For much of his career, there was an internal struggle within The Artist We Knew As Prince between spirituality and sexuality. Prince reveled in sex. Sexually explicit lyrics, sexually provocative dancing, sexually ambiguity and androgyny, playing around with gender roles, and just generally taking on taboos and putting them to a beat so big you could live in it.

Everybody’s got a favorite dirty ditty and Prince got real dirty. A lot. Dirty Mind wasn’t just the name of a Prince album. It was a operational statement. Here’s a dozen Prince songs with a sample lyric you probably don’t want to sing in the car when your mother is with you. Add “Do Me, Baby,” “Soft and Wet,” “Scarlet Pussy,” “Come,” or “Cream” to name just a few and you could put together a pretty nasty mix tape (do they still make mix tapes? )

1. Erotic City

If we cannot make babies

Maybe we can make some time

Fuck so pretty, U and me

Erotic City come alive

We could fuck until the dawn

Makin’ love ’til cherry’s gone

Erotic City, can’t U see?

Fuck so pretty, U and me

2. Sexy M.F .

U seem perplexed I haven’t taken u yet

Can’t u see I’m harder than a man can get

I got wet dreams comin’ out of my ears

I get hard if the wind blows your cologne near me

But I can take it, cuz I want the whole nine

This ain’t about the body, it’s about the mind

Come here baby, yeah

U sexy motherfucker

Come here baby, yeah

U sexy motherfucker

3. Head

Head till U’re burnin’ up

Head till U get enough

Head till U’re love is red

Head – love U till U’re dead

U know U’re good, girl

I think U like 2 go down

U wouldn’t have stopped but ah…

I came on your wedding gown

4. Darling Nikki

I knew a girl named Nikki

I guess u could say she was a sex fiend

I met her in a hotel lobby

Masturbating with a magazine

She said how’d u like 2 waste some time

And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind

5. P Control

Pussy got bank in her pockets

Before she got dick in her drawers

If brother didn’t have good ‘n’ plenty of his own

In love Pussy never did fall

And this fool named Trick wanna stick her

Uh, talkin’ more shit than a bit

‘Bout how he gonna make Pussy a star

If she come and sing a lick on his hit

Pussy said “Nigga, U crazy if U don’t know

Every woman in the world ain’t a freak (Pussy)

U can go platinum 4 times

Still couldn’t make what I make in a week (Pussy)

So push up on somebody that wanna hear that

Cuz this somebody here don’t wanna know (Pussy)

Boy, U better act like U understand

When U roll with Pussy Control”

6. Let’s Pretend We’re Married

My girl’s gone and she don’t care at all

And if she did, so what, come on baby, let’s ball

I wanna fuck U so bad it hurts, it hurts, it hurts

Ooh, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna fuck U

Yeah, I wanna, I wanna, ooh, I wanna fuck U

Look here Marsha, I’m not sayin’ this just 2 be nasty

I sincerely wanna fuck the taste outta your mouth

Can U relate?

My girl’s gone and she don’t care at all

And if she did, I wouldn’t care, let’s ball

7. Jack-U-Off

If U’re looking 4 somewhere 2 go

Girl, I’ll take U 2 a movie show

We can sit in the back and I’ll jack U off

I can’t give U everything U want

But I can take U 2 a restaurant

And if U’re not hungry, I’ll jack U off

If your man ain’t no good

Come on over 2 my neighborhood

We can jump in the sack and I’ll jack U off

If U’re tired of the masturbator

Little girl, we can go on a date, uh

And if U like, I’ll jack U off

8. Pheromone

I can feel the tension through the crack in the door

He begs 4 love, while she’s disgusted more

And I’m on fire, cause I never seen her nude before

I wanna save her (save her)

I want 2 watch (watch)

All my vital signs go up a couple of notches

When he unties her and she runs 2 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)

Pheromone, rush over me like an ocean

Pheromone, controllin’ my every motion

Pheromone, I’m helpless as a pet

Pheromone, when your body’s wet (body’s wet, body’s wet, body’s wet)

Her eyes are closed but there’s no penetration

He just makes her point the pistol 2 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

9. Rock Hard In A Funky Place

Rock hard in a funky place

Here comes a lady so u cover up

She’s a freaked out,

Funky electric mama with double cups

Say u, u could cop if u wanted 2

Because something near your leg

Is haunting u, such a disgrace

U’re rock hard in a funky place, ow!

Rock hard in a funky place

U was workin’ on the line

U could drop on her

But u couldn’t concentrate

When your dick saw her

Maybe if u cop a nut in the car (Maybe if u cop a nut in the car)

Maybe u could think

About playing guitar

10. Ripopgodazippa

Ripopgodazippa

I lay me girl down on the fake lamb fur

It’s fake but it’s still soft as what’s between her

Lavender oil come from the bottle like I do

Whenever I think about me zippa rippin’ so good

All down the body and devil between the thighs

Ripop go zippa and U get a big surprise

Ripopgodazippa, ripopgodazippa

If U flick of the pink plush, then this brother trippa

My girlie, how in the world did U learn this that U know?

Ripopgodazippa, etc. etc. so

Ripopgodazippa

Instead of walking inside, I just knock on the door

I take a look around until she beggin’ me “More, more, more!”

When I finally come inside, I’m standin’ perfectly still

“I can’t take no more!” Pump U then I will

“I just wanna call your name, but I don’t know what 2 say”

Ripopgodazippa

11. Tell Me How U Wanna Be Done

Shall I write the alphabet? (A B C D E F G)

Or shall I just write my name?

U tell me, U’re the ruler in this telephone game

I could be a slave when it comes down 2 U (Slave)

I’ll do any and everything U want me 2 do

U know why? (Why?)

Cuz I want U 2 have fun

So how U wanna be done?

(Yeah, baby, yeah!) (How U wanna be done?)

Baby, how U wanna, how U wanna be done?

Just say the word and we could start from number 1

And go the distance, baby, till U tell me 2 stop

I’d lose myself inside U till U get all I got

Talk 2 me, baby (yeah), tell me how U wanna be done

(Yeah, yeah)

I want U 2 imagine U’re making angels, angels in the snow

And kiss a hundred revolutions nice and slow

Then I see U on the beat do a def striptease

No, no, leave the Chanel around your neck – please, baby, please

Now do something I’ve never seen before (How U wanna be

done?)

Crawl over 2 me on your stomach – more, baby, more

Now pull me down on top of U and grind really fast

(Tell me how U wanna be done)

Take both hands with all your might and squeeze my… yeah!

Roll me over until U’re back on top

Then I want U 2 kiss me until I make U stop

That’s how, that’s how I wanna be done (Tell me how U wanna be

done)

(How U wanna be done?)

But the absolute DIRTIEST of dirty Prince tunes is from Dirty Mind and it’s..

12. Sister

I was only 16 but I guess that’s no excuse

My sister was 32, lovely and loose

She don’t wear no underwear

She said it only gets in her hair

And it’s got a funny way of stoppin’ the juice

My sister never made love 2 anyone else but me

She’s the reason 4 my, uh, sexuality

She showed me where it’s supposed 2 go

A blowjob doesn’t mean blow

Incest is everything it’s said 2 be

Oh sister – don’t put me on the street again

Oh sister – I just wanna be your friend

I was only 16 and only half a man

My sister didn’t give a goddamn

She only wanted 2 turn me out

She’d take a whip 2 me until I shout

Oh motherfucker, she’s a motherfucker, can’t U understand?
