The Artist Known as Prince

"Little Red Corvette" was the first song I listened to non-stop, the first
Prince song I told others that they had to hear. Sure, you could get sick
of "1999" or mock it (although it's got one of the funkiest grooves in
music), but the slow thigh-thrust of the synths at the beginning of "Little
Red Corvette" hit something deep and primal. After that, we'd talk about
how crazy sexual Prince was, with songs like "Jack U Off" and its
gender-neutral use of that phrase, and the winking subversiveness of
"Sister," calculated to fuck with the tight-assed crowd. Sample lyric: "My
sister never made love to anyone else but me/She's the reason for my, uh,
sexuality." That's hilarious, and if you didn't know that, the joke was you.

and

The song "Come" is an ode to pussy-eating, encouraging women to want to
fuck, too. In Reagan's America, that shit was practically treasonous. If
you were old enough to fuck in the 1980s, at some point, you either fucked
to Prince songs or with Prince's music in the back of your mind,
controlling the rhythm of your sex.
