Examples of use of I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man
1. Recorded at the new Paisley Park studio he had built in 1'86 on the outskirts of Minneapolis, Sign was devilishly eclectic, travelling from the doom–saying title track – an unsettling mix of hypnotic electro rhythm, bluesy guitar and fragile, semi–rapped lyric – to the Philly rhapsody of ‘Adore‘ via the frantic power pop of ‘I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man‘. The follow–up, Lovesexy (1'88), felt, however, like a disappointment, and with the dismal critical reception accorded the Graffiti Bridge movie (1''0), Prince for the first time tasted failure.
