Well, actually, I've never heard Prince being played by a DJ without asking, but when I go and ask them for Prince's song they usually say : 'Prince? Sure, always!' and it is most often 'Cream' and 'Kiss'. And yeah, people dance for Prince! Really, they do! I love these moments!

P-Control! And not a butt in their seats.

This millenium? none.

There was ONE time while the dj was switching songs, in between I heard the Kiss drum beat and recognized it instatntly. that's about it. I do get all giggly when I hear him come on the radio tho

This is funny, but everytime I go to Dollar General they are either playing When Doves Cry or Raspberry Beret.

Last time was a few months ago - they played "Kiss."

Last time I heard a contemporary song (i.e. a song prince wrote in the last 15 years) was Pussy Control in 2006.

In LA thursday night, a club is playing all prince music.

never ...........

I heard some of the unauthorized house mixes of Prince songs right near the end of my serious club-going years. Other than that, never. I didn't go to those kind of clubs or I probably would have heard them all the time, though.

and that my purple friends is why P needs to let GOOD remixers loose on his hits or current trax. He's old and has NO ear for a younger crowds tastes anymore. Listen in the usual places for some cool remixes, burn 'em and given to the DJ!

The DJ was in the middle of a neo-soul set and played "Ballad of Dorothy Parker"....oldheads there were like "oh shit!" and jumped up Younger crowd kept dancing and knew it was Prince.... That song is timeless....

I'd love to see a room full of people try to stay dancin' on the beat to that one. Especially the snare fills.

P Control last spring.

I used to bounce in a few clubs and bars in Boston. Heard Erotic City once or twice, one time mixed with White Horse. Had to maintain my bouncer-ly composure but I dug it!

Became pretty good friends with one of the weekly DJs, gave him that house remix of Dance 4 Me. he spun it once or twice.

BTW, I do dig that remix.

Long as you clap your hands on the two and four...it's never a problem.

You're assuming an awful lot in regards to people being able to FIND the two and four.

I'm a couple years beyond the "young one" category, but I DJ in the (gay) clubs in my town, so my young ones get regular doses of Prince, mainly the major hits. The key is mixing it up and leading in with something modern they like; usually they'll stay on the dance floor for the Prince followup. For example:

- Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" into "When Doves Cry."

- Varied combinations of Britney's "I'm a Slave 4 U", Khia's "My Neck, My Back" and "Kiss" always work nicely together.

(Although I did this one too many times. Once, when the guitar riff to Kiss came in, someone screamed "Argh! Not again!!!" Someone yelled in reply, "Shut up, you know you like it!")

- A lot of college-age straight girls come in and ask for "P Control" but really, the gays don't seem to care for it.

- I like to close with "1999" sometimes. By that time, they're all drunk anyways!

I go to the alternative clubs in Cardiff most of the time and when I go there's usually:

-Kiss

-Kiss/Sex Machine

-1999

-Kiss/Slave

-Gett Off

Sometimes via request from myself or just generally play

shouldn't you be in Newport watching the Golf!.

Nice to know the Welsh at least show P some love!

At a friend's wedding 3 weeks ago, the DJ played Kiss and alot of people got up for it and later on When Doves Cry and only my girlfriend and I was up giving it big moves, we were even doing the moves from the video.....and getting some real weird looks from the crowd.

Living in Glasgow, I probably have less chance of hearing him than most on here.

However, over the past few years, I've heard Fury in one of the pubs I was drinking in, I was dancing away to Justin Timblerlake's Sexyback when the DJ went straight into Kiss, and I also heard Black Sweat played in a club here once.

Like purpledoveuk above, I hear the odd song in shops or supermarkets as well.
