Sexy MF by Prince & the NPG

.

Once again unexpectedly early, the 1992 birthday surprise was a gold vinyl pressing of a funky tune called SEXY M.F. As if he’d taken every idea to its extreme, this recording persuaded Prince to swear off computers and completely revert to the comfort of a live band. All I know is, just before he announced his exit from studio life altogether, I saw a huge pile of electronic gear outside the control room with a “For Sale” sign on it.

His Royal Badness. His Purple Majesty. The Kid. Camille…what’s in a name? Media hype? Good old-fashioned marketing? Pop iconoclasm for the sake of publicity? Perhaps. Sometimes. But in this case the name is MUSIC. Music of all kinds, and lots of it. Did somebody say dance, music, sex, romance? Rock and roll, catchy pop songs, hyper club anthems, intoxicating ballads, jazzy funk, film scores, cartoon heroes, bawdy lust, visionary poet with messages both hidden and blatant…more than a name, more than a singer, musician, band leader, producer, composer, lyricist, director or actor. We may as well face it, no matter where we were, what we did and what we thought, as we reflect on the past 15 years, there’s a six-letter word that doesn’t name a human being as much as it defines a sub-genre of our culture. For where else could so many layers of art assemble so cohesively while retaining a singular identity and influence but under the heading PRINCE.

Dirty, funky, but hugely dull track this, the remix is even worse.

.

I remember when this was released, I asked my mum to pick it up for me in town on her way home from town, she arrived with the cd single and a copy of the VHS-video promo. Bless her.

She came

In a word or 2 - it's u I wanna do
No not cha body, yo mind u fool

Come here baby, yeah

Sexy M.F. was the first single to be released from Prince's fourteenth album , the second album to be credited to Prince and the New Power Generation. It was released three and a half months before the album, and only two weeks after the UK release of the previous album's final single, Thunder. The single's b-sides were taken from the previous album, Diamonds And Pearls, and the Diamonds And Pearls Tour was underway at the time of release.

The single reached only number 66 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart (the song's explicit content restricted its airplay), and number 76 on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles Chart. It fared better in the UK, where radio stations created their own edits of the track in order to play it; the single reached number 4 on the UK Gallup Singles Chart.

This was the most anticipated song of '92. Even before the D&P tour there were rumours he had added a new song to the set called Sexy Motherfucker. Yes, back then we still believed it would have the full word as a title. I was thinking, is this really the best he can come up with? Using the "MF" word just to be controversial?
But it was THE hit of the tour! Exactly the right combination of attitude and musicianship. The NPG are fantastic on it, even (whisper it softly...) Tony M. Yeah! 1 of the last great Prince jams!

Really like Sexy MF, just a shame it didn't 't get the AirPlay it deserved due to the expletive. Not often a girl is wanted for mind as well as her body!
Wonder what Prince's mum thought of her being referenced at the start if the video?
Still have the cass single and VHS too

I remember that my 10y younger brother went to a live radio broadcast from a Belgium hitlist

wich took place on the beach that summer.

When the chorus came, they let the audience sing a long and we could hear it on the radio,

a bunch of kids (my brother was 14) shouting : U sexy motherfucker!!! on national radio lol

Only Prince....

Chart performance

The song was released in an edited version in the U.S., where it peaked at #66 on the Hot 100 chart and #76 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. In the UK, the song sold extremely well, peaking at #4 there.

Can't stand this track. Summed up everything about Prince losing his originality and musical integrity.

I loved this track, and turning friends on to it. They thought it was absurd, but still couldn't get enough of it lol. Tony M wasn't bad on this, "I bet if you threw that ass up in the air it would turn into sunshine". Great horns on this, probably makes the song along with the chorus.
"So fierce U look 2night, the brightest star pales 2 Ur sex..."
