The Ballad of Dorothy Parker: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast

On Episode 92 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, I welcome a new guest, Angel Monique, to chat about one of the greatest story songs in Prince’s career, “The Ballad of Dorothy Parker,” from Sign O’ the Times. We navigate the dream-like stream of consciousness lyrics, debate whether Prince actually knew who Dorothy Parker was when he wrote the song, and generally have a great time talking about a song we both hold in such high esteem. Angel’s Perfect Chocolate Chip cookies can be found at Daisy Bee Confections.
