DYK?
I think there's a good DYK we can pull from this, perhaps along the lines of how this is considered nearly educational or something like that. I would nominate, but really that should be up to who created the article. (But I can handle doing the nom process but give you the credit for that if desired). --M ASEM (t) 01:13, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * You can nominate it - I've actually never nominated something for DYK! Ha. Saginaw-hitchhiker (talk) 03:33, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Prince's use of numbers
Would a link to either Prince singles discography or to a specific example like I Would Die 4 U or Money Don't Matter 2 Night be appropriate?Naraht (talk) 14:50, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * "I Would Die 4 U" is a good example to stick with. --M ASEM (t) 15:14, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't think the reference to Love Symbol Album in the copy is appropriate, and should be removed. While the album corresponds to the symbol shown in the video, the songs with numbers in their title on the album are not the first or even better-known instances of Prince using numbers in a title. Both "I Would Die 4 U" and "Nothing Compares 2 U" come to mind way before any of the songs on Love Symbol (including "7"), no? Both those also pre-date that album. I think the reference to the album needs to not be there. - Hooperswim (talk) 01:18, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Clippit makes a comeback
Clippit, the animated paperclip Microsoft Office Assistant, makes an appearance in the music video at the lyrics, "Just keep in mind that 'be', 'see', 'are', 'you' are words, not letters. Get it together.  Use your spellchecker."

Unless you're se7en
I would argue that the line "unless you're seven" refers to the 1995 movie "Se7en" and not to a person's age. 170.171.1.5 (talk) 18:50, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That's a very novel interpretion and would need to be backed by sources, since the video clearly indicates its meant to be a child's age and not the movie. (and no, the movie "Seven" is only stylized with the number, it is not spelled with it). --M ASEM  (t) 19:00, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
