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.

Dance On:

It's time 4 new education
The former rules don't apply
We need a power structure that breeds production
Instead of jacks who vandalize
Detroit - what's happenin'?

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

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:

I live near Minneapolis now, so...! razz biggrin

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.

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 smile I don't live in LA but a suburb. I don't think He'll ever mention West Covina, Rancho Cucamonga, or Fontana. sad

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".

dreamfactory313, you are dead on it and that is one of the reasons why I decided to purchase the domain name TheDetroitCrawl.Org for my group's web site. 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.
