I don't know about 'occultic' messages, but I'm pretty sure if you listen really close you'll hear someone saying 'you big dummy!' over and over.

Not in the song, though.

I'm sorry, but this is one ridiculous thread. There's no backwards occult message in this song.

Oh, and Prince didn't worship Satan during this period, or any period of his life.

802, you are wrong, this isn't a rediculous thread and google can not answer everything. In fact, Google sometimes reference this site as a source. You don't know what Prince has done in his life because you don't know him. No need to be defensive about this question, it's a legitimate question. Explain this cloak then . . .

What does wearing shiny clothes have to do with him worshiping Satan? Christians can't wear shiny clothes?

THE ALL SEEING EYE OCCULT SYMBOL!

Some of those albums were pretty unsuccessful. What's the deal, did they forget to pay their membership fees?

oh the irony..the stupidity..the gall..the unkbenownst-ness....the..the THE

The irony is that only a 12 year old Tarantino-Fan would give himself a ridiculous nickname like "accelerator"

From http://www.songmeanings.n...iew/92279/

"I think that this song is an intentional jab at the Moral Majority. I don't feel that this song is about having sex with a hooker. In truth, I believe that Nikki is the Devil. Old Nick is one of Satan's nicknames. The singer signs on the dotted line to seal the contract on his soul. What he is selling it for is unknown - maybe just an amazing sexual experience? However, "my body will never be the same," makes me think that he sells his soul for some physical change or attribute, and that the sex is either a bonus to the actual transformation, or else a a metaphor for the change.

The use of the word "castle" indicates one of royalty (Satan being the leader of hell), and to tempt people, there is everything that money could buy.

His head is spinning, not knowing what he's in store for - this is a hallmark of the individual that undergoes a transformation.

Her love will kick your behind - she'll show no mercy --- could be attributes of Satan.

The backmasking at the end? Certainly a wink at religious zealots who claim that rock is evil, and that Satan hides messages in backwards lyrics. In this case, Prince laughs at them by telling them what they already believe - that The Lord is coming soon.

The word grind makes me think, though. Rather than being a euphemism for sex, I wonder if the word GRIND is using the definition "WORK" -- The Devil works His magic."

Also there's the question why you can hear laughter after the so-called backward message in "Darling Nikki" ??

One could interpret "the lord will come soon" also in a sexual way, then it would be a highly blasphemous statement!

Why is he talking about the "lord" and not "god" in this particular line..... ??? Whats the intention of the laughter????

Purpleis the color which stands for royality - and in esoteric circles it is referred to as the colour of "Old Nick" himself.... So could "Purple Rain" actually mean "Purple Reign" ????

Prince is really Dorian Grey and this is his first hand account of how the deal with the devil went down

If this song is about Satan and is blasphemous then why did he perform it during the Hit N Run Tour while he was becoming a JW? I'd like you to answer that one.

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

She took me 2 her castle
And I just couldn't believe my eyes
She had so many devices
Everything that money could buy
She said "sign your name on the dotted line"
The lights went out
And Nikki started 2 grind

Nikki

The castle started spinning
Or maybe it was my brain
I can't tell u what she did 2 me
But my body will never be the same
Her lovin' will kick your behind
Oh, she'll show u no mercy
But she'll sho'nuff sho'nuff show u how 2 grind

Darlin' Nikki

Woke up the next morning
Nikki wasn't there
I looked all over and all I found
Was a phone number on the stairs
It said thank u 4 a funky time
Call me up whenever u want 2 grind

Oh, Nikki, ohhhh

Come back Nikki, come back
Your dirty little Prince
wanna grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind

{played backwards}
"Hello, how r u' I'm fine. 'cause I know that the Lord is coming soon, coming, coming soon."

Chas said:

The Devil put it on there! He was sitting with Prince when he was putting the songs in order on PR and Prince said, "Ya know Satan, I need one more song, something dark, out of tune, and most of all occultic." Satan stands up and pulls out an 8-track he had in his man-purse and said, "Here, it's not as occultic as my usual stuff, in fact, I'd characterize it as semi-occultic." Prince loved the song, mostly for the references to devices, having just bought a food processor, betamax vcr and a set of curb-feelers. Prince then said, "but Satan, there's no references to fruits or vegetables on here!" Satan replied, "I know, that's because Apples did none of what you'll sing about. Oranges maybe. And don't even get me started about cumquats."In the end, the song caused Tipper Gore to buy more apples and that started the war in Grenada. It's all a conspiracy.

Yeah that, to that yeah that. Anyone who is going to still say that he worshiped Satan is an idiot.

THEY ARE WOLVES IN SHEEP CLOTHING!

Where are the mods when you need them.

Ban this predictable troll.

(Jarvius?)

IT'S GETTING HOT IN HERRE!

who's worse? the celebrities supposedly partaking in these so-called occult practices and making use of their symbolism? or the dumbfucks who believe this stupid bullshit?

Oh, cool. This is the first time I see Rihanna and Prince together in a photo.

Have you ever seen a punctuation mark that looks like this one here -> ?

And now have a look at my posting above ! As you can see there is a interrogation point after almost every sentence! And that means what? Yes, you got it right, these were meant to be questions !!!!

For the record: I never claimed that Darling Nikki would be indeed about a pact with Satan - thats why i asked questions and used "interrogation marks"! Its just a theory about the song (darling nikki) that happens to be out there on the web and i posted it to answer the OPs question! (which almost all of you ignored completely btw) Its not that complicated you know....

The first line of my original posting says From http://www.songmeanings.n...iew/92279/

And the word "FROM" indicates what? Yeah you got it right again, it indicates that this particular interpretation of the lyrics came from another website and not from me personally!

"One could interpret "the lord will come soon" also in a sexual way, then it would be a highly blasphemous statement!"

You can find the meaning of the word "would" over here (just in case you dont know what it means) -> http://www.merriam-webste...nary/would

Be able to read is a wonderful thing after all!

Concerning the Hit'nRun Tour, check out this thread -> http://prince.org/msg/7/341168

In the end it's a little bit frustrating, that people here act like religious fascists who dont tolerate any other oppinion than their own! Its a Prince site, but some of you on here are really way more biased and intolerant than any member of a ultraconservative Christian sect could ever be. I think it would be more fun to discuss whatever topic with a member of the Scientology sect than with some of you guys, who constantly ignore the topic and are just here for making personal insults and silly comments which have nothing to do with the OPs question.

I follow Princes career for almost 30 years now! His fans used to be very open-minded people (what else is to expect if you listen to songs like "Controversy" or "Sexuality").

But since around 2004 this has changed somehow. Nowadays 12-16 year old Prince fans (with macho-macho names like "accelerator") seem to be like Nazis: You have another oppinion they will stone you to death 4 sure !!!

Believe what you want, i still think its a nice theory (devil pact) to play around with... And thats it!

[Edited 2/27/11 14:16pm]

If Prince is really involved in whatever evils some of you seem to think he is, I can't imagine how you justify buying or even listening to his music?

The David Icke forum called, they want their thread back.

Why so sensitive! It's only pictures.

And the oscar for biggest nuttjob artist with even bigger nutjob fans goes to...

Prince!

oh. Sadly Prince can't be here tonight because he's worshiping the devil or sniffing chemtrails or something, i dunno...

You're always very fast when it comes to calling somebody an "idiot"

"Hello, how r u' I'm fine. 'cause I know that the Lord is coming soon, coming, coming soon."

First: These lyrics are not 100% correct as the word "again" is missing!

Second: The question remains: Why can you hear laughter after this "message"?

If Prince is so devotional as you claim why would he laugh after saying that "the lord will soon come again"? Why?? For what reason??

Can you explain it? Since we're all idiots, you seem to be the only person who knows the answer!

So let us know please..... Thanks in advance!

because the laughter sounds cool when played backwards, as it is on the album.

it really isn't that deep. the surest sign that someone is fucking with you on their record to make you think there's some hidden satanic message is to have an acapella passage that plays backwards. he's goofing on you.

^^ But this is exactely what has been mentioned in my original post ?!?!?!?!?

"The backmasking at the end? Certainly a wink at religious zealots who claim that rock is evil, and that Satan hides messages in backwards lyrics"

And do you really think Prince is that kind of facile? Sounds cool when played backwards?? Sorry imho this is way to easy for a real explanation! Then Prince could have used just any kind of sound effect... Why should he use laughter if there are so many better sounding effects?

And why would he use "laughter" when he's so "devotional"?? Sorry, this doesnt fit!

Nah, I'm still waiting for "802" to give us the real meaning behind all this! He's 16 years old and wasnt even around when "Darling Nikki" came out, but he's an expert on all these things you know!!! So i just cant wait for his explantion, which surely will clear up everything!

it is an interesting theory I give you that but I can in no way believe it

The backward message on Darling Nikki is simple enough to figure out... just listen to it carefully, it says: "There Will Be No 20Ten Deluxe.... Ever!".... and one snippet about Obama, but y'all wouldn't like what it says... LOL
