Brand names in Prince songs?

Can you think of any brand names that have appeared in P songs other than these:

Peter Paul's Almond Joy
Captain Crunch
Thunderbird
Corvette

Maybe we can map the purple one's consuming habits...

By the way, does he have to ask permission to use these names?

Yes, I'm bored. smile

..and the Accu-jack....apparently invented by someone with 99 flowers on their back....thats alot of flowers.


Never having actually seen one I guess it could be this.....

http://www.saturnorthoped...tures.html

..but, I don't know, I just have the feeling its more likely to be this...

Years ago, I was a crash test dummy for sex toys. I'd field-test and review pleasure gadgets for books and zines. One of these toys was an Accu-Jack, a male masturbation device similar to Austin Powers' Swedish penis pump. I was sent a tarted-up pneumatic version and gave it the thumbs down it deserved--it sounded like a jackhammer and could suck the rivets out of the space shuttle.

Technicolor--Good Love

Disneyland--Lady Cab Driver

Cheerios--All My Dreams

Magic Shave--Return of the Bump Squad

Jordans--We Do This (One Nite Alone...Live!)

What about Glam Slam & Get Wild--they were both name brands but only after the respective songs came out and neither song specifically refers to the product of the same name (dance club & cologne)...

brand name edit

The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.
