Buffy ,'Get It Done'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
This is where I insert how totally pissed I still am with myself that I didn't just shell out the ~$500 for the original cel of the "Deny me and be doomed" piece of Hedwig animation. Years later - still burnt.
Dangit!
OTOH, your kids are going to inherit an incredible collection of original comic and animation art.

Saw that in a theater earlier this year. It's... odd. Basically an oral history as told by fans, some famous, some not. The band doesn't appear in the film, nor does any of their music. It was well put together, but I couldn't help thinking that it would have worked just as well as a book.
Quick survey: if you were to choose one song to represent Prince's 80s oeuvre, which one would you pick?
My first thought was Purple Rain, but I think When Doves cry might be my real answer.
1999.
I'm trying to think of something everyone would recognize and that unites party/sexual Prince and spiritual/serious Prince. "Let's Go Crazy," probably. (Although "1999" works, too.)
I'm tending towards "Let's Go Crazy" too. "When Doves Cry" would be my other choice.
"When Doves Cry" or "Kiss."
I think "When Doves Cry."
