And on the Dorothy Parker controversy, In the book D.M.S.R. it says that Prince came up with the song in a dream and had no idea that Dorothy Parker was a real person until Susannah clued him in.

Well, what about Cynthia from "Starfish & Coffee"? She was a real person(not imagination) according 2 the liner notes of Sabotage's Dream Factory LP, she was Sussanah's classmate.

Well I know these are unreleased but it's all I could think of...

01) Bobby Z in "There's Others Here With Us".

Bobby had an uncle who took a string
And wrapped his neck around it, a pitiful thing.


02) Martika in "Martika's Kitchen".

03) Johnny Carson in "Tricky".

Johnny, Johnny!
Don't U wish U could get on TV?
On the 1!
My man say "Johnny, Johnny!" Oh!
