Why do people always make a big deal about others losing their accent. If you live in another country for more than twenty years, you are going to lose your accent. I am proud to be a Sheena Easton fan for 30 years. She has class unlike Gerard Butler who is a hyprocrite. Criticizing Sheena for having an American accent, yet look at him. He has only been in the states two years and he now says he is losing his Scottish accent.
@hoopsgyrl Hoopsgyrl, you hit the nail on the head about Gerard Butler! I read an interview he gave, in which he says he threw shoes at Sheena for speaking with an American accent. Then he says he has to do the American accent because he's an actor, so he lapses into American terms like "soccer"instead of football when he's off-guard. I mean, that's just a lame, cowardly excuse!
Its ridiculous there was so much hot air about this song.males are constantly releasing songs with sexual double meaning and no one bats an eyelid,but the moment a female does,theres uproar.While performing this on stage,Sheena had missiles thrown at her;lucky for them it wasnt me on stage cause i would have literally jumped into the crowd and strangled whoever it was! Its ok for a male to express his sexuality but when a female does,shes punished.
@The096757 I don't agree that her voice is limited. She may not have a four-octave range, and she may have not engaged in the vocal histrionics of some of today's divas, but her voice was always very precise, liquid, and rather intense.
Ha! Bobby Columby. The real controversy is why somebody gave Bobby an interviewing position. How does a one time drummer (Blood, Sweat And Tears) and long time record executive get this job?
What losers I can't believe whoever was trying 2 make such an uproar about this song.It's all their wining that makes it a scandal. Just leave it in peoples own mind 2 interpret it their own filthy way.Love this song though.Great song.Bet her "walls" R the sweetest too.
What a load of rubbish, how did any of us have children, I don't remember the stork arriving at my house, yes, shock, horror, I think it may have been sex
I mess those sexy days of the early 80s coming out of the sexual revolution us gen xers had just missed but few of us had a brief taste ... AIDs brought the party to an end in the middle 80s.
@bigbrownlatino Songs back then were a hell of alot better then they are now. You had to use your imagination then but now there's nothing creative everything's just smacked right hard in your face. Artists today don't have the same creative genius.
@j7609 Geez, I did not know that. I just found out what a pearl necklace really meant after years of listening to that ZZ Top tune and not really getting it. Hey, I don't talk like that and none of my friends do either! Sheila Easton was woo hot!
Provacative? if i even spelled that right, Man people are REALY full of themselves! This is horse shit, If you dont like it, Dont listen to it, AND especially dont blame It for your kids problems.
enuendo? LOL I was 14 when this came out and you couldnt get any closer to ear porn than this at the time, they knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they made this and i'll never forget the impact it had on my young teenage life LOL
I think Prince was taking the piss out of her "blood races to your private parts" then she raises eyebrows. Anyone else reckon she was a Muppet ? A good looking one, but a complete Muppet.
@daveheel i kno thats right, she only performs in small places now because when she adopted her kids she didnt want to be too busy not to be able to raise em...im sure if she teamed up with someone like will.i.am compared to when she teamed with babyface for lover in me, shed make a huge comeback.
@MrLeagueOJustice then why the hell did you bother checking it out. I know you like Sheena and her hits or you wouldn't of taken the time to notice. Come on, it's okay to admit you love the glamorous Sheena E. Don't be shy. You need a middle aged, smart sophisticated woman, not a snot nosed Miley!
oh well...such is life...to some, boring, to some, exciting, to some challenge, to some..blinded by some elements that cannot surpass...she's coming to vegas again, maybe i will get to watch her.i like her..she's ok.
what's the big deal here? this is pretty tame compared to what is played on the radio today. this was back in '85, a period where ultra-conservatism was at its peak, the whole decade was pretty much like a repeat of the 50s American pop culture. the power-driven economy had folks oblivious to everythingbut money. Just think, prior to this song, there were "She Bop", "Turning Japanese", "Come on Eileen", So WTF? we were too stupid to realize what these lyrics meant, yet we attack only on Sheena
Nothing do to with the 80's. American's were light hearted about these things back then, used to have a sense of humor. Today everything is taken literally, the slightest provocation of sex and you've got a carnage of left wing politicians, feminazis, and dick nosed PTA moms trying to get it banned.
As for the 80's being like the 50's, I'd say it's a two sided story, the 80's were socially liberal, politically conservative, the 50's was the whole package. Socially the 2000's are like the 50's.

We'll at least she admits she's a trend whore.
Just compare her image from 1980 to 1990 and you'll see what I mean. Just short of ten years she went from a jumpsuit wearing tea drinking bitch to a 3rd rate hooker that fucks blacks.
That was in vogue in 1991 by the way.
I guess after talentless hack Kurt Cobain took a steel axe to good music and grunge hit she just couldn't blend in anymore.
Always doing what's popular, not much depth here, but like I said at least she's honest.

No blame the artists for signing record deals in the first place, if they want to sell out than they have to pay the price, suck cock and jump to the wishes of the corporate assholes who own their cheap whore asses.
She could have kept doing soft hits, Belinda Carlisle, Laura Branigan, even Susanna Hoffs stuck to it and their careers lasted well into the early 90's.
This bitch was just to much of a fucking trend whore to realize what she was doing. Big mistake sugartits, better luck next time.
im sure she knew what was going on, the label gets what they want. people want to be successful so they follow along. a record contract is a very hard to turn down, put yourself in her position, you would have done the same. its not that i support trendy bandwagon-hopping or anything im just not going to get mad about it. (im not too big of a sheena easton fan anyways)

She did and that's what makes it even worse you see Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson are too stupid to realize that they're being used like circus animals.
And me, no I have too much self respect for that, I'm a musician, not famous by any stretch of the imagination but if one of those suit wearing uptight motherfuckers offered me something like that, I can assure you it'd be my way or their not gettin' shit.
I loved the song and it wasn't more suggestive than Rod Stewart's Tonights The Night" which I believe MTV played constantly -or even if it was more suggestive, so what!
So what if it was a sexual reference, it's a beautiful and natural part of all of our (women's) bodies! I'd rather listen to this song then watch some horribly violent movie!!
this is her BEST song she ever recorded (sugar walls). she's a damn hot woman and has a great voice. why not use her natural talents to her greatest advantage?if she would have posed nude in playboy i would have bought it...and i'm gay. i do not understand why women who exercise their intelligence and sexuality are such a threat? sheeesh!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Faggot. "Sugar Walls" isn't her best song dickwipe, not by a longshot. Her ballads from the early 80's are the best and "Do It For Love" is a close second. "Sugar Walls" is overrated, one because she looked hot and two because you said it yourself , it was penned by Prince.
Actually this song went to #3 on the R&B charts and the album it was on, A Private Heaven was her biggest selling album in the US, EVER, so no it wasn't a bad career choice, it was actually a very good song and album!
To this point she had done very classy work, even settling for so-so sales sometime in the interest of quality art. After "Sugar Walls," which I thought was a bad bad career choice, it all began to fall apart.
You're right there. Prince ruined her with his sexually explicit song lyrics. I even thought that it was a pretty disgusting song to be played on the radio at that time. "Blood rushes to your private spots?" What in the hell was Prince thinking? I don't even know how Sheena could've agreed to sing that. Can you imagine if they had made a video that depicted everything she had sung in the song? It would be considered a porno.
Sheena had the misfortune of both being a star in show business and being a highly intelligent and educated young person. She had the feeling both her singles and albums were never fully realized; that the album covers and titles promised so much and seldom delivered anything completely finished or high level. So when Prince become interested she took the opportunity, which was the right thing to do. He delivered the goods but the public wasn't buying. An unfortunate turn of events.
I was always unhappy that while Sheena was making a fortune for her American label, it gave her little respect, always removing tracks from albums for the American version, at times removing the BEST tracks. The label also never ventured forth on her behalf. The B sides of her singles sounded totally different from everything else and many of them were not released domestically; an album of them was a natural idea but hopeless with her unimaginative record company.
You're such a dumbass....the song is suggestive, but doesn't depict anything, doesn't use profanity and the video had no nudity it it...it's a very good song that actually did well in spite of people's heads being up their asses. This is tame compared to today's music and skanky non-singing sluts like Britney, Rhianna, and Heidi Montag!
she rose back to the top of the charts with "Lover In Me" in 1988 in America. The single got to nbr 2 on Billboard 100, another single "101" also penned by Prince got to nbr 2 on the Dance Charts.
but my god...mmmm she could talk that way to me all night long, i wouldnt be complaning i always thought she was soooo yummy when i was growing up...i like how the song made you use your own imagination..today they just put it all out there..
Well that's how they talk in scotland and lets say Paul McCartney is a liverpudlian because he's from liverpool & so on none of us can help how we sound infact some sound different that you can't even hear there acsent when they sing which is why people are quite surprised when they do talk :(
@miamivicepastels83 exactly! Why can't they lay more of a stink as to what people do today? Now it's all deemed as "sexy and normal" Yes people like Prince, Rick James, and the like brought us raunchy lyrics, but it was okay as subliminal. It was more classy. People nowdays(the rappers) spell it all out...and give us a visual aids!
I HIGHLY doubt that. All throghout the eighties you had to take a number to get a hold of Prince and Sheena's looks probably got her through the door. He just had that midas touch back then. Her music probably suffered at the end because with everthing in life it simply ran it's course. My .02 cents!
I agree about Prince, he had that Midas touch. He was also talented and creative, just not to my personal taste.Sheena sounded like a female version of Prince to me when they got together.
It's only my opinion. Most people probably liked of Sheena E for that kind of music.
It was originally titled "piss flaps", It was felt however that this presented limited innuendo opportunities so, Sugar Walls was used as an alternative. Of course Sugar Walls is not cockney rhyming slang and is not a reference to Princes nadgers!
How silly, Sheena gets drama for her song, little did anyone know less than 20 years later, songs that are actually worth Banning are produced yet they are "okay".
My parents got on this band wagon and again when 2 live crew got banned. The funny thing they will never admit that it was the media that got them stirred up (and my brother and I still lisened to the music any way)
The song had Prince written all over it from the get go, lol

I loved the song and it wasn't more suggestive than Rod Stewart's Tonights The Night" which I believe MTV played constantly -or even if it was more suggestive, so what!

So what if it was a sexual reference, it's a beautiful and natural part of all of our (women's) bodies! I'd rather listen to this song then watch some horribly violent movie!!

this is her BEST song she ever recorded (sugar walls). she's a damn hot woman and has a great voice. why not use her natural talents to her greatest advantage?if she would have posed nude in playboy i would have bought it...and i'm gay. i do not understand why women who exercise their intelligence and sexuality are such a threat? sheeesh!

Faggot. "Sugar Walls" isn't her best song dickwipe, not by a longshot. Her ballads from the early 80's are the best and "Do It For Love" is a close second. "Sugar Walls" is overrated, one because she looked hot and two because you said it yourself , it was penned by Prince.

Actually this song went to #3 on the R&B charts and the album it was on, A Private Heaven was her biggest selling album in the US, EVER, so no it wasn't a bad career choice, it was actually a very good song and album!

To this point she had done very classy work, even settling for so-so sales sometime in the interest of quality art. After "Sugar Walls," which I thought was a bad bad career choice, it all began to fall apart.

You're right there. Prince ruined her with his sexually explicit song lyrics. I even thought that it was a pretty disgusting song to be played on the radio at that time. "Blood rushes to your private spots?" What in the hell was Prince thinking? I don't even know how Sheena could've agreed to sing that. Can you imagine if they had made a video that depicted everything she had sung in the song? It would be considered a porno.

Sheena had the misfortune of both being a star in show business and being a highly intelligent and educated young person. She had the feeling both her singles and albums were never fully realized; that the album covers and titles promised so much and seldom delivered anything completely finished or high level. So when Prince become interested she took the opportunity, which was the right thing to do. He delivered the goods but the public wasn't buying. An unfortunate turn of events.

That's interesting. I don't know. I just feel that everything Prince touched turned out to be just like him...an oversexed pervert.
thetruth415 2 years ago
I was always unhappy that while Sheena was making a fortune for her American label, it gave her little respect, always removing tracks from albums for the American version, at times removing the BEST tracks. The label also never ventured forth on her behalf. The B sides of her singles sounded totally different from everything else and many of them were not released domestically; an album of them was a natural idea but hopeless with her unimaginative record company.

I agree, Sugar Walls was a great single, it's the head's up their asses Repugs of the 80's who had it wrong, not Prince OR Sheena!

She might've redeemed herself with that cartoon she did in '96.

You're such a dumbass....the song is suggestive, but doesn't depict anything, doesn't use profanity and the video had no nudity it it...it's a very good song that actually did well in spite of people's heads being up their asses. This is tame compared to today's music and skanky non-singing sluts like Britney, Rhianna, and Heidi Montag!
twilliger123 2 years ago 2
she rose back to the top of the charts with "Lover In Me" in 1988 in America. The single got to nbr 2 on Billboard 100, another single "101" also penned by Prince got to nbr 2 on the Dance Charts.

@miamivicepastels83 exactly! Why can't they lay more of a stink as to what people do today? Now it's all deemed as "sexy and normal" Yes people like Prince, Rick James, and the like brought us raunchy lyrics, but it was okay as subliminal. It was more classy. People nowdays(the rappers) spell it all out...and give us a visual aids!

ThePipersNicks 3 years ago
I HIGHLY doubt that. All throghout the eighties you had to take a number to get a hold of Prince and Sheena's looks probably got her through the door. He just had that midas touch back then. Her music probably suffered at the end because with everthing in life it simply ran it's course. My .02 cents!
horus1971 3 years ago
I agree about Prince, he had that Midas touch. He was also talented and creative, just not to my personal taste.Sheena sounded like a female version of Prince to me when they got together.
It's only my opinion. Most people probably liked of Sheena E for that kind of music.
I liked the "morning train" Sheena :)

It was originally titled "piss flaps", It was felt however that this presented limited innuendo opportunities so, Sugar Walls was used as an alternative. Of course Sugar Walls is not cockney rhyming slang and is not a reference to Princes nadgers!

Hirsute63 3 years ago
Exactly were is the "innuendo"? Innuendo suggests a double meaning, but the term "sugar walls" could not possibly mean ANYTHING other than vagina!
Personally, I imagine a vagina full of sugar would feel unpleasantly bitty and crunchy...
