Erotic city

All of my purple life
I've been looking for a dame
That would wanna be my wife
That was my intention, babe

If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty you and me, erotic city come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love til cherrys gone
Erotic city can't you see, thoughts of pretty you and me

Everytime I comb my hair
Thoughts of you get in my eyes
Ure a sinner, I don't care
I just want your creamy thighs

If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty you and me, erotic city come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love til cherrys gone
Erotic city can't you see, thoughts of pretty you and me

All of my hang-ups are gone
How I wish you felt the same
We can funk until the dawn (til the dawn) (until the dawn)
How I wish you were my dame (baby wont you call my name)

If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty you and me, erotic city come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love til cherrys gone
Erotic city can't you see, thoughts of pretty you and me

Baby, ure so creamy

If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty you and me, erotic city come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love til cherrys gone (til the dawn)
Erotic city can't you see, thoughts of pretty you and me

If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time (you and me)
Some time, some time, some time, erotic city
If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty you and me, erotic city come alive

We can funk until the dawn, making love til cherrys gone (come alive)
Erotic city can't you see, thoughts of pretty you and me
We can funk until the dawn, making love til cherrys gone
Erotic city

Prince says "fuck". Sheila E was uncomfortable with it so she sings "funk".

It was scheduled to be on his Ultimate Hits double CD but he requested the label not use it because of the profanity.

It's even listed on the Remastered Deluxe Purple Rain as explicit lyrics.

As a kid I was fascinated with the vocal arrangements. Originally I thought Prince did all of the vocals. It wasnt until I was an adult that I realized Sheila did some of the vocals
:hmm:

Really? You can clearly tell that a woman is singing with him. Not sure how you could have ever thought that was him. I thought however it was Sheena Easton.

Prince Makes ‘Erotic City’ Come Alive: 365 Prince Songs in a Year
Mike Joseph
June 5, 2017



Prince created great music more often than some of us brush our teeth. This resulted in an incredible amount of unreleased material, and a treasure trove of B-sides (most of which are collected in 1993’s The Hits/The B-Sides compilation). 1984’s “Erotic City” (subtitled “make love not war Erotic City come alive”) is one of the most celebrated, arguably the most popular and surely one of the most controversial, of Prince’s “killer Bs”.

Released in the summer of 1984 as the flip to the wildly successful “Let’s Go Crazy," the sleazy funk of “Erotic City" served to extend an olive branch to fans who may have felt slighted by the A-side’s anthemic rock sound. Black radio took to the track like moths to a flame, and “Erotic City” got major airplay in dance clubs (joining its A-side at the top of Billboard’s Club Play chart) as well as Prince stronghold markets like Detroit.

Drawing inspiration from George Clinton’s “Atomic Dog” (which Prince ostensibly saw a performance of when he caught Parliament-Funkadelic’s set at L.A.’s Beverley Center in 1983) and Laid Back’s “White Horse” (an enormous dance hit at the time), “Erotic City” contains a cacophony of voices; some sped-up, some slowed down, some belonging to Prince himself, some belonging to his latest protege, Bay Area percussionist and vocalist Sheila E. References to “creamy thighs” and “making love till cherry’s gone” make the song’s focus pretty clear...if the title “Erotic City” didn’t already spell it all out.

One thing that isn’t totally spelled out is exactly what Prince and Sheila are singing in the chorus. Most fans conclude that the infamous f-word is repeatedly used (“We can f--- until the dawn" and "f--- so pretty, you and me") while Sheila has indicated that the word used is “funk." Of course, in light of Prince and Sheila’s religious conversions later in life (and the fact that Prince was certainly not scared of the f-word during his heyday), it's more likely that the obscenity was the word of choice. The FCC would seem to agree, as it has levied fines against radio stations that have played an unedited version of “Erotic City”.

“Erotic City” has far outlived its B-side status. Prince revived it for 1996’s soundtrack to the Spike Lee film Girl 6. Dance clubs (to say nothing of strip clubs) still give the song major play, and there are plenty of pop, dance and hip-hop songs that either rip off “Erotic City”’s memorable synth hook or the song’s overall sleazy vibe. Furthermore, the song has been covered by a host of artists, including Berlin, Beck and Semisonic (perhaps paying tribute to their Minneapolis roots). Whether you think Prince is singing about f---kin’ or funkin’, there’s no doubt that “Erotic City” is a slinky, sleazy, danceable masterpiece.

I was in a Lounge many years ago and this comes on....



Nuestra presentacion especial comenzara en breve
[Our special presentation will start shortly]
Pero antes un mensaje de nuestros auspiciadores
[But first a message from our sponsors]
Uh, yeah
Uh
Good mornin' ladies and gentlemen ("What hotel number is she in?")
Boys and motherfuckin' girls ("319, 319" "Cool")
This is your captain with no name speakin'
And I'm here to rock your world
With a tale that will soon be classic
About a woman you already know
No prostitute she, but the mayor of your brain
Pussy Control (Are you ready?)

Pussy Control, oh
Pussy Control, oh

Our story begins in a schoolyard
A little girl skipping rope with her friends
A tisket, a tasket, no lunch in her basket
Just school books for the fight she would be in
One day over this hoodie
She got beat for some clothes and her rep
With her chin up, she scolded "All y'all's molded
When I'm rich, on your neck I will step"
And step she did to the straight A's
Then college, the master degree
She hired the heifers that jumped her
And made everyone of them work for free?
No! Why?
So what if my sisters are triflin'?
They just don't know
She said "Mama didn't tell'em what she told me
Girl, you need Pussy Control" (Are you ready?)

Pussy Control, oh
Pussy Control, oh

Pussy got bank in her pockets
Before she got dick in her drawers
If brother didn't have good and plenty of his own
In love Pussy never did fall
And this fool named Trick wanna stick her
Uh, talkin' more Schick than a Bic
'Bout how he gonna make Pussy a star
If she come and sing a lick on his hit
Pussy said "Nigga, you crazy if you don't know
Every woman in the world ain't a freak
You can go platinum four times
Still couldn't make what I make in a week
So push up on somebody wanna hear that
Cause this somebody here don't wanna know
Boy, you better act like you understand
When you roll with Pussy Control" (Are you ready?)

Aaah, Pussy Control, oh
Aaah, Pussy Control, oh

With one more verse to the story
I need another piece of your ear
I wanna hip you all to the reason
I'm known as the player of the year
Cause I met this girl named Pussy
At the Club International Balls
She was rollin' four-deep
3 sisters and a weepy-eyed white girl drivin' her haul
I pulled up right beside her
And my electric top went down
I said "Motherfucker, I know your reputation
And I'm astounded that you're here
I fear you're lonely and you want to know
A twelve o'clock straight up nigga
That don't give a shit that you're Pussy Control
Well I'm that nigga, at least I wanna be
But it's gonna be hard as hell
To keep my mind off a body
That would make every rich man
Want to sell, sell, sell (seventy five, we need another, eighty five, eighty five here, sold!)
Can I tell you what I'm thinkin' that you already know?
You need a motherfucker that respects your name"
Now say it, Pussy Control (Are you ready?)

Pussy Control, oh
Pussy Control, oh

And the moral of this motherfucker is
Ladies, make'em act like they know
You are, was, and always will be Pussy Control (Are you ready?)
Peace and be wild (Aaah, Pussy Control)
Say what, huh? (Oh)
Oh no, don't you think about callin' her a ho (Are you ready?)
You juvenile delinquent
Best sit your ass down
Talkin' about Pussy Control
Huh, can you dig it?
Pussy Control (Are you ready?)
Oh (Are you ready?)
Pussy Control (Are you ready?)
Oh (Are you ready?)

I guess I must be dumb
Cause you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan, and some of them used
But it was Saturday night,
I guess that makes it alright
and you say, "what do I got to lose"
