Prince - When Doves CryAccording to the Purple Rain DVD, Prince was asked by the director to write a song to match the theme of a particular segment of the film - one which involved intermingled parental difficulties and a love affair. The next morning, Prince had reportedly composed two songs, one of which was "When Doves Cry". Vs. Styxx - Mr. RobotoThe song tells part of the fictitious story of Robert Orin Charles Kilroy (ROCK), in the rock opera Kilroy Was Here. The song is performed by Kilroy (as played by keyboardist Dennis DeYoung), a rock and roll performer who was placed in a futuristic prison for "rock and roll misfits" by the anti-rock-and-roll group the Majority for Musical Morality (MMM) and its founder Dr. Everett Righteous (played by guitarist James Young). The Roboto is a model robot which does menial jobs in the prison. Kilroy escapes the prison by overtaking a Roboto prison guard and hiding inside the emptied-out metal shell. The robot-like catch phrase was created with a vocoder. Stan Winston designed the Roboto costume and mask, which is displayed prominently on the cover of Kilroy Was Here. The track was released as the first single from the album at the last minute instead of "Don't Let It End" at the request of A&M Records.

Goodnight all.

Styx
I'm sorry, but that song is much more iconic of the 80's whether one likes it or not...

You Styx guys are too late. Prince already got his four votes, leaving everyone after the first vote for him null and void.
