Alphabet St.: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 115 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Jerry Bonner and I head on down to Tennessee to discuss Prince’s dirty, fun Lovesexy hit, “Alphabet St.” Despite an amateurish-looking music video and racy yet cleverly coded lyrics, this track still became the biggest hit from the album. Not to mention, an appearance from Cat! We need her to rap! Don’t just sit there and…watch.

Rockhard In a Funky Place: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 113 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Angel Monique and I put on our grown-up hats to discuss Prince’s raunchy ode to uncontrollable tumescence, “Rockhard In a Funky Place.” This Black Album closer is silly, bawdy, and pretty damn fun. Camille is in rare form on this track.
