I love If I was ur girlfriend. I don't think its threatening. It's sweet but too needy. But its a request not a demand.

I hate U and its line about the 'rod' bugs me but I like the song anyhow. 18 and over just creeps me out.

Yeah not too subtle on 18 and over. I was a bit shocked when I first heard it.

Why? Prince was a very sexual artist and honest in his work. 18 and over is much better than 18 and under that would have creeped me out.

There is a song released or unreleased, something from the 1982-1984 period... I thought it was on Extralovable

he is painting a little scene of man being pressured to do something by another man

he is saying something like Sir, I, I don't want to ...

Purple Music?

YES!! I was having a hard time pulling up the songs to listen through

The fact that it was not that subtle at all. I'm not focusing on the song title - I'm more or less focusing on the "I want ta bone ya" in the chorus. Not exactly the sexiest phrasing in the world - which is actually what I *would* have hoped for. But that is just me - anybody who really likes the song cool - in fact *I* like the song - just wasn't something I ever thought he'd drop.

.

Edit: about "Had U" - that is just brutal.

she's old enough to do ya but too young to dare....

The breakdown during Let's Pretend We're Married, "I sincerely want to f*ck the taste out of your mouth" has always shocked me, still to this day. Not only the words, but the delivery. I am shocked in a good way though! It's a real jolt. I think it has a sinister vibe...To me anyway.

Towards the end of Lovesexy (the song), he says something like "I wanna walk right down your walls", not quite sure what it means, but sounds dodgy, and includes an electronic beep, brilliantly placed, which adds to the suspicion he's being a naughty boy

[Edited 9/30/16 6:46am]

I have always found the lyrics in When I Lay My Hands On You a little sinister, in a good way.

I'm slightly surprised no one has mentioned Dance With The Devil on this thread, there is no one moment that I'd classify as sinister. It feels unbelievably frightening from beginning to end. The lyric mentions "He wants your soul and he wants it 2night" as it climaxes! Yet, I love the song and believe it is Prince at his most bone-chillingly direct...

IT'S TIME 4 YOUR MORNING BATH SIR

WHAT WOULD U LIKE 2 BATH IN THIS MORNING?

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT SIR
I THINK THAT, I THINK

UH OH

I DON'T WANT 2 PLAY ANYMORE

I DON'T WANT 2 PLAY ANYMORE

Pheromone is his most sinister song. Hands down.

I can see the castle
I can see the throne
I can see the beloved and she's not alone
But it's cool like that
Cause I'll be diggin' her just the same
I can see the curtain wrestled from the wall
I can see her hands tied
I can see it all
He pulls a gat
This is how they play the game
And I'm 'round the the back
Cause curiosity it knows no shame

I can feel the tension through the crack in the door
He begs for love, while she's disgusted more
And I'm on fire, cause I never seen her nude before
I want to save her (save her)
I want to watch (watch)
All my vital signs go up a couple of notches
When he unties her and she runs to the open door
He trips and grinds her (grinds her)
Right there all on the floor (on the floor)
She so close I can touch her (touch her)

Her eyes are closed but there's no penetration
He just makes her point the pistol to his nose
While he masturbates and now I see a tear
Heading down towards her smile
What happens next it all depends upon your style

Where do you even start with this?

It's not just a lyric it's a whole song that plays out as a story.

In the first verse he sets the scene up. The curtains wrestled from the wall as if this couple have been fighting. But he also refers to it as being "how they play the game". So it never becomes clear if this is a fantasy or reality. One line suggests reality the next suggests fantasy.

Does the girl kill this man? Is she smiling because she's got the gun? Or because her partner is about to come?

It all depends on you the listener as to how this plays out in the end. Fucking genius. But from a very dark place.

It didn't go down well with some 'fans' either. What was he thinking?

The song was not releashed to the public so he was not really thinking about we were going to think because we would not have been hearing the song.

You are joking! It was a theme he came back to repeatedly. Of course he thought about what we would think.

I just hope my attempted rapist has had more nightmares over his knife digging into his private parts than I have had about him dragging me around and telling me he would cut my throat. It's just a shame I never succeeded in cutting it off. That would have been a much better punishment than his short stay in prison.

Not that I am bitter or anything.

You have a theme of rape in the orignal "Extra Lovable" and people say in "Lust You Always" which I have never heard. What other songs does Prince sing about rape? I do not mean sex I mean rape.

If these two songs were not releashed in their orignal form Why would he be thinking about what the public would think if the public was not going to hear the offending lyric.

I am sorry for what you happend to you but I do not think Prince had a pro-rate vibe running threw his music.

Sinister might not be the right word, but Crysstal Ball in its entirity is so foreboding and ominous.

My Little Pill is a bit sinister.

To me, it's one of the most sinister lyrics ever from him. However, he's playing a voyeur, and watching a man overpower a woman. But it almost comes across that this is a scenario that they both want to be in (sort of like a dominant and a submissive). "How they play the game" seems to support that. But still - there's an interesting turn that she ends up with the gun, points it at him and makes him masturbate. She cries either out of sadness or just caught up in the moment.

The entire "If I Was Your Girlfriend" sounds to me like a man on the edge of something horrifying.

Never understood how anyone found Bob George sinister. I mean, it's just a parody of the hip hop stereotype. He was clearly doing it as a joke / standard hip hop sketch.

"Dead On It" was satire on hip-hop. "Bob George" was an angry man going after his girlfriend with a gun, and eventually ending in a shoot out.

"Papa" is also sinister. "There Is Lonely" is pretty dark, and is a cousin to "Empty Room" for me.

Empty Room is the most beautiful Prince song I have ever heard.

The first time I heard that lyric, it was whispered in my ear by a girl I really had a crush on. That's what started me on this wonderful journey. Also, the fact that the same girl told me that she would pleasure herself to Do Me, Baby. I just love that song just for the memories it brings back.

That's the great part about so many Prince songs--they instantly invoke certain moments in time...

Not sinister but very attention grabbing

I love it when Prince talks dirty to me.

Let's Pretend We're Married was my first favorite Prince song mainly because of the breakdown.

Like most P songs, I've always thought it was about oral sex lol

Well, yes, but it's bigger than that. It's him watching a guy make a girl force him to do things, and vice versa.

I just figured it would have been named already but here we are two pages in and it hasn't. So I guess it's been left up to me to show the hard cold truth.

It's actually...

"Eye Hate U"

There's Others Here With Us

"When I'm alone, my mind takes a drive
Through chocolate religion and spirits alive
All I was brought up, in this world yo know
Is lost when a demon swallows them whole

There's others here wih us
There's others here with us, I know

Strange how your mind works when love is in power
One learns to care; appreciate a flower
Oh what makes others want to change your mind?
All the things I've seen, life is so sublime (so sublime)

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know

Seven month old baby died in her sleep
Parents went crazy and cried for a week
They swore they heard her laugh in the crib by the wall
They're convinced she's with us if she's anything at all

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know

Bobby had an uncle, who took a string
Wrapped his neck around it, what a pitiful thing
If we could turn back the hands of time
Except there's others here with us, life is sublime

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know (I know)

All the things I've seen, all the things I've seen

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know..."

That song still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. But I love it.
