which songs mention Prince?

I am trying to figure out all the songs that have mentioned Prince. I know eminem mentions him in Feel so Empty without Me, Missy Elliot in Work it, Salt N' Pepa in Shoop, and that weird Mammals song. Thats all I can remember right now. Anyone else?

That's about the sum of the story.

It's mentioned by Uptown in issue #47 here:

Where?

17 Days

I called U yesterday, U didn't answer your phone
The main drag is knowing that U probably weren't alone
So here I sit in my lonely room lookin' 4 my sunshine
But all I've got is 2 cigarettes and this broken heart of mine

CHORUS:
So let the rain come down, the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down, the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

U've been gone 17 days and 17 long nights
The main drag is knowing that U're holding someone else tight
I wanna call U every day and beg U 2 be near me
But I know your head is under water, I doubt that U could hear me

CHORUS

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
17 days
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
17 days

I called U yesterday
U didn't answer your phone
Yet, U're the one who's always lonely
But I'm the one who's always alone

Here I sit in my lonely room lookin' 4 my sunshine
All I've got is 2 cigarettes and this broken heart of mine

CHORUS {repeat}

Why don't U answer your phone, babe? {fade out}

...a song called "Breakdown," by The Jim Yoshii Pileup

One last chance to say all the things you wanted to.
One last chance to sue all the people you wanted to.
You ask me what’s my greatest fear.
Honey, it’s living here earning $6.50/hr. And I feel like I'm being tested.
Don't test me.
One last chance to sue all the people you wanted to.
One last chance to slander all the people you wanted to.
You ask me what’s my greatest fear.
Honey, it’s living here earning $6.50/hr.
And often when I’m sitting in my room,
I stare at my poster of Prince,
and sometimes I think of you. And I spit when I do.
I...hate...that...piece...of....me...it...looks...too...much...like...you.
