Technically and officially, Nichole Perkins named her essay collection Sometimes I Trip on How Happy We Could Be after Prince’s lyrics in If I Was Your Girlfriend. Perkins is a huge Prince fan, with lyrics tattooed on her ankle and one of the essays entitled Prince’s Girl. In it, she writes about discovering the artist and his songs at a young age. Though she was only eleven or twelve, she had read plenty of romance novels and was able to decipher sexual euphemisms.
Even though I know the book is named after the Prince lyrics, I want to write about a song that samples these lyrics, but more specifically, the artists.
