Unreleased tracks mentioned in other songs

So I was reading the God thread and got to thinking about the fact that the lyrics mention the Dance Electric, a song Prince never released himself.

We all know he mentions other tracks now and again, but are there any other instances of him naming unreleased tracks in other songs?

PFUnk mentions the Grand Progression
Hot Thing mentions CRystal Ball (that went unreleased for a long time)
Joy in Repetition mentions Soul Psychodelicide.

Any more instances you can think of?

Movie Star > "Can I Play With U?"

You could say that a ton of songs reference the unreleased song "U"

Those are just words, not necessarily a mention of a song, per se. The "Hot Thing" reference is a good one because we know the story of Crystal Ball - SOTT whittling down. We know that idea was on Prince's mind at the time, and that's why it's in the song. I think even "International Lover" wasn't an intentional nod to a future song, as it was nowhere near to being written or in Prince's mind.

yeah. It could just be a word used in the song, but the way it's sung and the period it was recorded, I'd definately agree with that one smile

"Batdance" mentioned "The Future", "Electric Chair", and "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic", and possibly "Power" or whatever that track was called. "200 Balloons" is throughout that stuff too.

International Lover

May I have this dance?

Darlin', it appears 2 me
That U could use a date 2night
A body that'll do U right
Tell me, am I qualified?

(Listen)
Baby, I know it's hard 2 believe
But this body here is free 2night, ooh oh
Your very own first class flight
My plane's parked right outside, baby
Don't U wanna go 4 a ride?

I'm an international lover
Yeah, that's right
Let me take U 'round the world
I'll buy U diamonds and pearls
Only if U're good girl, yeah

Darlin', I know it's been a long time
Since U've been satisfied
I can tell by the look in your eyes
U need it real real bad (real bad)
U need it so bad, so bad (real bad)

Baby, maybe if U're good, girl
I'll introduce U 2 my ride, ooh
Don't U wanna come inside?
Come on, baby, I won't fly 2 fast
I've got so much class (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

(International lover)
That's right, baby
Let me take U 'round the world, yeah, yeah
(I'll buy U diamonds and pearls)
I will buy U diamonds and pearls, baby

(Only if U're good, girl)
Gotta be good, U gotta be good
Yeah, yeah, please!

Good evening
This is your pilot Prince speaking
U are flying aboard the Seduction 747, mmm
And this plane is fully equipped with anything your body desires

If 4 any reason there's a loss in cabin pressure
I will automatically drop down 2 apply more
And 2 activate the flow of excitement
Extinguish all clothing materials and pull my body close 2 yours
Place my lips over your mouth, and kiss, kiss, normally

In the event there is over excitement
Your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device

La, la, la {x5}

We ask that U please observe the "No Letting Go" sign
I anticipate a few turbulence along the way

We are now making our final approach 2 Satisfaction
Please bring your lips, your arms, your hips
Into the upped and locked position
4 landing
Can U feel it? Can U feel it?
Ooh! Ow! Yeah!

Let me take U 'round the world
Girl, let it all hang out

Yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, yeah, yes, uh

Welcome 2 Satisfaction
Please remain awake until the aircraft has come 2 a complete stop
Thank U 4 flying Prince International
Remember, the next time U fly
Fly the International Lover

No it's not. It's from "Vibrator", which is a rather funny Vanity 6 song. "Vibrator" was recorded in the summer of 1983. "Lady Cab Driver" was obviously recorded well before that on July 7, 1982. (Remember, the 1999 album was released late in 1982 - October to be exact.

"Movie Star" contains a sample of "Jam Of the Year" at the beginning. Before it was another song, I think.
