Animals Strike Curious Poses

I don't think Prince intended it that way, but When Doves Cry is a hilarious song. Just thinking about it makes me smirk and giggle. Part of this, I think, is due to the classic Simpson's moment when Milhouse embraces his double and tearfully says "So this is what it sounds like when doves cry." Cracks me up every time.

The rest of it is just the silly lyrics, which beg to be used as ironic catchphrases: Dig if you will...Touch if you will...Animals strike curious poses... just what the hell is a curious animal pose?

So here's my new, updated list of catchphrases, which I'll flash out given half a chance:
Can you dig it?
Have fun storming the castle!
I'm just as God made me.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
I don't want this; I want large bread.
Our chief weapons are...
Really Belgium.
Dig if you will..

Enough. I'm sure there are more - I'm a walking repository of obscure pop culture references - but I'm tired of thinking. Here's your homework:
1. Define the term curious animal pose.
2. Identify the origins of the phrases above.
3. Tell me about a song you think is funny. (Note: this song can't be intended to be funny, it must be unintentionally funny).

Now go forth and sin no more.

But come back with your answers.

Don't make me chase you. Even doves have pride.
