"She said, 'Thank u 4 a funky time'"...does this mean Prince's poop chute was dirty and rank?

Well it seems like it was his first time since it made such an impression, so I doubt he douched before hand. I'm sure these days he has much better etiquette.

I always interpreted Nikki as a succubus, especially since Prince had--to that point--always played the victim or the victimized in his songs. It was always the female doing him wrong. Thus, the great imagery was exaggeration for the wild woman whose sex was so great that she could cause a man to lose his mind, leaving him longing and heartbroken because he was merely another conquest of hers. And, as for grinding, that was always viewed as something done by two people, such as grinding on the dance floor. And, whether on the dance floor or actually having sex, the hope was to find a woman who would "grind" her hips as passionately as the male. Who wants a woman--or any lover--who just lays there?

Yes I agree, he always played the victim in those songs

This song is definately about a touch of S&M too.

There's this purple suspicion that lurks in the anals of my mind...

I just have to post it again ...

"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...."

You wish!

What makes you think that having sex with Satan personified as a lingerie wearing, Hustler reading, hotel lobby loitering vamp is going to be good old mish position? No, you want to get off with the devil, he's going to be the one fucking you. This simply strengthens my hypothesis. Clearly Prince got a taste for this activity, hence all his backpeddling to god since then.

Just my interpretation.

Prince often has double or triple meaning's so u never know.

The meaning is defined defined by the listener.....

We need some GIFS of the gameboys humping Prince in the D&P era!

I've always thought 'Willing and Able" was about his bi-sexuality. Listen to it again with that in mind.

Darlin' Nikki, a cheap tale of a loose girl and a one night stand, or Prince's full and frank declaration that as narrator of the song he enjoys being penetrated anally by a strap-on? Let's examine the lyrical evidence:


She had so many devices
Everything that money could buy -- So many devices, not just the usual things
...
The lights went out
And Nikki started to grind --SHE started to grind, not him. She is takes the active role, which in itself doesn't mean Prince is the one getting fucked, but in conjunction with the wider lyrical context I think that is exactly what is being said...
...
The castle started spinning
Or maybe it was my brain
I can't tell you what she did to me

But my body will never be the same -- He sounds very much like the passive partner here, he was intoxicated from the prostate stimulation
...
Her lovin' will kick your behind -- Does this need explaining?
Oh, she'll show you no mercy -- Again, no explanation needed
But she'll shonuff shonuff show you how 2 grind -- She will show you (and him) how to grind, again she's the active partner and quite experienced it seems
...
Come back Nikki, come back
Your dirty little prince
Wanna grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind -- "Dirty little Prince" tells us he considers their love making taboo, but wants more!


Of course after Prince officially outs himself as a power-bottom with this paean of love for being fucked, he feels guilty and has to make an act of penance to the Christian deity in the form of the backwards ending - Very Princely, the prodigal son of pop too-ing and fro-ing between lust and love, sex and god.

I think it's pretty conclusive, I'm just amazed it didn't come to me sooner, it's all there in the lyrics.

your desire for prince to have things placed in his rectum doesn't make it true

Susanah Melvoin said @ Toure's book conference, that Nikki was a real person, that they all knew very well....

I'd always assumed finger, not the full strap on lololol

May we deduce then, from that "that they all knew very well" that Nikki plugged her stuff in everyone?

I think I remember recently Lisa talking 2 Wendy about Nikki in an interview about the Purple Rain music

I can tell when we are a bit bored with Prince's current situation
