Prince, thank you for the incredible web sites over the years- always a Master!

My mind is drawning a blank. The only one I can think of now is:

Crucial in Adore

one i like is in the HOT THIG remix... a bit of "sugar walls" is played.

Batdance mentions Electric Chair and The Future

The rap on Push mentions most of the tracks on Diamonds and Pearls

International Lover mentions Diamonds and Pearls(years before it's release)

U Got the Look also mentions Crucial

"Let's make IT slow"

Slow Love

A bit obvious but, "2 Whom It May Concern" & the song " New Power Soul" mentions almost all songs on resp. albums !

Push it Up - Jam of the Year & Gett Off

"2morrow"

"TMBGITW" line is said in the background vocals.

The Rainbow Children references Controversy.

Joy in Repitition mentions Soul Psychadelicide

Fhunkin said:

Incense and Candles references WIlling and ABle

Kiss mentions Little Girl Wendy's Parade


Musicology plays snippets of 17 Days, Little Red Corvette, If I Was Your Girlfriend, Kiss, and Sign 'O' The Times--or does that not count 'cause it's sampled and not part of the lyrics?

DevotedPuppy said:

I don't think that counts. But the My Computer synth line in Musicology would be a good reference.

it is a video but in the partyman vid he walks in whistling arms of orion

Come: 18 & Over

DevotedPuppy said:

SlamGlam said:

I disagree.

SlamGlam said:

200 Balloons has Rave Un2the Joy Fantastic in it...don't know if that counts or not...
