Question
I heard a song the other day and the only part of the lyrics I can remember were something about "the way Nikki grinds" and that was the last part of the chorus.  It's a hard rock song maybe from the mid or late 80's early 90's I believe (at least that's what it sounded like) and I haven't been able to find anyone who knows what I'm talking about.  Maybe you can help?  Thanks for your time.

Answer
The song is the very controversial "Darling Nikki" off the album "Purple Rain" sung by Prince - (later covered by the Foo Fighters).  Prince changed his name after this album to some sort of symbol and said that he was to be called "The Artist Formally Known As Prince".

"Darling Nikki" was the song that upset Tipper Gore so much that she founded the Parents Music Resource Center that resulted in record stickers, Frank Zappa testifying in Congress and all sorts of entertaining stuff like that.
