Chain Around Waist - Time To Retire This Lyric

I think it's time for Prince to retire the "chain around waist" lyric. By my count, that's 3 times now - and for a very specific lyric that's a bit much.

We Can Funk: "see this gold chain around my waist? I wanna give it to you . . ."

Hot Wit U: "I wanna make you climb this chain around my waist, so I can prove . . ."

Guitar: "usually around your waist like a chain, but then, I got the call . . ."

"like this chain around my hip, I want a 24k relationship"

lol When I heard Guitar, I thought, is he talking about a chain around the waist again? It is a sexy concept, though...

At this point the chain-on-hips/waist line is so common it ranks up there with purple, the number 7, and taxicabs for common references.

Well, I'm not complaining. The chain works for him. I bet he wears it still under his quasi-conservative suits and strange tunics. smile
