The Prince Emulator

Even though 1999 has come and gone, you can still get delirious right now!

Or maybe not. In his book Microserfs, Douglas Coupland describes a utility called the "Prince Emulator":

"Todd is compressing code this week and as a sideline invented what he calls a "Prince Emulator"--a program th@ converts whatever you type into a title of a song by Minnesotan Funkmeister, Prince. I sampled it using part of todays diary." (page 18)

As either a demonstration of programming prowess, or proof that I have way too much time on my hands, I decided to write my own. And, as it's no fun doing it alone, I figured I should make it available to the world!
