Prince's use of numbers!! Help!

Hey, I know this sounds completley useless but I want to come up with the sum of all the numbers prince has used in a song. I need some help since I only have six of his cds. This may be hard but I'm up for the challenge. If the number is included in the chorus and repeated several times just count it once.
Thanks!
Here I'll start:
"her favorite number was 20"-starfish and coffee
"3 seats over theres a lady"-race
"1999"-1999
"200"-200 balloons
"i've got 3 chains o gold"-3 chains o gold
"I come a thousand different ways"-life can be so nice
Take U upstairs 2 the 14th room--Of 100,000 compliments, boo -hot wit u

I know there are several more I need some help!

Ah, newbieism.... biggrin

Here's a few:

"319" - 319
"7" - 7
"World War III" - Moonbeam Levels
"If I see 11, you can say it's 7" - I Wish U Heaven
"barely 21" - Hot Thing
"2 the 9s" - Love 2 the 9s

Speaking of 2 the 9s, are you gonna include all the 4s and 2s and 2morrows and 4evers? giggle You'll melt your fucking calculator.

"...17 mountains stood so high..."
"A Million Days"
"One Song"
"...testicles: 1, 2"

are you going to include all the times he says "one"?

What about the end of "Last December" -- "one, one, one, one, one, one..."??
or all the times he says, "1, 2, 3, 4"
or all the times he says, "on the one!" -- "on the 2 & 4" etc.

Well ... given that he sings about "a million" in 'Pop Life', another "million" in 'The Good Life (Big City Remix)', some eight million in the extended version of 'I Hate U', a further "thirty million" in '2045 Radical Man', 'a hundred million' in 'Damn U' and "one hundred thousand million" in 'A Million Days', I'd say you've underestimated slightly.
