"Cream" is a song by Prince and the New Power Generation from the 1991 album Diamonds and Pearls. The song is Prince's fifth (and currently last) US #1 hit single. The track is a sexy rock and roll number that owes a nod to T.Rex's "Bang a Gong (Get It On)". Prince claimed that he had writting the song while standing in front of a mirror.
