On episode 174 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, I ruminate, excogitate, marinate and demonstrate my understanding of the lyrics to the Purple Rain era vault track, “Wonderful Ass.”

“I can always find time 4 your ass.”
This bouncy, not-so-subtle vault track was one of the first I heard when I discovered the world of Prince boots on YouTube years ago. The sound was reminiscent of the Purple Rain era, which helped me identify with the track since this was my favorite timeline of Prince’s music. The co-lead vocals by Wendy and Lisa also made me appreciate and comprehend the volume of material I had yet to hear. It’s a fun, not-so-serious song that could’ve been a dope B-side.
The goal of each episode of Press Rewind is to:
- Take a track by track look at the lyrical content of Prince’s discography
- Discuss my own interpretation of each song’s lyrics along with any guest I may have
- If submitted, discuss listener’s interpretations of each song’s lyrics
Thank you for joining me on this journey through Prince’s catalog!
