What?

Off the top of my head, I'm going to say "The Sacrifice of Victor." But I'd have to listen to the song or check DTT to be sure. But I think the words "The Sacrifice of Victor" are not actually said in that order in the song.

Also, if you count "Orgasm," you could say that.

Good One. And what about Purple Rain?

"P Control"

This is harder than I thought. I can only think of Loveleft, Loveright.

And P Control if we're getting technical.

Sexy M.F. would count too if P Control does.

And F.U.N.K but not PFUnk.

Confusing.

Wedding Feast

Staxowax? Or is that really cheating?

Wasted Kisses

2045 Radical man.

Think we're scraping the barrel now

Ooh! Since "A Place in Heaven" was usually written backward, it would technically count too, right?

Where's the OP? We need some rulings here...

I was thinking along the lines of 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' where you couldn't guess the title from the lyrics.

That's the mix.

Yeah, I figured that wouldn't count. I was just enjoying playing the game.

Think you're struggling then. I can't think of any Prince songs where the title isn't used at all in the song itself

Avalanche??

Does that actually get said in the song??

yes it does. Bollocks.

That one's not actually true, because "D.M.S.R." is sung in the background a couple times.

Something In The Water? He says Something In The Water like a million times (Must be something in the water they drink...)

And he says does not computer like a million and a half times in the background vocals. I mean he deoesn't say them in succession but he does say those words in the song.

He doesn't say "something in the water does not compute". He says pieces of that, but not all seven words in a row.

If we're playing by that rule of "not in succession", then "Anotherloverholenyohead" doesn't count either, and we KNOW he doesn't say "Another lover hole in your head".

Perhaps you're right on that one.
