Though Prince's next album "Purple Rain" would contribute to the parental advisory stickers being added to albums, this one is also pretty full-on (in typical Prince fashion). It includes the ad-libbed line "I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth".
Barry White, Isaac Hayes and Marvin Gaye may have been masters of the bedroom groove that gave you the aural equivalent of being laid down on satin sheets, but I daresay Prince was king of the 'fuck-groove'. The pull your panties down in the backseat and get buck-wild vibe. "Lady Cab Driver" and "International lover" are pretty overt with this with Prince's ecstatic squeals and hard funk grooves, but the whole album has touches of the erotic.
Combining the warm grooves of Funkadelic with the machine-like rhythms of Kraftwerk, Prince was the future.
