What song or album by prince do you know by heart?

Is there a song from any era that you can sing every lyric even recite the

guitar solos ?

I know I'm not the only one who can remember the entire Purple Rain album biggrin

Purple Rain
The Rainbow Children
Parade
Grafitti Bridge
3121
Planet Earth
Rave Un 2
Exodus
Emancipation disc 2
Gold Experience
The Vault

Overall I'd say I know the words to about 80- 85 percent of Prince's songs by heart.
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

wow, I have often wondered about that, i dont think there is any song i could recite or write the lyrics to completely, even if i have been listening to them 25 odd yrs.
If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

I know the words to hundreds of songs by heart.

I guess it's because I love to sing all the time... I ain't exactly a great singer but I don't care lol

I haven't been a teenager for over 20 some years but I still remember the words to songs I learned in grade school.

Quick, gimmie the lyrics to Power Fantastic without looking. lol

I think it is a gift to be able to do that, I have always found it amazing that some people can pick up the lyrics of a song after a few listens, I even struggle at Karaoke lol

Let's put it this way: If he forgot his lyrics at a show, he could just ask me. lol

When I was 16 I wrote the lyrics to Darling Nikki in one of my books.

My Mum read it and thought it was a diary entry.

She got straight on to my sister (also a fan - Domebaby69) and ranted on about how I've been seduced by some woman, etc. (you know the song).

My sister couldn't stop laughing!!!

Parents eh?
