“…How Hot Chip made Over and Over” - Prince references

https://www.theguardian.c...r-and-over

In this article Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor says, “I didn’t have any words for Over and Over written in advance. Joe…my words were a response to the groove. Joy in Repetition is a Prince song so I borrowed the phrase. I’m singing about the “joy in repetition” I could sense Joe was feeling in making minimal, repetitive dance music – which was fairly new to us – and I was saying, “I’m really with you when that joy is in you.”

Alexis Taylor is a bit of big Prince fan and did a cover of Old Friends 4 Sale in 2016:

In the article, Jon Goddard also makes a reference to Prince

“I couldn’t understand his [Alexis] obsession with Prince to begin with, though – I just thought of Prince as a strange, sex-obsessed dwarf.”
There may or may not be something coming!
