Does Prince mention your town in a song? Im from Detroit and he mentions Detroit in at least 2 songs that I know of, one from Lovesexyand one from Sign O The Times.

What color is your money today? {{this is sung in a round}} Get your money straight Everybody dance on and... It's Gonna B A Beautiful Night: Everybody get way down, Tonight we're gonna ball Tonight we're gonna get the bomb, y'all I'm talkin' 'bout the Detroit crawl Everybody in the west Everybody in the east [Every man I'll injure] With my chicken grease Get with it [Edited 1/12/05 10:36am] | |

He mentioned the 76ers basketball team in "If I was the man in UR Life."
"He liked the Sixers, but the Lakers were on when he came." | |

#1-- There's about 6 billion people in the world that don't know my town exists.
#2-- Once they figure out it does exist, they'd have trouble pronouncing the name. So no, Prince has never mention my town in a song. I'm firmly planted in denial | |

Technically it is not a town, just an area but:
"We’re all alone in a villa on the rivera That’s in france on the south side In case u cared..." | |

I live near Minneapolis now, so...!  
But most of my life I lived in Fargo, ND and Fargo only ever gets mentioned as the butt of jokes so I doubt Prince would mention it unless he wanted to get a laugh. | |

"Stadium here there, we just got back from Glasgow"
(The Good Life Big City Remix) Close enough to my place. | |

In Supercute, he mentions East LA and on the Aftershow CD "It Ain't Over", he says LA a couple of time...I know cuz I was there at the House of Blues I don't live in LA but a suburb. I don't think He'll ever mention West Covina, Rancho Cucamonga, or Fontana.  | |

London gets a mention in Come On as far as I remember | |

Sure. I'v already lost count. He's been mentioning Jyväskylä on almost every album since 94 East -times. Or wait... i think there's no Jyväskylä mentioned on Come... no, there it is at the very end of Orgasm: "I Love Jyväskylä". ********************************************

Both are great joints but It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night is an awesome groove. And some of us motor babies do the Detroit Crawl on a regular basis. See you Jan. 22 in Ann Arbor.
