Vagina: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast

1999 Era Demos, Lyrics, Music, Prince, Track By Track, , , ,

On episode 152 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, I try to make heads or tails of the not very explicit except for the song title, “Vagina.” A garage rock anomaly about a “half-boy, half-girl” that has mesmerized our narrator. Did we get what we wanted with this vault track?

The Second Coming: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast

Dirty Mind/Controversy Era Demos, Lyrics, Music, Prince, Track By Track, , , ,

Prince opened each show on the Controversy tour by playing an acapella gospel hymn, “The Second Coming,” over the PA system for concert attendees. What is this song actually about, though? On episode 149 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, I talk about the spirituality found within this short but effective track.
