What about that Salt N Pepa song? I think it was Shoop. I don't know if was Top 10 but was a popular song at the time.

"Bad Touch" by Bloodhound Gang, while not Top 10, was certainly a very popular tune! |

Emenem - can't think of the name of the song but lyric was something like "...ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol"
Missy Elliot - again can't remember name of song (not a rap fan) but recall some guy dressed as Prince in a yellow outfit in one of her videos and think the lyrics actually mention Prince. These were big hits so quite likely top 10s [Edited 10/27/12 2:00am] | |

the first time I ever heard Prince mentioned in a song was Bobby Nunn's 1982 R&B hit "She's Just A Groupie"......
she'll do anything if Prince would take her home.....that's what she says
it reached number 15 on the R&B charts,so not quite a top 10

Talking Heads did a video (can't remember which song) with a Prince look-alike in the mid 80's |

It was a massive hit all around the globe, especially in europe. Here in germany it was #1 in the charts and got so many airplay that I can't listen to it anymore.

I can remember a P Diddy single and video where he talks about partying while listening to prince. [Edited 10/27/12 17:32pm] |

This song is so saccharine it nearly makes me wretch. It's nice that the newbies are keeping his name out there tho. "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |

I like that it has the Something In The Water riff. Yeah, it's pop drivel, but there's a place for pop drivel, just like there's a place for Prince's music. | |

Yeah, and all the other ones, too. The only one I know is "Stronger".
But then again, I'm an old geezer who is one step away from a cane. I wonder if I can borrow Prince's semen-filled cane?!? | |
