So true. Lol. We had no idea what we were singing. Like back then singing like a virgin when I had no idea what a virgin was at 11. I was so naive and innocent back then. But the songs were catchy and the ladies of the 80s were simply sexy, alluring, beautiful, and had style and strength.
Imagine my surprise after actually realizing that this song I was singing loud as hell in the shower was actually an ode to how great Sheena's cooch is! Yeah needless to say it explained my childhood crush on this woman I guess. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How about the duet with Kenny Rogers in between Morning Train and Sugar Walls / The Lover In Me ? Almost like the three Stages of Sheena Easton. I will take all three.
@@mikek4288 Yeah, it has that from the low to the high peak and her voice is perfect as the peak rises in the tone of the music... she can feel it too she expresses it in her face.
Prince wrote a LOT of songs for a lot of artists. And as you guessed correctly, he actually did write this song. He used the name " Alexander Nevermind" as his pen name. But yes, this is a Prince song from the "sexy mutha" himself. Haha
@@rudolph5483 Yeah just the sound and pace of how she sang this song conjuring up those feminine wiles from the bottom to the top in how the pace goes down and up because she tells men not to fall in love because of her sugar-walls... teaching men just to get women not to fall in love because you'll get taken advantage of... great music and I grew up on this stuff... didn't realize what a lot of music meant until I got older.
I remember when i was kid and the moment i figured out what sugar walls meant. My godmother seeing i had figued this out looked at me laughing and said 'she aint talking about no gingerbread house baby'
So? My dad walked into the room and took one look at the music video on the television, and shut-off the set--calling it "drug music"...! It was a Hall & Oates video, btw.
I didn't know either! One of my friends told me what sugar walls was about. I didn't believe him. Went back and listened over and over. My mouth dropped. I was a kid.
I was singing with this song on the radio with my mother in my truck. She looked at me and asked if I knew what I was singing to? I said not really. She told me and I wanted to die right then and there.
@@willwrite3675 That's horrific! Hare dare these singers be so anatomically inaccurate. My numerous taste tests of vaginas have never detected any sugary flavors or aftertaste.
It's so ridiculously hot that it kind of transcends sexual orientation for like three or four minutes. I love that about it, and I love your comment. As a straight male growing up hearing it.....it turned me on so much, I cannot tell you....
Omg, I immediately started laughing when I read ur comment. Then I went back and watched the entire video over & just focused on her eyes, and now I can't stop cracking up!!😂💀 I'm dead... can't breathe 🤣👁👁
Yes I noticed that, I think at the time she was trying to look intense and overdid it. I used to love singing this song loudly- and then one year I realized she was referring to her vagina and I was singing it at the top of my lungs 😂😂😂😂
Boy you can really hear Prince's influence in this song. He gave us so many blessings, including investing in and discovering so many wonderful women artists.
I still find it somewhat hilarious that I was singing this out loud with my cassette tape and boom box was extremely loud and it happened to be at the time when our priest from church came to our Sunday dinner and he told me why am I not surprised that you would be the one in the family to know for all if Prince songs and shook his head.. And yet I was the one with the dumbfounded look in my face in the end BAHAHAHA 😁
This came out when I was in high school. We had student DJ's at lunch and they played this for a month before the teachers and Principals figured it out. They just thought we really loved the song which we did.
Sheena Easton was "new and improved" with this song and the album it came from - A PRIVATE HEAVEN. It was the 2nd single release from it. The first being the Billboard Top 10 "Strut". Her association with Prince during the mid-to-late 80s helped to invigorate Sheena's image and sound in the pop music world. Sheena always had a roller-coaster ride on the Billboard charts - big ups followed by big downs, then big ups again. She never got boring to me during her US chart years (1981-1991).
Lol! I was a kid when this came out. I'm 44 now. Approximately 2 yrs ago I figured out what sugar walls meant. Call me slow. Lol! Prince was among the 1st freakiest Artists of my time. Lmao!!
@Jerrol Hale Imagine if they made an AO (adults only) parody of the movie CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY and included this song therein, Lm@o!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
IMHO Sheena never got the appreciation for her amazing vocals because her flawless looks and Sex Kitten persona overshadowed. A truly remarkable performer and still a beauty.
Always loved this song - so 80s and so Prince!! Love RUclips for what it brings us!! Lived in Charlotte, NC for a short while during the time this was a hit. Many memories!!
I was six. This song would never fly today. Not on pop radio. God bless the time I grew up in. Wouldn’t trade it. And Prince writing and producing. We lost a true genius. And Sheena pulled it off flawlessly. And gorgeous to boot.
these times were truely unique and really liked each acts act if you can call it that as far as how they performed with movement and gestures and all that making it uniquely their own Nd not copy catting
Love the instrumentation on this (all Prince too) Instantly recognizable LM-1 sounds, Oberheim synths and that guitar. Classic Prince (and great vocals by Sheena Easton)!
I'm 45 and unitl today, I didn't know wth she was signing about. I never really listened to the words carefully. Now that I know Prince wrote it, not surprised at all about the sexual innuendo! Love him and Sheena. Rip Prince!
Angie Maggard Right I know what ur talking about his song little red corvette I had a picture of a red corvette like u said when ur young and don't know 😄
This song has been on rotation in my head for a month!! RIP to the Purple One. He most _definitely_ did this thing on this one!!! Sheena's not only pretty but a goddamn sick vocalist!!
Unlike most of Prince's proteges (which Sheena was not, of course; already a star in her own right when their worlds joined), Sheena had talent & a voice. She was sure to elevate any purple contributions above & beyond what the Prince girls could have done. Look for "101" on Sheena's The Lover In Me (1988) for another Prince-composed, performed & produced gem that makes even this pale in comparison. "101" is definitely one of the better songs Prince ever gave away.
Sheena's a damn good vocalist, very underated, what she did with her facial and body movements that oozed sexuality, most women would have to take off their clothes to get the same responses! But I always wondered did Sheena win this song by default, I'm curious if Vanity was the original inspiration. It's funny, Sheena's transformation from morning train to sugar walls is kinda like Olivia's Sandy in Grease!
I remember that as a young boy just wasn’t clever enough to figure what she was singing about; just really couldn’t with songs; just loved the way they sounded. But one day my female friend told me what it was about…😮😂

I had forgotten just how many awesome songs Sheena used to sing. Even the one radio station that broadcasts all 80s music around me almost never plays anything from her.
This came out in ‘85 when I was 12. Made me lightheaded and blush! I knew exactly what she meant by Sugar Walls. I mean cmon the name of the album was called A Private Heaven😉
I was the same age and I remember that some radio stations were refusing to play it because of the racy lyrics lol (I'm from the NYC area). It was quite pornographic in a way. I absolutely adored it and heard Prince's sexy attitude all over it.
This is one of those songs that you come to realize as an adult that you had no business singing as a child. This was my JAM😂
So true. Lol. We had no idea what we were singing. Like back then singing like a virgin when I had no idea what a virgin was at 11. I was so naive and innocent back then. But the songs were catchy and the ladies of the 80s were simply sexy, alluring, beautiful, and had style and strength.
I thought it was about the witches house in Hansel and Gretel.
Come inside lol I was 15 and didn't catch on to it for a good minute!!!
it's such a cute song about a gingerbread house what do you mean 🥵
Imagine my surprise after actually realizing that this song I was singing loud as hell in the shower was actually an ode to how great Sheena's cooch is!
Yeah needless to say it explained my childhood crush on this woman I guess.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm 39 and I'm still not sure if I'm old enough to listen to this song yet
Okay, that made laugh!

Better than Madonna
Ah, the innocence of youth, singing songs such as this and Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood as an 8 year old not knowing what the song really meant.
This Drips "Prince" all Over It!! He knew how to write songs for women like no one else! 🙊🙉🙈
I love Sheena’s voice and Prince’s songwriting skills. It’s way 80s. Few people can pull off yellow clothes.
ALL YELLOW at that...earrings and all😮🤣
What about Gwen Stefani? Sheila E, Kyle Minouge and also Danni as well

You can hear him singing background on certain parts.
It just occurs to me that the most famous covers of his songs were done by women.
Great song. It's Tipper Gore's favorite track...
Looking at her, I can see why Al Gore is nuts
Prince wrote "Sugar Walls" for Sheena Easton under the pen name "Alexander Nevermind." The song hit No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984.
#9 in February 1985. Not '84.

Yeah. Morning Train/For Your Eyes Only/You Should Have Been With Me/ were the prelude leading up to Strut and then this Ear & Eye Candy 😍🔥

She's so awsome, looks just as gorgeous today!! Sounds great too! Timeless sheena!! Love kenny!! ❤️ 😊
This has prince written all over this song and she is perfect for this song🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
My first love
My kids mom😁
Prince was a bad man. Miss that dude...
This came out in ‘85 when I was 12.
Made me lightheaded and blush!
I knew exactly what she meant by Sugar Walls. I mean cmon the name of the album was called A Private Heaven😉
I was the same age and I remember that some radio stations were refusing to play it because of the racy lyrics lol (I'm from the NYC area). It was quite pornographic in a way. I absolutely adored it and heard Prince's sexy attitude all over it.
We're the same age and I swear it took me a Lil bit longer to figure out what she was saying🤣🤣🤣
Rachel brought me here ☺️💖
This song lmfaooo! Prince was something else.
