IMHO some of those were ONLY played in ur area not in all as I described above in my post. So really you cant say what songs got "regular airplay" all over the country/states/cities. You speaking for your area ONLY, not for mine. What may be popluar or played in LA may not be played in NYC or Chicago.

Heavy breathing?
That's not explicit, there are and were a lot of music in the 80's with heavy breathing

Yes Prince subliminal or disguised songs were famous, which means it could be played on the radio

You singled out Little Red Corvette, where I'm from the song would be played fully, DMSR as well.

What I'm trying to say is there is an assumption that Prince music is explicit, when a lot of it isn't: Pussy Control (just for that word) would label it explicit, but ADORE is according to AMAZON.com

Batdance: remember in the video where he is going between the Vicky Vale legs smelling the coohes?

Adore: "I aint fuckin just fo' kicks."

Prince is always going between someones legs lol
But that was the video, not the song
I didn't remember anything explicit about that album

TOOTS get off the defense, I'm talking about what was played on the radio station where I'm from, I thought that would be pretty clear I'm talking about what I heard on the radio. I'm not telling you this is what was played all over or in your area.

I lived in Utah during Purple Rain. Darling Nikki was played regularly on the New Wave station there. That's no lie. And I used to wonder how they got away with doing that then.

All Im saying it was not played here in my area They were tight asses.
