Yeah, that's the song that immediately came to mind when I read...BECK? But one song? Even so, I still think Beck was going for a 70s soul singer sound.

Prince was probably the first artist I was aware of that was completely uninhibited with regard to sexual references in his lyrics. That was big for a 15 year-old in 1983. Plus, his radio hits made top 40 radio listenable. But he was doing this a year before Purple Rain came out.
