R.i.P Vanity. She was one of my very first Celebrity crushes..... And Yes you can definitely Tell Prince Wrote & Produced This entire Song with his little nasty Ass😂😂😂😂
@@lusciousmayweather8385 One of my first celebrity crushes, too. If you haven't already seen it, go watch her in "The Last Dragon". It's a campy martial arts movie from the 80's. The 80's kid in you will love it, but I crushed on her harder than ever when The Last Dragon came out.
There's a longer version of this song with the spoken word part that goes: "Mmm. Is that it? Wake me when you're done. I guess you'll be the only one having fun."
Vanity was one of Prince’s protégés. Prince at first wanted her to use another name; she refused. As suggestive as this song is, she released one that’s even more explicit. She eventually left the music industry and became very religious.
I was actually about 11 yrs old when this came out, so most of the lyrics at that time went right over my head. While my sister was 14 or 15 and she idolized Vanity and I'm pretty sure she knew what every lyric meant(and then some). If you ever listen to any Prince tracks from this period of time, the lyrics are truly just another day at the office. By the time I graduated HS in 89, Gangsta rap was a thing, and by comparison the lyrics here are still rather tame. All that being said, Denise Mathews(Vanity) became a born again Christian for the 2nd half of her life and renounced her "Vanity" persona, and toured the country speaking her truth. Sadly, she did a lot of damage to her body in her younger years, and past at the rather young age of 57. But I admired her for what she did here, her acting, as well as what she did in the back half of her life, I'm happy for her that she found salvation before it was all said and done. RIP Denise, as the world was a better place with you having been in it.
This song was so crazy hot when it came out - sadly Vanity passed away , and changed her life in later years , but there was a time when she was everyone’s Nasty Girl - great reaction 👍🏻
Best thing about Prince is that he can still make people jaws dropped to the floor with a 40 year old song. BTW that's Prince on the chorus and he is playing every single instrument. Best dance track of the 80s.
You got a glimpse into Prince's imagination. The song. The music. The costumes. I have to say, Vanity, Benda and Susan had a place of honor on my Jr. High school locker door. 😎❤✌🏽👍🏽
When this video was released I hated the song but thought that Vanity, Denise Matthews, was as beautiful of a female as I had ever seen. I didn't care at all if the song stunk or was good. I just liked looking at Vanity. At 69 years old watching this video I still feel the same way.
Girl where you been. Boy you better not listen to Lil Kim album Hard Core or any of the 90's rap girls, LMAO or even some of Madonna's 80's songs. Oh this song was written by Prince who was dating Vanity at the time. Yes it was quite the extravagant song in 1982, but it pales in comparison to what you say is vulgar and came later in the 80's and rap music lyrics of the 90's and up till now. Please don't listen to the Lil Kim Album HARD Core, you may just faint 😂
This is actually the edited version of the song. There is alot more in the original version. Yes, Prince who is literally the GOAT wrote this for Vanity the lead singer who he was dating. He also dated Susan Moonsie the woman in the pink dress. This was tame for Prince
Prince's always exotic sexy humor and reinvention of Funk for the 80s was groundbreaking. I saw this early tour with them, The Time & Prince, but the Queen Diva of erotic Funk was Betty Davis (RIP) in the 70s, who was too nasty for her time & still remains underappreciated yet she helped open the door for Prince's acceptance. LOVE this simple but hott video. Vanity was too gorgeous!!! Betty Davis' NASTY GAL ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vf5NUBIcEyU.htmlsi=VzxjeHNwokHaRG6k
Oh snap, this was a banger from back in the day(yes, pun intended). LOL But seriously, if you enjoy "Nasty Girl", give "Drive Me Wild" a listen, as both songs are cut from the same cloth, as Prince had a hand in that one as well(and yes, another pun intended). LOL
"Drive Me Wild" was Susan's showcase song. That one had my 13 year old mind racing, and I loved the video back in the day.. I wonder if I changed the channel if I heard my mom or dad approaching? I probably did 😂🙃👏🏽
This has been one of my favorite songs since I was a kid thanks to Beverly Hills Cop …. Especially when they switched the beat 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤯 … the song came out in 1982 and I was born 1995 but somehow I still got this song on repeat in 2024 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Lol not knowing Prince wrote this, if you had maybe you wouldnt have been surprised. He wrote equally and far more vulgar songs, Apolonia 6 - Sex Shooter, Erotic City, Sheena Easton's - Sugar Walls and many others.
The rumor at the time was that the number 6 referred to 3 pairs of breasts. Vanity (R.I.P.) later disavowed not only this song, but her singing career. She became a Christian evangelist. The song seemed to me (age 31 at the time) as being kind of, "girls can revel in sheer lust, too."
I always loved Vanity.. but when I was a teenager it was Susan I had a crush on😂😂😂😂😂.. and a whole lot of others . Nicknamed the beautiful one had hit songs written about her doves cry, private Joy, rumors... About 10 others.....
Vanity left this group before the movie Purple Rain. She was then replaced by Patty Katero, who was renamed Apollonia, and she became the face of the trio. If you ever start a movie reaction channel, PURPLE RAIN should be on your list. Or you could just the video for SEX SHOOTER and get pretty much the same vibe. Speaking of girl groups produced by male superstars of the 8o's, let's not forget Rick James and his project called Mary Jane Girls. Named for his love of wacky tabacky. But the track is better than this. Keep going and enjoy, Maddie
Aren't the backup singers also the same singers with APPALONIA in the movie Purple Rain? And remember her and Bruce Leroy going against SHO-NUFF, the shogun of Harlem?
The original group was called the Hookers, before vanity came along. Vanity had an unreleased called "vibrator" w prince doing a funny voiceover which made it comical. Also vanity 6's "Sex shooter" is a good one too, better than the Apollonia 6 version
Nasty Girl Is imprinted on everyone’s brain from this time period! 😮 Prince was too much for only one brain and one body, he had so many branches. After a while I guess you just run out of topics and lyrics and rhythms 🎵gotta push it further.mission accomplished.
Great Reaction Video Maddy.Denise (Vanity) was a real Sweetheart but she ruined her health with Drugs and Alcohol in those Days.She found God later in Life and changed her Life completely.We talked every once in a while in the Years before she died.What a beauty she was huh.Funny thing is that i really thought that you look a bit like her when i first watched one of your reaction Videos.Lol...😂❤✌
She was a sweetheart, she was kind, very smart, I was for some reason surprised at how smart she was being she was so beautiful and used to be a singer and what not, she was also funny & quirky. Very down to earth. She was a good person & still really missed.
People are always shocked when women go there.Prince made nasty songs all the time they called him a musical genius.Madonna made Erotica they wanted to burn her at the stake.
The question shouldn't be whether it was "Shocking" or not... Was it HONEST? Today's "Modern Woman" Walks, Talks and Acts (in Public) like she's never seen a P3^1$ before and can easily be "Offended" by the slightest thing. But behind closed doors, The "Nasty Girl" gets unleashed... at least until the clothes back on. At Least that's how I see it.
By the time this came out in the 80's, the shock value had already been absorbed by other acts. This one really didn't seem to raise the bar. I had forgotten about the makeup in those days (you actually saw that in clubs). But, in those days, everyone dressed up to party. As I recall, she became an evangelist preacher in the years before she passed.
You should watch the great Prince movie Purple Rain and in the movie when he sings Darling Nicki, please, please, please put your hands over your ears 😎
I don’t think she fits under the category of ‘rumored.’ She always said in interviews they were together for 2 years and he referenced their relationship on several occasions also.
Vanity was in the movie Action Jackson with Carl Weathers and Sharon Stone. Well worth a watch. Vanity was a little Nasty in this, but this was the '80s.
When Gen X and early Gen Y'ers hear *_"Nasty Girl"_* by Vanity 6, the majority instantly think of the *_Beverly Hills Cop's_* strip club scene and or Prince. The same goes for *_"I Want Your Sex"_* by George Michael, the majority instantly think of the *_Beverly Hills Cop 2's_* strip club scene and or Gerald Ford. Beverly Hills Cop 3 had no strip club scene, sad.
Yes, it was a little much for the 80’s but Prince wanted to push boundaries. Denise, was a girl who came from Canada, had a German mother and African-American father who was very abusive to her. She went on to do pageants, modeled and a few films while she was still quite young, early 20’s before meeting Prince. She fell very deeply in love with him and never stopped loving him even when she turned her life over to Christ. When he heard she’d died he talked about her in his Melbourne concert, almost crying as he sang to her, changing words in his songs to substitute her name in them. They were each other’s yin to their yang. They have a Rolling Stones cover where they look incestous twins. When I was a kid nobody, I mean nobody was Mixed Race and there really wasn’t any representation on TV so when I saw her I knew exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up and that was a bad bi. tch. 😂😂💋
Well had to Google, this song came out 4 years before NASTY BOYS by Janet Jackson! Also way, way WAY before you were born. If you haven't heard it it's a MUST x 1000 and infinity ♾️ Night and Day difference on TALENT!! GREAT JOB Maddy! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
It aged well, all you have to do is listen to modern Rap songs since the 90's, it makes this song seem tame, or even Lil Kim of the 90's and her album Hardcore, OMG!
LOL! You got that right, Maddy. Vulgar. This is one of those silly ass songs that somehow made it big though there's a vast lack of anything redeeming to it. Prince wrote it. It never changes musically. The riff stays the same the entire time. There's a very short interlude that is still based on the same riff. Vacuum-brain music. Nothing to it.
