“You think my neurosis is just a phase / You’ve got a wonderful ass.” It’s no secret what the late, great 🎙 Prince refers to on 🎵 “Wonderful Ass” – A$$ 🍑.  Prince utters the word ass repeatedly, never missing an opportunity, it seems.  A prime example of his poetry: “I guess what it is that I hate your ideas of fun (Oh yeah?) / But baby I rate your ass number one”). Well, I guess having a no. 1, award-winning a$$ is an honor, particularly when it comes to 👉👌… Moving on!

“Wonderful Ass” graces the expanded edition of his iconic 💿 Purple Rain album (1984). Of course, the biggest ‘controversy’ of Purple Rain was undoubtedly a reference to masturbation in 🎵 “Darlin Nikki”.  It is worth noting, Prince mentions self-love on “Wonderful Ass,” though the line is less colorful compared to “Nikki” (“Masturbate / Stimulate, stimulate, stimulate”). All told, “Wonderful Ass” only furthers the Purple One’s penchant for sex back in the day. Even back in the day, the booty 🍑 was a big deal!
