"Thunder" is a song by Prince and the New Power Generation, from the 1991 album Diamonds and Pearls. It was issued as a 12-inch single picture disc in the UK only, and the edited version was available only on the promotional single. The lyrics refer to the night Prince decided to withdraw The Black Album, when he was rumored to have suffered a bad ecstasy trip[citation needed].

[edit] Chart Performance

The song was another top 30 hit for Prince, peaking at #28 in the U.K., and continuing the moderate success of "Diamonds and Pearls" singles there.
