I've always gotten a kick out of Prince's apocalypse/sunday songs... put together this playlist using only official releases. I find it striking how lyrics of earlier songs like "Free" and "America" compare to more recent "Colonized Mind" and "Dreamer"...

1. Controversy

2. Ronnie, Talk to Russia

3. Partyup

4. Annie Christian

5. 1999

6. Free

7. The Dance Electric

8. Purple Rain

9. America

10. The Ladder

11. Crystal Ball

12. Sign O' The Times

13. The Cross

14. Koo Koo (Sheila E.)

15. Love... Thy Will Be Done (Martika)

16. Anna Stesia

17. The Love We Make

18. Colonized Mind

19. Dreamer

20. ... Back 2 The Lotus

Add Dance On to that list

Oh, pick it up!
There's a bass guitar in this

Grenade launcher roars in a television sky
Tell me how many young brothers must die

Dance on, dance on
Dance on, dance on

Little Talk Johnny blew the big score
The gang nailed his feet to a wooden floor
Nuclear Ban never stays in tune
They all know the words but the music is doomed

Everybody
Dance on, dance on
Dance on, dance on
Pick it up
Dance on, dance on

Dance on, dance on
Dance on, dance on

A bass guitar in spider webs, longing for the funk
Uzi gun takes his place in a wagon trunk
(get off me, punk, you ain't sexy)
Stealin' ladies purses then settin' them a'flame
M&M killers playin' Mickey Mouse games

Lord have mercy
Dance on, dance on (Dance on)
Dance on, dance on (Dance on)

It's time for new education
The former rules don't apply
We need a power structure that breeds production
Instead of jacks who vandalize
Detroit - what's happenin'?

What color is your money today? {{this is sung in a round}}
Get your money straight
Everybody dance on

That is a great song list. Will create this at home, already looking forward to it. Anna Stesia rules!!!

You could add Cinnamon Girl to the list. One of my favourite songs from Musicology, and it has a great promo video too.

7, Thunder, & The Future could fit nicely on this list as well.
