If I Was Your Girlfriend Prince 1987
There’s no other song quite like it, with Prince thumbing his nose at conventional sexual politics by reconfiguring the basic plot of the male/female love song itself. Out goes the conventional desire for a quick shag, in comes a yearning for the kind of intimacy women have with their female friends. That this was initially supposed to be sung by his female alter ego “Camille” only boggles the mind even further. GG


Little Red Corvette Prince 1983
A soft drum machine plays against hormonal chord surges and motoring metaphors, while a 24-year-old Prince relays his dalliances with a vastly more experienced lady friend. The sexual tension builds, but it’s underlined by a moment of sadness as the singer clocks the “pocket full of horses” (condoms) his date is holding on to, and realises he’s probably not the only jockey enjoying a ride. Still, something tells us he was able to get over it in time. RS

Darling Nikki Prince and the Revolution 1984
Not only was the titular Nikki naughty enough to be “masturbating with a magazine” when Prince first met her, her antics so outraged Al Gore’s wife, Tipper, who bought parent album Purple Rain as a present for their daughter, that she began to campaign against mucky lyrics, starting pressure group the Parents Music Resource Center. That’s why some CDs come with those “parental advisory” warning stickers. It’s all the little fella’s fault, basically. GG


Kiss Prince and the Revolution 1986
Prince was initially so underwhelmed by what would prove to be his biggest hit that he passed his original demo on to proteges Mazarati. When they and producer David Z came up with an incendiary minimalist funk arrangement, Prince promptly nicked it back. Packed with memorable lines – “You don’t have to watch Dynasty”, “Women not girls rule my world” – and driven by Prince’s cutest falsetto, Kiss proved that male seduction soul needn’t be macho. GM
