Prince? I'm going to guess he expects you to dance "The Charleston" to it.

Prince is so down with his/her peeps, dog. He/she is one of those “stars” upon which the hired help are not allowed to gaze or glance. Take a look and you’re fired.

We need to figure out what the victim did to incite so much hatred in the aggressor, and then punish accordingly.

Now the song is mostly identified with Sinead, not him.

He must have gotten over on the royalties. That tune was everywhere for about 6 months.

Umm, if I read correctly the guy died in a van not shot. Secondly how about getting all those stolen guns off the streets of Chicago first ... then we’ll talk.

Im guessing you were referencing the Randy Newman song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhdh8kSM7lY

Get my sister Sandy
And my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon
To haul us all away

Live out in the country
Where the mountain’s high
Never comin’ back here
‘Til the day I die

Oh, Baltimore
Man, it’s hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it’s hard just to live, just to live

the race pimps are making it a lot harder....just to live.
