I saw some hippo’s and baboons this week and it got me thinking about how Prince has used animals in his songs and concerts.

Which songs, and what and how many animals has he made reference to in his songs and concerts?

And what would a Prince song be like with a Baboon and Hippo in it?

Would it be sexy or spiritual?

Thankyou.

Dolphin is the only song I can think of that is specifically about the animal he is singing about.

Bears ! Where does he sing about Bears.

Yeah, definatley! I mean it's still an animal, just with not too much life in it!

PIG/BACON

Would someone please, please write a song about a hippo and a baboon?

where did you come up with Hippos & Ballons..and why did it make you think of prince

My wife and I have just come back from holiday (vacation) in Gambia and we went on this river safari to see Hippos, and we saw lots of baboons and various kinds on monkeys, and I just thought if Prince was here he'd probably write a song about them.

I wondered where you'd got to!

You wandered where I was! I'm flattered!

I understand it's been very, very cold in the UK, this week.

I picked a good week to go. It was 33 degrees every day in gambia!

Now where's my Hippo song?

I'm sure Prince has sang about a Camel too.

Lottie, would you mind briefly explaining this kevin smith thing?

I feel like I've missed something!
