Prince Trivia Question: For the Prince fanatics

Calling all Prince fanatics!!! Who can list the most songs by Prince where he mentions someone's name? "When 2 r n love" Prince says someone's name at the end (i think) but I can't make out the name. Is it Holly? Here's my list:

--------------------------------------------

Billy Jack Bitch

The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker

Ronnie Talk to Russia

Dinner with Delores

Circle Of Amour (Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle)

Vicki Waiting

Batdance (Vicki Vale)

Darlin Nickki

Alphabet St. (Cat, we need u to rap)

Sarah

Chelsea Rodgers

Bambi (maybe this one counts, not sure?)

There's someone called Martha in 'Insatiable', though I don't know who she's supposed to be. And of course there's 'Lisa', 'The Sacrifice of Victor', 'Anna Stesia', 'The Ladder' (Elektra), 'Annie Christian', 'The Ballad of Dorothy Parker' and 'Cloreen Bacon Skin'.

AND all the people he mentions in 'Style'.

Oh, and 'Act of God': something something protect us from Saddam.

Scandalous is different from Insatiable.

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

Holy shit, I NEVER knew what he said in Mountains. Now I can finally sing along for real instead of just making something up, like "Mommy I'm-a comin'" like I normally do. smile

No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamine.

Oh yeah, shitloads of namechecking on "Musicology" too.

Kinda went with the period. So many were doing it, but it felt a bit weird coming from Prince.
