P songs that mention other P songs by P

2 whom it may concern or the little rap on[b] PUSH [/b[
are obvious examples.....

another is on [b]Housequake
,,,"you cant GET OFF until you make the house shake"

Another would be on 3121 "it's going down ya'll , like the Wall of Berlin"

Excluding unintentional references might make more sense. Or are we going to list every song that contains "It" or "Girl" or "Baby" in the lyrics?

NO, the name of ths song has to be in the lyric. not just the same lyric.

He does the same thing in "Ol' Skool Company" that he does in "Push", where he names the other songs on the CD.

"Love Hurts.
Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

Crystal Ball is mentioned in Hot Thing.

And the "get off" example is weak at best. Anyone can say "get off". Doesn't mean it's a straight up reference to another song. That's REAAAALLLYY stretching it.

Prince "raps" during "Push" and mentions most of the songs on D&P, including the B-side "Horny Pony". "Batdance" and "rave" is used a lot in "200 Balloons", and vice versa.

Lovesexy is mentioned in "I No".

well i just figured that since "crucial" was written together with
the bulk of those other songs, it was a reference.

oh yeah I agree. It would have to be at least arguably intentional. IT and GIRL and KISS and COME are used in loads of songs

I'm pump-pump-pump-pump-pumpin' 'em
From Pakistan 2 Poland straight into yo' town (Get on the mic) {x2}
Snatchin' up kiddies like a circus clown (Get on the mic) (Get on the microphone)
Hahahaha...

I think Purple Medley is the winner of song mentions.
