Days after Prince took Twitter by storm, the singer teased us with the cover art for the new single from his group, 3rd Eye Girl, and it is perfect:

If that image looks familiar to you, it's because it's a reference to Charlie Murphy's famous Prince story, which he told back in 2004 on "The Chappelle Show." That's Dave Chappelle dressed as Prince:

At least in recent memory, funny Internet things can now be divided into two categories: things that are pretty good, but not quite as good as Prince's cover art:

-The vaccuum cleaner man
-This Russian kid at the club
-George Bush's dog paintings
-DMX using The Google
-This scientific paper on Chicken

And things that are better than Prince's cover:
-Nothing

Here's a clip of the song, reminding you that Breakfast can Wait:
