Songs Begetting Songs

I've always enjoyed how some Prince lyrics seemingly reference other Prince songs. Sometimes the songs aren't released for years. Makes me think the songs were all written in a single fit of creativity and shelved for later release...

Song : Lyric : Song
=====
"3121" : "It's going down ya'll, like the wall of Berlin" : "Wall of Berlin"
"Adore" : "It's crucial..." : "Crucial"

There's also been moments/lyrics in some songs that seem to suggest another (unreleased) song exists...

I think "Crucial" predates "Adore".

How about "International Lover"'s reference to "Diamonds and Pearls".
