Day 16: Favorite lyric

Disclaimer: Difficult to choose, but because it has a great (for that time original) lyric music video:

*Sign '☮️' the Times*

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADj9Z5im7Ao (live on tv 1987, followed by play in the sunshine, quite good audio quality (1st song better than 2nd song) and quite good video quality (with a short glitch during 1st song)

Dat 13: A song Prince wrote to someone else

Disclaimer: I assume this should be 'A song Prince wrote for someone else'. I also assume that it should be explicitly be written for someone else, so not an existing Prince composition that was covered. This includes of course almost all songs written for side-projects and because I already picked A Love Bizarre, I'm going to showcase this one for you:

*Jill Jones - Baby you're a trip*

Unfortunately a good Jill's version is not available publicly on the internet, so you have to it with this lip-synced performance on Rai Uno.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdT7-2ZcKIw (mediocre audio quality, bad video quality)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf0_eRTvFas (Prince' version, released after his death)

Day 11: Favorite side-project

*A Love Bizarre* by Sheila E

Disclaimer: Because Prince is not listed as the artist, this is a side project. But Prince is all over it (like co-lead), so I'm cheating a little 😉.
