Thank you. At least someone understands the many hidden things you can find in Prince's lyrics.

The OP's interpretation of the song is perfectly sensible. Regardless of whether you agree with her or not, it's utterly stupid to ridicule her for it. Analysing lyrics should be one of the key ingredients to a good fan forum, but here on the Org certain users will always write off that kind of thing as crackpot conspiracy theories or the ravings of a madman. I know it's only a minority, but this particular brand of anti-intellectualism (for want of a better word) is still annoying. | |

DN lyrics are concrete and doesnt call for analysis. Maybe the song Purple Rain does, yes. Dont speak of anti-intellectualism when you are trying to defend 'fan fiction' of Darling Nikky. I mean Nikie. That brand of anti-intellectualism is what's annoying. But I realize I need to understand that not everyone is capable of intellectual discussion when it comes to Prince. I admit part of my ego expects others to be able to and when they can't or don't, it is frustrating. Frustrating because it seems to relegate the greatest musician of our time to grade school fandom instead of the respect he deserves.
I'll try to have a better outlook from here on out. I apologize.

Not sure why you are being attacked in this thread? Prince, plenty of his songs are open for interpretation. Isn't that how he wanted it? i think i want ya | |

Some rather vocal members of this community like to peddle the idea that Prince was a simpleton that didn't reach any level of sophistication without the help from certain band members. It follows from this that DN having been written and recorded by Prince alone doesn't "call for analysis". The wooh is on the one! | |

Your head is so large I wonder how you make it into a room. Get over yourself.
We are not talking about any grade school so maybe we should be questioning your intellect.
Oh I realize I spelled the title wrong because I was typing this on my phone but because it is bugging you I am not going to change it. Maybe it will make you go away and find something else to do rather then derail this topic. Now back to the discussion. | |

You have been a member of this community since 2002 so I can only imagine the crap you have read and had to subject yourself to! I feel your pain! [Edited 2/27/17 10:33am] i think i want ya | |

Of course he wanted it that way but I am sure someone thinks "Let's Get Crazy" is about looking for Purple Bananas in a truck | |

"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.

I've always thought this song was about selling your soul to the devil. Interesting, I didn't know that would be a controversial interpretation. | |

Complete drivel, mods lock this shit. Prince was not a devil worshipper or a satanist. True satanists like myself are sick of being lumped in with the devil and devil worshipping. The devil is a Christian construct, to acknowledge it, is to acknowledge Christianity. . Satanism is about perprtual indulgence through sex, lust, joy, food andother indulgences. It ahs nothing to do with devil worship or sacrificing children/virgins/animals etc to the Devil. . Also the song is called Darling Nikki, not Nickie - can the o/p read or duz the presyden Adolf Dumpf do that for hur?. . Cockamamie is how that word is spelled. We should have a compulsory IQ test that eliminates people with IQ's of below 90 from posting here. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

All that time at Satan school and you missed out on basic reading. | |

Just waiting for someone to start a discussion about Head (the song, not giving it)
Because the music industry sucks big time or something like that. | |

I see it more as anger at some of his fans, the ones giddy over him because of his looks and sexy dancing and some of his sexy antics. He wanted to get their attention with sex then (maybe) communicate a deeper message, but some fans just didn't let up. Darling Nikki may have been a way to say "all you want is sex? Here's some sex mother fuckers". The hotel lobby full of horny girls and boys out of control might have pissed him off at some point, so he got sarcastic and dealt with his anger that way.

This is a theory I've seen before, but I admit I'm surprised to see it from you laura. I always considered you rather lucid in your comments. | |
