"Erotic City ("Make Love Not War Erotic City Come Alive")" is a song by American musician Prince, released as the B-side to the 1984 single "Let's Go Crazy" and the 12" version of the 1986 single "Girls & Boys". It was both written and produced by Prince. While delivering his speech prior to the induction of the Funk collective known as Parliament-Funkadelic into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in May 1997, Prince explained that "Erotic City" was recorded directly after seeing Parliament-Funkadelic at the Beverly Theatre in Los Angeles in 1983. It was re-released on CD on The Hits/The B-Sides in 1993. The song can be heard in the Spike Lee film Girl 6 and was included on its soundtrack in 1996. In 2022, Rolling Stone included "Erotic City" in their list of the "200 Greatest Dance Songs of All Time".
