Stevie Wonder once said this was his fave Prince song..said something like he could see the story like a movie in his mind. Long before 50 shades.
I agree with Stevie Wonder..as well.
My Mom’s fave too!
Nikki was the original 50 shades…I love Prince. I used to sing this song at 8 years old never knowing what it meant. Just loved the way he sang it & the tune 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This song has an addicting energy! I can see an 8 year old jamming to it with no clue as to what’s being discussed 🤣 - 🎙 Wil
Fun fact my mom dated Dr. Fink, Matt Fink that was his keyboard player back in the day with the revaluation! Also have a friend that prince was his great uncle. May he rest in peace. ❤️
Matt is so precious. His hair was fire during the lovesexy years..
Dr. Fink is literally one of the best keyboard players of all time
Friends of mine from a Cleveland band had performed before him and with him. They loved it
This my brothers was PRINCE 🤴 his purple badness 💜💜💜. RIP 🙏 🪦.
He play a every instrument on all his albums
Beyond talented……Rob 🔒
Well, Not on all his albums. he did play all instruments on at least his first two albums I believe. Definitely a highly skilled multi-instrumentalist.
@@leeharrison8222 He played all the instruments on the first 5 albums. This was from his sixth album and yes, he played all instruments on this song.
Of his 40+ albums, he played at least 80% of all the instruments.
Not all, but most
@@suzeesix I worked at Paisley Park for 20 years. He rarely (after the first 4 records) played "most" tracks on his albums. He played EVERYTHING on "most" of the demo versions.
The last part of the song is played backwards and Spoiler: the secret message is "Hello, how are you?/Fine, fine, 'cause I know that the Lord is coming soon/Coming, coming soon."
That was the actual song that the congressman's daughter was listening to and his wife heard it and that's why they came up with the parental stickers for the albums that is the song that started it all
Tipper Gore
Vice President Al Gore's wife lost it. I remember her on the news advocating for the label.
"Darling Nikki" was the #1 song on the Filthily Fifteen song list by them en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parents_Music_Resource_Center#Filthy_Fifteen
@@blaqmarcif you listen to this and some of their music - same thing but they just added pop music to it and have everything code words.
I got this cassette when I was 12 on Christmas Eve. Listened to the tape front and back in my bed waiting for Christmas morning. I don't remember any of my presents, but I definitely remember hearing this tape for the first time.
She made him sign a waiver so she wouldn’t be responsible if he got hurt. That’s some S&M shit. 😂
Snoop said he learned about what 3somes was after listening to Prince.
That’s very understandable especially now after to listening to some of his songs……Rob 🔒
@@Roblockdn i get it
Not the intro was the foreplayyy 🤣🤣
😅 When it was all said and done, that was the best way that I could put it Kira lol - 🎙 Wil
I think watching the movie Purple Rain helps put this song into perspective. It’s basically a big f u to a girl who played with his emotions. Of course it’s all perspective because he had his own issues to deal with too. But she is in the audience, he is singing to her to make her feel uncomfortable. He’s saying these things about her that aren’t necessarily true but he was hurt and wanted to hurt her back.
Explicit stickers were placed onto albums because of this record, specifically this track
Makes complete sense now and I completely understand why they started to do it cause Prince was off the chain lol……Rob 🔒
They should have started 4 years earlier with his song called HEAD🤭😉😏
@@angiepronzola6622 maybe they would have if that album gained the traction and mainstream popularity as purple rain did. ☔
@@Roblockdn ....he set a lot of people free....he just seemed to be able to say....and do ....anything....because we were all thinking of it.... wanting to do it...he just...expressed what we all were...deep inside...
I was 9 when this was released and had NOOOOO BUSINESS listeninggggg 😂 My parents FAILED MEEEEE 😩😭😂😂😂
I heard it at 11! My mom (didn't speak ANY English) had NO IDEA WTF was listening to 😂
@@57kwest 🤣🤣🤣
My grandma bought the album when I was ten...I listened to it really low on my pink record player in my room. And then I had to get me a Walkman, okay?
@@mztweety1374 💯💯💯😆
😂😂😂 @ “my parents failed me”
If you listen to the song backwards it says "Hello how are you, fine, fine because I know the Lord is coming soon, coming coming soon."
A little context about the song. . In the movie Purple Rain, prince's character was jealous of Apollonia's relationship with Morris Day. This was his response to her on stage... he was kissing and telling...
Both of your reactions were FANTASTIC!!.
Thank you so much for reacting to this track.
Most reviewers will not.. due to the subject matter.
Oh wow I was 11 yrs old when this song came out. I heard it for the first time at the first boy girl party I ever went too. Oh the memories . Great reaction. 😎
The end of the song - when played in reverse - is Prince relaying a message of the second coming and the Lords return to Earth. Serious dichotomy in this song.
If you watch the movie purple rain the song will make whole lot more sense
Definitely gonna need to watch it again….. Rob 🔒
LOVE....PRINCE... so anything you guys react to from him, I was listening to gangster rap and it never phased me by lyrics, but this song, I felt a little embarrassed as a kid listening to it 😂 .... great reaction guys 👍
I listened to this as a young girl and I’m convinced it set me on a mission. 😂 I was a “good” girl but I had that Prince in the back of my mind till I found the right one.He’s a happy man. You’re right, I would sneak to listen to him.
Check out Head from his first album in 1978
I can only imagine with a tittle like that lol but we will definitely add it to our list…….Rob 🔒
3rd album.1980
Loved the reaction and your break down of this iconic song. I look forward to the next one!
This song is the reason parental advisory labels are put on music. This is where that came from.... fun fact
It was the sit-up after that master....line fa me 🤣🤣🤣
Waitttt not flickin the bean 😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂
At 5... I got spanked for singing this song... because I sang 'thank you for funky time" for years I thought funky was a bad word.
Brilliant song
this song led to the parental advisory warning on albums
i can clearly see why after listening to this lol......Rob
The end of the song was actually a message, you had to play the record backwards. Here it is ua-cam.com/video/PtYPWhiYTQ8/v-deo.html great reaction by the way.
Man.. I forgot about that! Lol.
What I heard was 'The Lord is Coming Soon !!!!😲😳
Prince 4ever!
The last part is wendy and Lisa talking backwards.
"HELLO, HOW ARE YOU, IM FINE ..."
IF YOU KNOW, THEN YOU DONT KNOW...
Little Nikki is a lady of the night.
This is one of my favorite Prince songs ❤
The last line was backwards. It says, "Hello, how are you? I'm fine. I'm fine 'cause I know that the Lord is coming soon. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha......"
Guys the last 20 seconds of the song is actually played backwards you need to play it in reverse to hear what Prince was actually saying. Was very cool back in the day. There are some you tube videos of the backwards part played the right way for you to hear
He signed a waiver.
i was like 4/5 when this song came out and i had no idea what is was about but i loved it, and my mom didn't know what the lyrics were saying at first LOL on a different note, since you said Nikki was probably in the studio during this song, when Prince recorded Scandalous he was dating Kim Basinger and some of the folks who worked on the album at the time said they had to leave cause Prince pulled out some honey with her. apparently after everyone left him and Kim had sex in the studio and then they used some of the sounds as effects in the song LOL so who knows, "Nikki" may have been in the studio too.
That’s one hell of a back story! Prince was no joke! Do you have any other track suggestions? - 🎙 Wil
Also... this whole album/soundtrack KILLED on radio
Last part of the song was, played backwards. It said that, I know that the Lord is coming soon.
In my opinion only two people are allowed to cover this song. Rihanna and Dave Grohl. Excellent covers and we are very protective of his legacy
Maybe guns'n'roses because nobody screams like Axl Rose.
Nah. Disagree..only prince . Ain't no one should cover any of his music
@@anastasialiberate3568 then he should have gotten help. It was hard to come to terms with the fact that he was human and yes covers are gonna happen. But make them respectful.
Y'all are great and hilarious!! I just wanted to say, I hope you don't mind, that to anyone reading this that is in Hurricane Ida's path, many prayers. Peace and Love.
So THATS why q-tip made that song!!!???!!! 😂😂😂
Probably
Please react Prince’s song “America”. There’s an official music video which is a live performance in France in 1985. PLEASE!!! Y’all won’t regret it!
Thanks for the suggestion and we will definitely add that to our list……Rob 🔒
@@Roblockdn ... That 9 min. live performance of ''America'' done in France '85 is a MUST REACT.
This is song stopped me in my tracks first time I heard it. Made me see Prince in a complete different perspective. So so, good.
Are you telling me in 2021 that you brothers have never heard this song from Prince?? 🤔
Millennials are defined by those born between 1981 and 1996. Most of them I know are early 90s. This song is from 1984. So by the time they were pre-teenagers they were listening to other things and moving along with the music trends at the moment. Keep looking thru UA-cam for ‘first reactions to Prince’ and you’ll be amazed at them not knowing Prince songs! But the coolest thing, they all pay respect to the man by indicating they want to hear more Prince!
This song is the reason why there are Parental Advisory stickers on explicit music. Yep. Tipper Gore (Al Gore's wife) bought the PURPLE RAIN soundtrack for her daughter, heard this song DARLING NIKKI, and decided to gather her political friends to form the PMRC (Parent Music Resource Center). Senate hearings occurred and both lawmakers and music execs decided to place those warning stickers on music that contained explicit content like sex, profanity, violence, etc.
Respect the Prince 💜♊️🦄🚺☔️
🙌🏾
She made him sign a sex contract. It’s something that a lot of BDSM participants use to set parameters of their consenting sexual trisk.
I know this was a year ago but yall must have seen the movie by now... u can't listen to the soundtrack without watchinbthe movie . Whole different experience.
The guitar is so cool on this one.
Drop the Sexy MF music video onto your list, for sure!
This is tame Prince. Do his song called Ripopgodazippa. It’s about him having sex on a weight bench with Carmen Electra.
Get the lyrics. It’s pretty graphic though
The last part you have to play the record backwards to hear what he's saying
How am I supposed to do that lol
You will have to have the album and a turn table...old school sorry. He basically says Hello, how are you ? I am fine cause I know Jesus is coming soon. Coming soon. Something to that effect.
u gotta react to if i was ur girlfriend by prince!!!
After this you need to hear I love you in me
*We don't have **_"Explicit Lyrics"_** stickers on records over here. The logic being if you understand what those words mean, you're old enough to listen to the song. And if you don't understand what the words mean, how can you be offended by them anyway? No Mo Nanny State. Just sayin' bro LOL.*
I understand that logic, where are you from? - 🎙 Wil
@@Roblockdn I'm from the Isle of Man, meaning my nationality is 'Manx'. We're a small, self-governing island nation midway between Ireland, Scotland, and England. We have our own currency, our own language (Manx Gaelic), and our own Prime Minister. We've never been part of the UK or the EU, though our Head of State is _'Mad Lizzie'_ (aka HRH Queen Elizabeth II). I suppose the 4 things we're known best for are (a) Being an offshore tax haven. (b) Being the home of the Isle of Man TT races. (c) Not having any speed limits on most of our roads. And (d) Being the birthplace of all 3 of 'The Bee Gees'. We were also once described by the UK and Irish media as; _"81,000 partying alcoholic millionaires, clinging to a rock in the Irish Sea",_ and I suppose that pretty much sums us up really? Although I don't think we're *all* millionaires... there are quite a few billionaires too! Life's too short to take anything *too* seriously, right? 👍🏽😉
That's pretty true I listened to Purple Rain when I was little and didn't understand untill i was in 8th grade.
Play the end backwards. It's a message.
He lived the life of a rockstar
Watch this LIVE!!
Nephews please react to "Diamonds and Pearls " by Prince. Diamonds and Pearls is a totally different vibe, from the artist, but is one of my personal favorites. Prince had so many lanes, and he refused to stay/perform in one. Prince was ALL genres, and he/intentionally refused to be tied to only one, as it relates to the music 🎶 industry, and pop culture. Please react to this song for auntie 🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤
Look up “Darling Nikki played backwards” here on UA-cam and then listen again!
The last part of the song sounded like backward masking it whatever they called it. Where it is played backwards. Need to take it and play it backawards to hear it play forewards to hear what it says. Lotsnofbold groups were known for hiding messages in songs through backwards masking. Lot of actual stuff and lots of myths of hidden subliminal messages in older songs.
This one wasn't a rumor or a hoax. It's very real. Play it backwards. It's a real message.
It says “Hello. How are you? I’m fine cuz I know that the Lord is coming soon. Coming soon”.
After all of that debauchery, he’s singing about the Lord. 😂
HAHAHAA..dying over here lol
you MUST see the movie to understand this song woot woot
There’s a Darling Nikki movie? - 🎙 Wil
@@Roblockdn Purple Rain is the movie
fun fact, Beyonce and Nicki Minaj did a cool tribute to this song
Great reaction love the respect for the music.
If you have not watched the movie purple rain the scene with the Darling Nikki song is one of the best. A well-placed song
When I was younger, and being named Nykkie (Nikki) dudes use to pick at me ,asking if I was a freak like her🙄🙄😅
The last part of the song.....if you play it backwards it's him singing a song to God
That song is why you need viynl. If you play the very end backwards it says, "Hello, how are you? I'm fine, because I know that the Lord is coming soon".
Lyrics:
I knew a girl named Nikki
I guess you could say she was a sex friend
I met her in a hotel lobby
Masturbating with a magazine
She said how'd you like to waste some time?
And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind
She took me to her castle
And I just couldn't believe my eyes
She had so many devices
Everything that money could buy
She said sign your name on the dotted line
The lights went out and Nikki started to grind
Ohh Nikki
The castle started spinning
Or maybe it was my brain
I can't tell you what she did to me
But my body will never be the same
Her lovin' will kick your behind
Oh, she'll show you no mercy
But she'll sho'nuff sho'nuff show you how to grind
Darlin' Nikki
Ohhhh
Woke up the next morning
Nikki wasn't there
I looked all over all I found
Was a phone number on the stairs
It said thank you for a funky time
Call me up whenever you want to grind
Oh, Nikki, ohhhh
Come back Nikki, come back
Your dirty little Prince
Wanna grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind
"Hello, how are you? I'm fine. 'cause I know
That the Lord is coming soon, coming, coming soon.
when this tape came out my mom recorded dead air over this song... i was in elementary school
He definitely talking about the devil and him signing his soul away
And, the "ha ha ha" part of this song was sampled on 2Pac's HEARTS OF MEN from the ALL EYEZ ON ME album. And, the very ending of this song is actually in reverse with the message saying "Hello? How are U? Fine, fine. 'Cause I know that The Lord is coming soon. Coming, coming soon". Yep. The very end is a message about the return of Christ but in reverse (back then it was called backmasking). The ending part spook some overly religious folks who falsely accused Prince of devil worshipping when in fact he was encouraging folks to love and follow God. Back when this song was released, music with blatant religious messages were too taboo for pop radio. So, Prince found creative ways to encourage folks to turn to God. Other songs with spiritual messages from PURPLE RAIN also include LET'S GO CRAZY and I WOULD DIE 4 U. LET'S GO CRAZY is really about seeking God ("pursh 4 a higher floor") in order to beat the devil (aka the de-elevator). "Are we gonna let de-elevator break us down? Oh no! Let's go. Let's Go Crazy. Let's get nuts. If we look 4 the purple banana 'til they put us in the truck".
Correct, back in the day on my Walkman when the tape came to the end of the batteries where getting low the tape wouldn’t auto switch to the Side b and it would start playing the same side backwards snd that’s how I discovered the actual words as your described (this only make sence if you had a Walkman and grew up in the early 80’s 😊)
You gotta watch the movie...Purple Rain, then you'll get it.
If you play that ending backwards its a message..it's called backwards masking
You MUST watch Purple Rain! You'll understand the meaning behind this song.
There is a x rated video to this, but it is hard to find, they did another video so they could play it on MTV. Much love to you and your families Brandi Modrak.
For the life of me I couldn’t find it. I remember tho.
😆😆😆😆😆
🤷🏾♂️😂
You dudes are missing the whole effect and vibe of this masterpiece
There's a video for this song
This beautiful girl, way too young for me, like barely an adult woman, hit on me in the bathroom of a tattoo parlor in the mid 00’s. These kinds of things happened to me a lot when I was in my 20’s and still frequented such establishments; often with pleasant results😆In fact, these things happened to most lesbians in many establishments 🤣 But this never happened to me before w/ a girl who could have just graduated from high school the week before…at least not when I was 3/4 into the legal drinking years.🤣 And hand to the Bible, this song started playing. She was gorgeous, but it felt icky cause she was so young. And the bathroom was kind of gnarly🥴 She touched my face, and smelled my hair, saying “you’re so sexy”. I gently took her hands away from me and I said “You’re really beautiful, and I’m flattered, truly. But Darling Nikki, it’s gonna be a no. I’ll be back in 5 years, when you’re grown grown” and bounced. Of course I never went back. Every single time I hear this song, that memory comes with it 😂 crazy ish.
This is nothin’. This was preceded by Head, Sister, Dirty Mind and Let’s Pretend We’re Married.
Yeah, Mans was the best first sex Ed teacher ever!
I don't understand how Tipper Gore didn't go back further in his catalog🤔🙄☔🎸💜🤷🏾♀
Have you all reacted to Head yet?
Why y'all blushin
React to "Head" by Prince.
React to Prince’s Sister on the Dirty Mind Album
Got it right...double meaning
React to some 2pac
Suggestions?
NASTY.
The end was God/Jesus is coming back. Are you ready? Backwards
"Darling Nikki" has the best claim to fame as being the number one song that "Filthy Fifteen" list that Tipper Gore, who was the wife of AL Gore (then a senator before he became vice president) freaked that her daughter was listening to it and went before congress and got those stupid "Parental Adversary Explicit Lyric" stickers put on music. For that 15 songs list of the worst offenders ever see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parents_Music_Resource_Center#Filthy_Fifteen
