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

The single's B-side was "Horny Pony", a rap-pop song that was replaced at the last minute by "Gett Off" on Diamonds and Pearls. "Cream" was also released as a maxi-single EP with remixes and songs/raps loosely based on "Cream". The EP was notable for including several prank telephone conversations.
