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?

Kiss -> Little Girl Wendy's Parade.

crucial! i think i want u from "u got the look"

IstenSzek said:

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

Pimprag said:

yes exclude

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

In the song-Old Skool Company he mentions 77beverly park,dance4me and better with time.

i thought he was singing "little wendy's gonna play"

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".

thepope2the9s said:

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

heres another one :

from the song Emancipation "see u in the purple Rain"

Surprised no-one said Joy In Repetition -> Soul Psychodelicide yet

International lover has over 10.... i think the final count was 15 or so.

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

Well, it might not be "The Grand Progression" but it sure is funky... from PFunk

the king seems to be "Push"

It's Thunder when I'm on the mic (I push)
Daddy Pop's in the house
And U're sure 2 like his Diamonds
Sure 2 like his Pearls (I push)
I'm good 2 Cream every boy and girl
Cuz I'm [b]Strollin', steady, hip-hop, rock and rollin'
A Willing And Able Horny Pony
And I'm pumpin' 'em, I'm pumpin' 'em
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...


with 6 intentional SONGS MENTIONS

So did I. All these years, I've been hearing it wrong? WTF?

I think Purple Medley is the winner of song mentions.

nyse said:

"Valentina, tonight I’m busy. Tell your Mama 77 Beverly Park- it gets better with time. Got the Ol’ Skool Company, ya’ll- dancin’ in the dark. I don’t mind. I don’t mind…"

I'm sure there are 2 or 3 songs that mention Kiss
