PRINCE - DARLIN NIKKI REACTION

[@skywalkerprice106]

This song is one of the reasons why there are parental warnings on albums. I love Prince. I've grown up listening to his music and he is the reason why I wanted to learn how to play guitar. May he rest in peace 💜

[@lashawnwilliams5664]

This is a true story. Prince and this album is one of the reasons we have the advisory labels on music

[@skywalkerprice106]

All thanks to Tipper Gore who thought it was shocking that there was no warning on the album!

[@johnbrown577]

👏🏿

[@adamsgrad93]

Specifically this song is the one Tipper Gore heard her daughter listening to when she lost her shit.

[@mztweety1374]

For decades I thought it was 2 Live Crew🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Daehawk]

Never surprises me the reactions Prince songs get today. This was all typical in the 80s. Loved those days.

[@looneygardener]

Prince was a spicy little fellow.

[@mztweety1374]

That's putting it lightly

[@TimothyLafreniere]

In stature, but little by no means

[@JemJam2976]

Prince was a freaky ass gemini

[@looneygardener]

@@JemJam2976 that is not surprising!!!

[@LA-fz5qw]

The song on the purple rain album that I had to turn down if I thought my parents were around when I was listening to it at 13

[@mztweety1374]

I knew that at 10 years old Tipper Gore's daughter not so much

[@blaqmarc]

Same here

[@blaqmarc]

Thank goodness for Walkman

[@xXTheoLinuxXx]

I was 13 too, but Dutch (we were a bit more liberal with that kind of lyrics). When my dad heard this song he was laughing, so I had no problems while listening.

[@GenXfrom75]

oh yes! I was 10 in 1985!

[@kosmokenny]

There's a reason for the Bloodhound Gang lyric "me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about"

[@michaelgilbert197]

BAHAHA!!! Has she done "The Bad Touch" from Bloodhound gang?? Mr. Video and JayveeTV's reactions were hysterical!!

[@a.zimmerman1867]

Few reactors never seem to "get" that line. Probably because they aren't old like me! 🤣

[@mztweety1374]

See, I’d need a steroid shot for that. Damn arthritis 🎸☔️❤️💜🤦🏾‍♀️🎹😂🤷🏾‍♀️

[@proudmomofbug]

Not the same without Prince grinding on stage! You can't hear the words very well in the live versions though. Now that you've heard it you need to look up a live version to see the performance. Prince was def spicy... and sexy af!

[@mztweety1374]

The boy was a mess.😂

[@stretchgilbert]

Gotta see the movie "Purple Rain" It's a classic that let the masses know what many of us already knew. Prince was a genius. RIP

[@teresageron5480]

"She said sign your name on the dotted line..." ---HE HAD TO SIGN A WAIVER!!!! LOL For his softer side, The Beautiful Ones & Pink Cashmere are definitely worth it.

All I know is that if U play the ending of Darling Nikki backwards it says: "Hello, how r U? I'm fine 'cause I know that the Lord is coming soon. Coming, coming soon." -Great reaction J... FYI

[@mztweety1374]

That's how I learn how to play a song backwards

[@chuckragland6100]

Thank you!! I ALWAYS wondered what it was!😀

[@connieleighton4375]

Lol Prince has a whole lot of songs that will make you blush, definitely need to watch the movie, been a fan from his first album...♡

[@Cadesbaee]

most definitely 💜💜

[@jammck1399]

Dearly beloved We are gathered here 2 day with this song called Darling Nikki. Lawd, back in June 1984 as a 4 yr old someone in my family went 2 the wrecka stow and bought the Purple Rain Soundtrack from Prince and the Revolution, this struck me to the core and yes you are right it is such a spicy song but still love it 2 death.

[@sandragray4598]

Rest In Peace ☮️ Jun 07, 1958 - Apr 21, 2016

[@jtpencils]

LOL! Your expression was priceless. But you can’t deny Prince had a few “Spicey!” songs in his catalogue!!

[@Van1973Auken]

OH I CLICKED ON THIS QUICK! This is my favorite Prince song ever! Purple Rain is my #1 Soundtrack, I can listen to this on repeat for days. Awesome reaction!

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yessss

[@Vikki-Waiting-victoriagrace]

Think this song was The reason parental guidance was introduced - literally i was - love that - i used to look for his albums (yes vinyl) back in the 80s looking for that sticker first !!

[@cookypuss8603]

The scene in the movie when he performs this song is great. Probably the one person i regret not seeing in person before he passed.

[@chelseastephens2990]

I saw him twice. Once when I was 8 (very educational for an 8 year old 😆) and again when I was 15. They were both great concerts!

[@RenR70]

Prince got lots of jams like this, check out “Head” or “Erotic City” w/Shiela E.

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

She did “Head.” Time for “The Beautiful Ones!” 🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@venussuz69]

Check out "Gett off" - classic!

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

@@venussuz69 absolutely agree! Me and my best friend were just talking about that song a couple days ago- we would listen to it while getting ready to go out, back in the day- great memory!!

and Dirty Mind

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Heck look up the Vanity Six song "Vibrator"

[@bobbithompson279]

I haven't started watching yet but I saw this in my notifications and got happy af.

[@LordRahl1975]

You really should watch the movie. It is a great album (one of the first I was ever bought as a gift) but it resonates even better when you see the movie. This song is a significant pivot point in the storyline of the movie.

[@Baron-Larrey]

What a fantastic song this is. The instrumental arrangements are just amazing.

[@julilla1]

This album and movie came out when I was in jr high or just starting high school. It was so scandalous, this song! Loved your reaction.

[@antoniolmartinez8426]

Omg definitely P control!! Actually, there are so many Prince songs that are hyper sexual you have a wide selection. The albums Dirty Mind and Controversy will make you blush.

[@LitHouseTieDye]

When this came out my sister and I got the cassette for Christmas. We couldn't wait to run in our room and listen to this song. We had heard about it from friends. We listened to it really low with our finger on the stop button in case our parents came in. Prince taught me so much lol

[@floorticket]

His 1980 album "Dirty Mind" should be fun.

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

Now you know why your friend laughed 😅

[@stevenhicks4601]

You need to see him do this song live!!!

[@michaelgilbert197]

Love Prince..... Gotta do "Little Red Corvette", "Let' Go Crazy" or "I Would Die 4 U".... This song though, made some waves with us teenagers parents when the album came out.... Think it's part of the reason for the parental warnings on "records" now.

[@tonyhaynes9080]

Her reaction to Little Red Corvette, is not only brilliant, but hilarious as well.

[@swannydeehosinpepper9655]

He left us with enough music in his vault to release an album every year for the rest of this century..

[@mztweety1374]

They need to hurry up and release it faster . I’m 47, I ain’t go time to wait!

[@melissagottlieb3381]

Priceless reaction! Prince was a dirty boy and we loved it!! Best musical score of an orgasm!!

[@laurabuie3224]

I saw Prince perform this song during The Purple Rain Tour😎! Listening to the instrumental parts bring back his vivid "grinding" etc after all these years😳💜💜! I've been to about 60 concerts and that one still stands out!! As others have commented: You Must Watch the Movie😉🎉😻🌟👍!!!

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Thank you so so much for posting this deliriously naughty and creative song. Not to mention you posted the Entire Album Version. Thank you. I LOVED LOVED your perfect reaction!!!.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Thank you for even having the courage.. to post this gem of a song.

[@jjjones8609]

This song IS the main reason why we have the explicit warning stickers on albums. And Prince was fine with that. He didn't want kids listening to this song.

[@michaelwheeler109]

Oh, yeah! He was VERY explicit with almost all of his songs!!!

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Amen and we loved every second. ❤️ 💙 💜

[@Tijuanabill]

One of the many origins of the Bloodhound Gang line, "You do the kind of things that only Prince would sing about."

[@mask316]

I think the thing about Prince that made him a bit different in this song and songs like let pretend we're married, lady cab drive, cream, get off etc is his honesty it didn't feel made up for record sales like some others when they try to be "spicy". The non spicy side of him is deep also and seems very honest, the cross, beautiful ones, controversy, my name is prince etc. He defiantly is a rabbit hole worth jumping into. I was happy to see you pop up on notifications with this. Be loved you are

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yesssss! Love all you mentioned and more! R.I.P. Prince 💜🙌🏻

[@UniversalBlackRocker]

Happy Monday beautiful queen! You definitely got me with my musical daddy. He was the first artist I saw live at 6 years old. It was the Lovesexy Tour in 1988. And what a great way to start off the 5th anniversary of his passing. I do miss him and if he was still alive, I want to thank him for inspiring me to be a musician, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist

[@sarahschatzrussellrealty688]

Prince was amazing!! Played 20 instruments, self taught and was an amazing guitar player!!

[@margi6035]

Loved your reaction. I am 70 and that brought a smile to my face. He was something else.

[@papabones6307]

I wore out three cassettes of this Album when it came out. Always playing it in my ride back in the day. Still kickin' music. Prince was such a great artist!!

[@jasonmgomez]

The end choir sounding vocals are actually a reverse message from Prince, running completely contrary to the message of the song. If you play the song backwards from end to beginning, you will hear prince sing, "Hello, how are you. Fine. Fine. Cause I know that the Lord is coming soon, Coming, Soon, Soon." Not many people know this, even 38 years after the song came out.

[@ritacarducci344]

Ohhh yessss everything Prince I'm here 😃💜

Hey Jayy! 😅 yes, the movie Purple Rain is a movie as well- Prince himself stars in it.

Can't tell you how well the songs on the album works in context with the movie. This song fits so well with the movie and you'll know exactly who "Nikki" is that he's digging in on.

[@americanmutt9089]

The movie Purple Rain was filmed in Minneapolis Minnesota. All of the concert scenes were shot at the nightclub called "1st Avenue" where alot of famous performers have played. Paisley Park his home and studio in Chanhassen is painted purple. Checkout the movie it is epic. And, Checkout Morris Day and the Time- Jungle Love and The Bird.

[@evilpapa6013]

Almost all his early albums had warnings on them. Cracking up at you blushing during the song.

[@nightbird1314]

Little Red Corvette is spicy too. I had a "lady of the evening" living next-door circa 1985 and every time she had a John she'd play that song. Memories....lol much love Queen. 💚

[@hollywoodpotato5289]

One of the greatest soundtracks/albums ever! The whole thing

[@mattevans4438]

Context of the song from the movie: Prince was jealous of Appplonia's relationship with Morris Day. This was his response... He was kissing and telling on stage. You have to see the movie.

[@kaula300]

This is the song that got warning labels put on records and CD's and tapes back in the day. Tipper Gore who was the wife of then Vice President Al Gore bought Purple Rain for her daughter. And when she heard Darlin Nikki playing she lost it because it said the word masturbation in it. Now in today's time that's mild, but in 1985 that was a no no. And in Tipper Gore's eyes Prince was persona non grata, and she started a campaign to actually try and get his album removed from the shelves, but when she couldn't get that the record industry made an agreement to put warning labels on the covers of the albums.
