The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince

(Ernie, Big Mike, Paris and Jen are driving back from the grocery store. “Starfish and Coffee” by Prince comes on the car CD player.)

Ernie: What’s the name of this song?
Big Mike: “Starfish and Coffee.”
Ernie: What is UP with Prince and his overtly sexual song titles, anyway?
Big Mike: “Like Little Red Corvette.”
Jen: Or “Diamonds or Pearls.”
Paris: “Cream.”
Ernie: Yeah, exactly. He might as well write a song and call it “I Want To Orgasm In Your Vagina.”
Paris: Oh, everyone knows he’s not going to write a song like that. Nothing…
Everyone, in eerie unison: … rhymes with “vagina.”
Paris: Wow, you guys are good.
Ernie: It’s contagious.

Angina. Red China. Ummm …

Okay, those two.

regina, saskatchewan, canada. and it’s even pronounced like vagina, ruh-jiy-nuh, not ruh-gee-nah.

I say Prince would probably rhyme “nothing more finer” with fachina
