Apart from a talent for genre-hopping (dance) music, Prince Rogers Nelson* had a sublime gift for lyrics, both bawdy and affecting, often turning out great rhyming couplets. Here’s one of my favourites:

* Blessed with such a name, how could he not turn out such beautiful innuendo as he did?

** I think they’ve split up

*** as well as snappy dismissals and sneering disdain, of course
