You don't have to be beautiful to turn me on
I just need your body, baby, from dusk till dawn
You don't need experience to turn me out
You just leave it all up to me, I'm gonna show you what it's all about
You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your... kiss
You got to not talk dirty, baby, if you wanna impress me
You can't be too flirty, mama, I know how to undress me (Yeah)
I want to be your fantasy, maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me, we could have a good time
You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your... kiss
Yes, oh
I think I wanna dance, uh
Gotta, gotta, oh
Little Girl Wendy's Parade
Gotta, gotta, gotta
Women, not girls, rule my world, I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama, not your shoe size, maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty to have an attitude, uh
You just leave it all up to me, my love will be your food (Yeah)
You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm compatible with!
I just want your extra time and your kiss
Whoo-hooo!
I agree! Let's party like it's 1999!
The catch-beat is a genius hook: "I just want your extra time and your ... kiss."
I vote 9.
Sounds like a cat being tortured. I just don't get princess, talented guitar player but puke performer/songwriter trash.
Her music always sounds thin and wispy like a parody or something. Time to tune in something else.
(Still better than talk performer leon cohen any day)
Who or what is "princess" in this word salad? Or are you having a rather feeble pop at Prince's sexuality/gender?
I read (Milli) Vanilli
With you on both points. If you haven't seen it, check out his solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - at the end of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y. Truly amazing. Got to feel a tad sorry for the guy who was carrying the lead prior to that ...
Thanks for the link... Not a big fan of Prince's music either but WOW what a talent

The same could be said of your giving Radiohead a lot of 1s for their tracks. Are you saying that you too can be an elitist from time to time or are you just a plain vanilla hypocrite?
Yeah ... tho I'm not sure it's the 'core' of RP listeners, but it's certainly true of some subset thereof.
it does seem to get a bit to "Adult Contemporary" around here sometimes
Skydog, You were my first friend to play Prince for me, Dirty Mind I think?

Listen to the minimalism here: the vocal, the simple rhythm track, the weirdly gated drums, the sparse rhythm guitar and minimal backgrounds - but it's all a percolating funk.
Women not girls rule my world.
Act your age not your shoe size.
You don't have to watch Dynasty to have an attitude.
Can you tell he's just having some fun here?
And bonus points for a mid-80's track that doesn't sound dated.

According to whom?

Not conservative. Willfully 'non-commercial' which is kinda sad. If it was a hit, it's can't possibly be cool, in their minds. Such a tired elitist trope.

There was a stretch in the 80s where he was writing the equivalent of a song a day. Quite the work ethic. The only other musician I can think of that is at it everyday (and probably also has a massive vault of unreleased music) is Eddie Van Halen. Workaholics :-)
One of Prince's bones of contention with Warner was their unwillingness to release music as often as he wanted to. He should've been born 15 years sooner and release 5 albums in 3 years like Dylan in the mid 60s.
Thing is, I don't think "he tries so damned hard" which is what makes him brilliant. He just works a lot.

Oh Bill... that was not nice.
I don't love everything he does, but I love that he tries so damned hard and succeeds so often.

Tom Jones' cover of this was icky — sounded like he was passing a gallstone. Fine, Prince sounds pained here too, but it takes balls to rock a falsetto for an entire song like this (ironically). Just fun — it's the 'Hey Ya' of the 80s — if you gave it a '1', I can't help you...

tzzzz...!
I agree, has a nice beat, but is so bad lyrically and musically unimaginative for someone as talented as Prince.
light that axe up . . . but this
that was amazing!!

agreed.
Great times and memories—thanks RP!
I like a lot of his stuff, just not this song.

You are right about that. He has a lot of better stuff.
Station Changer
I also saw Tom Jones perform this song, and have to agree with others that it was outstanding.
No doubt. I just heard Purple Rain album reviewed on sound opinions (podcast), and I had to go back and listen to that album. I've always loved Prince - and Darling Nicki is one of my favs.
Wearing a blouse...
hell no.
Yeah, pancakes.
AGREED! And for all the musically deficient nay-sayers on this post: Act your age not your show size!

Yep, even though personally I can't stand Prince's music, the variety and the surprizes are what keep me listening!
Me, too. Enjoying the ride, this morning....
OOHHH HELL YES.
Out of my chair for this one! Yeeha!
He went off the boil years ago but for a brief period (around 85 - 90) Prince produced some amazing music. This one has what is still probably my favourite guitar break of all time - only ten seconds, but pure genius.
Bop bop bop....
