How is "I wanna be the only one you cum for" g-rated?

I'm going to go for light-hearted feeling & messages, too, for my suggestions. Stuff like "Paisley Park" is light feeling, but has a heavy social message to it. So I'm omitting those.

G-rated is stuff like "Starfish & Coffee", "I Wish U Heaven", "Forever In My Life", "With You", "Around The World In A Day", "Christopher Tracy's Parade", "New Power Generation", "Still Would Stand All Time", "Pink Cashmere", "She Loves Me 4 Me".

Paisley Park

Mountains

Around the World in a Day

Gold

She Gave Her Angels

Betcha By Golly Wow!

Wlcome 2 The Dawn

For You

I Wish U Heaven

Soul Sanctuary

She Loves Me 4 Me

Future Soul Song

Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do

The Most Beautiful Girl in the World

Starfish & Coffee

these come to mind... this is a hard list (I have given it thought as I try and find music I can play for my kids!)

It could be taken as "I wanna be the only one you come for" and then it would be G-Rated, but your point is well taken. I'll remove it from my list. This is for a twelve year old girl, so she can handle stuff like, well, I'm not really sure. I just don't want any songs that will make her blush.

Diamonds and Pearls

Play in the Sunshine

Cum or Come (the latter as its written) still means the same thing. (Read: Track 10 on Come.)

Thanks for pointing this out. Like I said, I'll remove it from the list.

BTW occording the the Mirriam-Webster Dictionary of the English Language, the word 'cum' is not a noun or a verb. I just thought you would appreciate learning that because your handle is

Lots of reasons. It has a very strong enviromental message near to the end, also about animal-rights too (the main character ends up in a zoo near the end of the movie and he nearly goes crazy). It's also got tons of musical numbers in it with dancing etc. I really like it and can see why Prince would want to get involved.

I thought about "Strollin'" but it does mention buying dirty magazines. Apparently Nikki loves to roller skate around the lake, too. haha

I'm a teacher and I showed my students his Super Bowl performance after he died. (I teach kids with autism who are in grades 1 to 3.) They loved it!

The Beautiful Ones

Diamonds and Pearls

Thank you for the kind words. I've never heard of "Be My Mirror." (I was born in 1986.) I just listened to it and I LOVE IT!!! What a beautiful song.

I hesitate to bring this up due to the sad circumstances, but my understanding is that Prince and Mayte were making a children's album around 1996, but it was never released, which would make sense given the death of their son. However, now that Prince is no longer here on Earth, it will be interesting to see (a) if any of this children's material is in the vault and (b) if any of this children's material is ever released.

-

He was such a prolific composer and had such a range of subjects that I have no doubt he made some wonderful songs for children.

Ha! Funny, I started to make a playlist of clean Prince songs I can play in my car for when my son is in the car with me. So far I have Letitgo The cross Seven Pop life Kiss Take me with u Baby I'm A Star 17 Days Raspberry Beret Forever in my life Love Mountains Paisley Park I need more too, lol [Edited 6/25/16 18:18pm]

Great list! Kiss and Rasberry Beret might be a bit questionable for children's ears, but they aren't THAT bad, suggestive more than anything. Kiss is my second favorite Prince song of all time. I don't have children, but when I do, they will certainly hear it because I love it. So I can't be too judgemental!
