“Starfish and Coffee” is a Prince song that can cheer you up in almost any situation — even waking up to realize that Prince is really gone.
The tune, a joyously catchy ditty from Prince’s wildly underrated “Sign O’ the Times” album, takes us back to his childhood. To the surprise of no one, Prince went to a weird elementary school, one where a mischievous girl named Cynthia Rose liked to describe her extremely unique breakfasts.
Prince was notorious for keeping his songs from popping up where he didn’t want them, but a rare video of him acting out “Starfish and Coffee” with the Muppets got lots of attention after his death Tuesday.
