to anyone else but me
She's the reason for my, uh, sexuality"

WOW, Prince gets it on with his sister and turns it into a soul masterpiece!

I like the song. Princey doesn't mince words and that just broadens the appeal.


Of him. biggrin
I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me.
Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots.
Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch

This was the closest Prince ever got to doing a 'punk' song. Its not punk but it's punk influenced. "Sister" was always better live than on the album imo. The last time I heard him play "Sister" live was on the Lovesexy tour. Didn't play the whole sung but it was kickin' regardless.
the music knows what your motives are when you are making it

listen to The Replacements - its good for the soul

Great song, but I wouldn't call it "soul", more like a new wave or punk classic.

I dig it - I love his frantic songs - very claustrophobic and cool
