Composition

Dirty Mind was recorded primarily in Prince's home studio throughout 1980, with several of the songs being cut within one night and thus having a sparse, demo-like quality. The opening title track was released as a single, and described as "robotic funk". "When You Were Mine", notably covered by Cyndi Lauper, is "pure new wave pop" about a woman who has left Prince and his realization of his love for her only afterwards. Both "Do It All Night" and "Head" (the latter sexually explicit and detailing a chance meeting with a bride-to-be) are "sultry funk", while "Gotta Broken Heart Again" is the only ballad on the record and is described as "soulful crooning". The song "Sister", only 90 seconds long, is rock-influenced and has incestual tones. "Uptown" and "Partyup" are "relentless dance jams"; "Uptown" was released as a Top 5 Dance and R&B hit single in late-1980 and "Partyup" was performed live on Saturday Night Live in 1981. The two songs have anti-judgment and anti-war messages.

Dirty Mind

by: Ben Lee

Yeah
It's the only way that I want it - Inside
Yeah
Don't you want me to want it - Oh no
Yeah
And other things I consider
You know you'll never forgive me
'Cause a dream is a weapon
And I think about you everyday
So come for the danger, stay for the strange
But I'm never going to give it away
You'll never clean my dirty mind
You'll never clean my dirty mind
All right
Yeah
And I don't need protecting
From the way I'm connecting
Yeah
'Cause it's never as good
IF you do as you should
Yeah
You've gotta let yourself dream it
You've gotta let yourself mean it
'Cause a dream is a weapon, and I think about you everyday
So come for the danger, stay for the strange
But I'm never going to give it away
You'll never clean my dirty mind
You'll never clean my dirty mind
All right
'Cause a dream is a weapon
And I think about you everyday
So come for the danger, stay for the strange
But I'm never going to give it away
You'll never clean my dirty mind
You'll never clean my dirty mind
