Few musicians match the genius and musicianship of Prince Rogers Nelson. He changed the music industry with his funky bass lines and outrageously intriguing lyrics. Prince is well-known for his sexually suggestive lyrics. Tracks like ‘Head,’ ‘Sexuality,’ and ‘Let’s Pretend We’re Married’ seemed to be a slow building foreplay into ‘Darling Nikki.’

This track is not believed to have been performed live by Prince, although one line, “The more you scream, the nastier I get”, was spoken as an introduction to Let’s Pretend We’re Married during a few shows. ” PrinceVault
