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.

move out and draw fire

Well now, that context actually changes my answer. "When Doves Cry" is it from a musicology perspective, but if you're introducing someone to Prince and one taste has to represent the whole buffet, I think it's "1999."

The opening chords, the musical intricacy, the very Prince vocal style, the apoclyptic-ness, the percussion track, the funk rhythm, it's the whole package.

Plus, it captures the "one minute to midnight" aspect of life in the 80s that is so impossible to explain to people who didn't live it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now for some reason, I want to say "Delirious" because it's so fun.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Damn, but I'm awfully suggestible today. Those are solid arguments for 1999.

...How about Whitney Houston?

Because books.

I love "1999" but I think I'd go with "Little Red Corvette".

For Whitney, probably "Greatest Love of All".

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm with Lee, that's my fave. So joyous and fun.

Because books.

I love "How Will I Know," but I think "Greatest Love" is more representative of Whitney overall, I guess.
