Prince should do his own version of "Purple People Eater". Really funk it out!

Prince seems to go through phases of liking different colours, which are usually reflected in his stage wear. Obviously after the success of Purple Rain he will forever be with associated with that colour and sometimes seems to play along with it, such as recently painting some of the walls of his 3121 LA house purple.

Purple is traditionally the colour of royalty, since back in medieval times it was expensive to produce garments in that colour, so Prince/royalty fits, though wether Prince was ever aware of that, who knows?

^_^ Thanks! I thought about purple sometimes representing royalty, but I thought that maybe there was another reason.
