2. Shortest song

3. Longest album

4. Shortest album

5. Longest remix

8. How many songs does he have that begin with each letter of the alphabet? (i.e. A = 50) may take a while huh?

9. Shortest Song Title ("7" maybe? )

10. Longest Song Title ("2 Nigs...."?)

11. Song with the most lyrics?

13. Which uses the least instruments?

14. How many accapella songs?

16. What was his very FIRST KNOWN recording?

17. Anyone know where I can find a picture of Prince with either Madonna or Kylie, if one exists?


Thank You!

That's a lot of questions!

I'll offer these suggestions


2. Shortest song:

"Wedding Feast" is less than 1 minute long - probably a good thing.

("For You" clocks in at just over 1 minute.)

7. Song with the most remixes (alternate version, etc...)

Officially released remixes etc: 'The Most Beautiful Girl In The World', I think.

9. Shortest Song Title - "7" maybe?

It's either '7' or 'U', I think.

10. Longest Song Title ("2 Nigs...."?)

Rock 'N' Roll Is Alive (And It Lives In Minneapolis) - 39 letters

(although remixed version full titles would include:

The Greatest Romance Ever Sold [Neptunes Extended Remix Featuring Q-Tip] - 60 letters)

Full title of 17 Days is

17 Days (the rain will come down then U will have 2 choose if U believe, look 2 the dawn and U shall never lose)

Somewhat longer than Rock 'N' Roll is Alive and it Lives in Minneapolis

Longest song (unrealeased)- would Die 4 U (30:41) - full length version that was shortened for the US 12" release

Longest Song (released)- The War 26 mins

He actually worked with Neptunes??! Didn't know that...

thank you guys so much. I'm trying to complile some information. Thanks

8. How many songs does he have that begin with each letter of the alphabet? (i.e. A = 50) may take a while huh?

This also depends upon how you interpret the title: some people choose to ignore the definite and indefinite artiicle when cataloguing titles.

So, for example, 'The Sacrifice Of Victor', might be considered to begin with either 'T' or 'S' dependent upon the convention adopted. Similarly, whilst prince listed the titles of the Madhouse songs as 'One', 'Two', 'Three' etc, he chose to adopt numbers for aother songs such as '7' and '3 Chains O' Gold'. In such cases, some people would index '7' as starting with a number rather than a letter, whereas others might include it as beginning with the letter 'S'.

On a separate note, and simply out of curiosity, what is the purpose of compiling this information?

Damn you guys know so much, I love it! I was looking forward to reading the answers on this one, thanks!

Isn't "Billy's Sunglasses about 50 minutes?

I have Prince rehearsing one song that lasts an hour, non-stop. He repeats the phrase "Soul Psychedelicide", but it's not like the known out-take. It's brilliant, whatever it is.
