Which Prince Song Marries The Sacred and Profane The Best?

Which Prince song best unites the disparate themes of the sacred and profane? In my opinion, Anna Stecia best marries the ever present themes in his music composed of conflicting elements of the sacred and the profane--i.e. sexuality vs. spirituality. I don't think anyone can bring up one of his songs that so smoothly integrates what is not supposed to be compatible. If anyone can think of one that does the job better--let us hear about it! wink

Not necessarily the song itself, but the scene in Graffiti Bridge when Elephants and Flowers is played blends the two...since the song is spiritual and a little profane and the people in the audience and being really sexual. :p

What is your main problem?
To whom it may concern: I love you!

"Temptation" is a really good one, maybe the best example (if not the most obvious).
