Prince Do It All Night UK 12" vinyl

Do It All Night was the lead single in the UK to support Prince's third album, Dirty Mind. The song is an ode to sex, and Prince exclaims that he wants to do it all night. The song opens with a simple keyboard hook before a prominent bass guitar kicks in, along with rhythm guitar and live drums. The song consists of two verses and several repeats of the chorus. Also featured is a keyboard solo in the bridge.

Do It All Night

Pardon me, I wanna talk to you
I may be kinda shy But I just gotta tell you
What I'm going to do
Someone over there says He wants to get to know you
I don't care cuz
I really wanna hold you
And I'm so scared
[Girl], he might do something
To you that you like
Now I've been waiting
Such a bloody long time
Just to get this close to you
Now that you're near me
I want you to hear me
I'll tell you what I wanna do
Oh, I wanna do it
Do it all night
I wanna do it
Do it to you right
Giving up so easy
Is something that I never do
But I'm so easy, so easy
When it comes to loving you Can't you understand that I want
To hug and kiss you
I'll do anything I can just
To give you happiness
And I drown, baby, drown, baby
In your arms, c'mon baby
Can't you get to this?
I've been waiting such a bloody long time
And you're talking to someone else
Now that I've got your attention
There's something I wanna mention

I wanna do it
Do it all night
I wanna do it, oh yeah
Do it to you right
Do it all night
I,I wanna do it, oh yeah
Do it to you right

I wanna do it
Do it all night
I wanna do it, oh yeah
Do it to you right

gotta do it, do it
Do it all night
Do it to you right

Do it all night
Do it to you right

Dirty Mind

Chris Varias
Diversions, November 12, 1993

Dirty isn't a strong enough adjective for Prince's bean. In his 1980 fu(c/n)k-a-thon, Victor craves the nasty stronger than Madonna, Wade Boggs and Bob Packwood combined. The little man, who was barely of drinking age at the time, narrates a sexual underbelly with such conviction that it's impossible for the listener to separate truth from tall tales. He makes sleeping with his girlfriend's boyfriend seem as routine as trying to get it on in his daddy's car with the girl next door. It's all the same when you got the dirtiest mind of them all.

The dirtiest of the album's eight tunes is "Sister," not a radio-friendly Julie Hatfield sing-along: "I was only 16 but I guess that's no excuse/My sister was 32, lovely and loose." Look out! "She showed me where it's supposed 2 go/A blow job doesn't mean 'no'/Incest is everything it's said 2 B." "Sister" puts the "fun" in dysfunctional.

"Head" is about giving it to someone else's virgin bride on her way to be wed. The bride, portrayed by Lisa, returns the favor, only to be interrupted when His Purpleness lets loose on the wedding gown.

Although he can feed his relentless, exotic sexual appetite at will, this kid dynamo ain't jaded. He's got too much love to hide, and his heart is breakable. "When You Were Mine," one of the best pop songs released during the Carter administration, gushes a tenderness that is not often found in a fiend of Prince's stature. He gives, gets burned and grieves. "Just like a train/U let all my friends come over and eat/And U were so strange/U didn't have the decency to change the sheets." (Cyndi Lauper's version is also recommended.)

Dirty Mind is a musical, as well as sexual, coming of age. It's d.i.y. in the truest sense; Prince writes all the songs (co-writing the title track with Dr. Fink), plays all the instruments (sans Fink's synthesizer on two tracks) and produced it all. He even engineered under the pseudonym Jamie Starr. Keyboards and a kickdrum lead the way for a golden falsetto and polished yet inspired guitar playing. Danceable, melodic, rockin'--Prince's centerpiece until Sign Of The Times hit the shelves.

Telltale lyric: "Where I come from we don't let society tell us how it's supposed to be."

When The Shit Comes Down (possibly titled When The Shit Goes Down) is an unreleased track recorded by Prince with his full band during a rehearsal in 1980, at an unknown location. Prince's home studio at the time was not big enough for band recordings. Drummer Bobby Z. has stated that the track "was really good". It is not known if the track was intended for any particular project, and nothing else is known about the track, which remains unreleased.

This album contains Prince's first rock classic: "When You Were Mine"

Recording process

While specific recording dates are not known, the album sessions took place from May to June, 1980, in Prince's Lake Minnetonka Home Studio, Minnetonka, MN, USA (credited as "Somewhere in Uptown"), and completed in June, 1980 at Hollywood Sound Recorders, Los Angeles, CA, USA.

The song introduced new band member Lisa Coleman who contributed a spoken word segment after Gayle Chapman objected to the song's lyrics and left the band.
