So my name is Endorphin
I can make you happy you see
I come from planet Venus and I'll take you there
You could be my ecstasy
The '80s are over and the time has come
For a new proclamation of love and fun
Monogamy and trust, is what I'm talkin' 'bout
I'll give up all my lovers if you can make me shout, Oh

S is for scandalous
E is for exciting
X is for adults only
Let's do something frightening

Sex, sex, can't stop the feelin' baby, nobody should
Sex, sex, anything this dangerous, has to be good

Now I'm the type of alien
Who knows just what he wants
But U're the type who plays in the trees
You got it, maybe that's why you float
I climb a thousand trees if I have to
But baby I'm warnin' you
One of us is gonna end up on our knees

Sex, sex, can't stop the feelin' baby, nobody should
Sex, sex, anything this dangerous, has to be good

Good, good

Just has to be sex
Sex

(Get up) on the chair baby, let me dance under your skirt (get up)
Everybody on the dance floor now
Get up, on the table now, let me show you how to flirt (get up)

I like it baby, when you let me touch you there
I like it, girl, I knew you wasn't wearin' any underwear

Baby, is it wrong, that I want you so
I want you baby
I want you now

S.E.X

Sex, sex, can't stop the feelin' baby, nobody should
Sex, sex, anything this dangerous, has to be good

Just has to be good
Fellas - all the boys that know 'bout the good thing, say yeah yeah
And all the girls with no underwear on say yes (yes)
We're gettin' funky tonight
Sex
Yo, pick this up
Fellas, I want everybody sayin'it on the one, come on: "S.E.X."
Say it S.E.X. come on S.E.X. say it S.E.X
Keep that goin', Fellas
Come on (S.E.X.) yeah (S.E.X.) come on (S.E.X.)
Ladies (S.E.X.), back'em up (S.E.X.), one time: "is the best"
Come on (is the best, is the best, is the best)

One lover: sex (I don't think U heard me)
One lover: sex (yeah)
Two lovers: death (quit it)
Two lovers: death

So my name is Endorphin, I can make you happy you see
I come from planet Venus and I'll take you there
You can be my ecstasy

Now's the time for you to rock the nation with love and fun
Do the nasty with one love, but only one

Oh Sex

Prince

An American singer-songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and actor that produced 22 RIAA-platinum albums during his 40-year career, Prince may be known for one of many different things – his turn as “The Kid” in the iconic film/album/8 ½ minute ballad “Purple Rain”, being the writer behind the acclaimed anthem “Kiss,” rivaling Michael Jackson at the pinnacle of his career, being the inspiration behind censorship laws, or being the artist addressed as an unpronounceable symbol throughout the 1990s—but while many know of Prince, most don’t fully understand the impact his legacy left on this world.

Going by many aliases throughout his life, Prince Rogers Nelson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7, 1958 with his father’s (John L. Nelson) stage name as his own given one. Growing up, Prince suffered from serious epileptic seizures at a very young age, but he had wrote his first composition of many by age seven, and outside of his love for basketball, he wanted music to be his purpose in life. His tumultuous childhood, witnessing alcoholism and abuse, caused him to find refuge in neighbor André Cymone’s home in his teens, where the two competed in local band competitions, leading to Prince’s introduction to Morris Day alongside music with his cousin’s band 94 East, leading him to be courted by record labels and ultimately signed to Warner Bros. Records with complete creative control; at 19, his debut album, For You (1978) was released – Prince played all 19 instruments on the record.

Influenced by the likes of Miles Davis, Rick James, and James Brown, Prince desired to form a music dynasty and after the success of his next albums – the platinum-selling Prince (1979), the sexually-charged Dirty Mind (1980), and politically-motivated Controversy (1981) – he negotiated for the ability to form his own label and manage artists of his own. Prince’s trademark sexual/religious rhetoric within pop-and-dance, funk-rock sound gained him a following, but his opening slates for Rick James and The Rolling Stones were both negatively received and facing bankruptcy, the young artist began to reach for mainstream popularity. Cashing on the drug-influenced doomsday mania of the times, 1982’s 1999 easily achieved that mainstream appeal, landing him on MTV, music charts, and radio stations across the world.
