In 1991, Praga Khan met Oliver Adams and along with Jade 4U, formed the production team MNO (comprised of the first letter of their forenames). Shortly after, they produced a series of popular British rave hits. The most popular, "Injected With A Poison", which hit the #16 spot in the UK and #1 in Japan.
While taking a break from his several side projects, Praga Khan released his first studio album, "Conquers Your Love", in 1996. Several albums followed a little while later; Pragamatic in 1998, Twenty First Century Skin in 1999, Mutant Funk in 2000, Mixed Up in 2001 and Freakazoidz in 2002.
A lucky break also happened when Paul Verhoeven, during the shooting of Basic Instinct, walked into "The Limelight" disco in New York, looking for a song for his movie. When the track "Rave the Rhythm" was played, he stepped up to the DJ and asked who that was. The song was included on the soundtrack, after which a whole bunch of other movies followed including Sliver, Virtuosity, Strange Days, Bad Lieutenant and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
Praga Khan also worked on the soundtrack for the first Mortal Kombat game and the first movie's popular "Techno Syndrome" (the de facto Mortal Kombat theme) under the moniker "The Immortals"; thus also responsible for the camp classic line from the Sub-Zero theme, "Chinese ninja warrior, with your heart so cold..."
Contribution to the theatrical scene was made with his musical collaborations in The Next Dimension (2005) and Code Red.
Naked
Praga Khan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me feel alive
As you touch and tickle my skin
I feel the fire within
Pleasure and pain, it's all the same
For one who knows how to play the game
I want to feel you, I want to touch you
I want to feel you, I want to touch you
Nude, nude, get naked
Take off your clothes
Nude, nude, get naked
Take off your clothes
Flesh on flesh, heated desires
This fire you pour on me drives me wild
Nude, nude, get naked
Take off your clothes
The rhythm of passion, our bodies entwined
You shiver with delight
Eyes transfixed, two on two
Hungry for more of you
Pleasure and pain, it's all the same
For one who knows how to play the game
I want to feel you, I want to touch you
I want to feel you, I want to touch you
Nude, nude, get naked
Take off your clothes
Nude, nude, get naked
Take off your clothes
Flesh on flesh, heated desires
This fire you pour on me drives me wild
Nude, nude, get naked
Take off your clothes
I blindfold you and take your sight
Our passion builds, tiny little bites
Tasting, teasing, corrupted perfumes
Magnetic lust, I hunger for you
Nude, nude, get naked
Take off your clothes
Nude, nude, get naked
Take off your clothes
Flesh on flesh, heated desires
This fire you pour on me drives me wild
Nude, nude, get naked
Take off your clothes
The lyrics of Praga Khan's song Naked express the intensity and passion of a sexual encounter between two individuals. The first two lines, "Connecting souls, sweet desires, you make me feel alive," set the tone for what is to follow. The song describes the physical and intense connection between two people, as they touch, tickle, and feel each other's skin. The lyrics express the desire to strip away any pretense or coverings in order to be free and openly explore the other person's body.
Throughout the song, the lyrics celebrate and revel in the intensity of pleasure and pain, and how it is all the same for the one who knows how to play the game. The chorus repeats the word "Nude" several times, setting the mood for a sensual, raw, and vulnerable connection between two individuals. The second verse of the song expresses how the pleasure and hunger continues to grow, as they become more engrossed in each other. The lines "I blindfold you and take your sight, Our passion builds, tiny little bites, Tasting, teasing, corrupted perfumes, Magnetic lust, I hunger for you" are particularly evocative and intensify the sexual tension building up in the song.
