In "Let's Pretend We're Married" Prince refers to a "Marcia." In "Insatiable" he refers to "Martha." Who are these women?

They are sisters of Scarlet Pussy, Elektra, Endorphin, Shockadelica, and Pussy Control.

Ok. I really wanted to know. Sometimes this seems more like a big joke site than informational. Which is fine ... I'm just saying ...

It wasn't a joke. Read it again, and think about it.

I just don't get it. Please explain.

Scarlet Pussy, Elektra, Endorphin, Shockadelica, and Pussy Control, and the dead girl in "Another Lonely Christmas", Marcia, and Martha all have one thing in common. What is it?

Marcia and Martha sat at the feet of Christ...

They're fucking made up. Just like Ernest tried to point out. But I like where this thread is going.

i thought it was Marsha

but these names are most likely ficitional just like Nikki and any other female name he used in his song

Marsha and Marcia are pronounced the same.

All of those names are are not about real people except for shockadelica. Wasnt that about Troy Boyer?

Troy was later on around the Diamonds/Symbol period.

Not forgetting 'Violet: the organ grinder'...
or am I wrong?

muleFunk said:

I remember reading in Turn It Up (I think) that it was written about Troy. I'm sure squirrelgrease or ernestsewell can confirm...

there is a big difference between those two names and something like Scarlett Pussy...

I alays thought they were joking references to some of his real friends or joke names betweem him and his friends.

Me and my friends used to put Janine in some of our dialogue in skits. don't know why. We thought it was funny.

I've heard the connection to Shockadelica and Troy Beyer(now Byer) before. It is widely accepted that Sexy MF was about Troy, but it is very possible that Shockadelica was also written about her (and for the Jesse Johnson album of the same name), since Prince was getting wet noodle from her as early as 1986 - according to "Possessed: The Rise And Fall Of Prince".

By the way, anyone else remember when it was announced that Troy Beyer was pregnant with Prince's child way back when? I recall Arsenio Hall mentioning it as part of his monologue during one of his shows.

I wonder what happened....

Always names with M...
not appointing Mayte?

Pregnancy rumors are quite interesting, but if she was PG w/ P's baby, the kid would be roughly 17 right now, and would surely have surfaced by this point, IF it were true. No doubt it's juicy gossip, but I think the whole thing is nonsense.

I always had the feeling Shockadelica was a random quick song that Prince did to stick it to Jesse (after offering him the song in general). To me, it was as fictional as "Another Lonely Christmas". but who knows.

I would assume that Ms. Beyer was requested to have a vaginal vacuuming done. According to our Powers friend, P doesn't use condoms.

My avatar is gay? Nobody said a word in all these years. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Drummer Michael Bland had a thread here on the org a couple of years ago ( under the moniker ebonyrhythmbuddha) where he answered a lot of questions, and a couple of orgers asked him this question , pretty much the SAME question, and he said that both Marcia and /or Martha are fictional characters.But he knew exactly and immediately who the orgers were talking about because he wondered about the same thing.
Another rumor is that during 1990/1991, Prince had a crush on a certain MTV host by the name of Martha.

Check out Blackguitaristz's old thread

Perfect explanation

You'd be singing a different tune if the judges hadn't disqualified all those hanging chads.
