Prince and his new band 3RDEYEGIRL are putting out their self-titled album later on this year, and the newest single “Breakfast Can Wait” is pop-culture gold.
It’s a synth-heavy seduction song listing all of the scrumptious breakfast foods Prince would be indulging in if it were not for his overwhelming sexual desire for the person he is addressing.
Prince, who recently joined the Twitter masses, took the song past our wildest fan fantasies with the album cover: a hilarious picture of comedian Dave Chappelle dressed as Prince for a 2004 skit on “Chappelle’s Show,” brandishing hotcakes and donning an impressive Jerry curl wig.
The release of “Breakfast Can Wait” coincides with the end of Chappelle’s seven-year hiatus from the limelight.
Listen to this song in the morning, with or without a lover, and bask in the pop greatness. Warning: song may cause intense hotcake cravings.
