Try and list all the place-names in Prince songs!

They can be countries, towns, cities, clubs etcetera - just so long as they are real!

I'll start with London!

Mad Sex
Same damn bird from London, Finally had the nerve 2 say...

Lé Grind
London - What does Big Ben say?

Condition Of The Heart
There was a dame from London who insisted that he love her

Family Name
London, England sometime in the early 1600s

Come On
We could freeze in London - U could hear me sing
And if U wanna make love then - U got 2 wear my ring

20 days in London - U ain't give me no love
Could it be another brother man - That U're thinkin' of?

Oh man, I LOOOVE that line. "From Pakistan to Poland, straight into yer town, stealin' up kiddies like a circus clown!"

Detroit, what's happenin'? What color is yer money today?

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 peoples mouths will only get you elected.

Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamine.

That's such a great line because it so descriptive.

I kinda step into Prince's shoes at that moment in the song, in the minds eye since it's such a visual line. smile

Ah...I hadn't thought of that. That's probably more likely. I've only been through Plymouth a couple of times (even though I only live an hour south of the Twin Cities) and wondered how and where you could pick up anyone there. biggrin

Ooo..just thought of more!:
Twin Cities - "TC's Rap" on the "New Power Generation" extended single
Minneapolis - "The Flow"

Its also the name of a city on the south coast of England. But I cant see Prince cruising through there somehow!

How about "Old Friends For Sale" (Vault Version): "Night fell darkest in Persia/moon wasn't shinin' nowhere"?


"Annie Christian": "So she moved to Atlanta/and she bought a blue car"

"Dance On": "Detroit, what's happenin'?"

"All The Critics Love U In New York" (self-explanatory)

"Vicki Waiting": "All is well in Gotham City"

Actually, yes, I'm bored. I'm sitting here at work with no work to do yet again. On the plus side, I'm getting a lot of reading done for me to catch up in the Star Wars: New Jedi Order series. smile
