U hated that number 9 Hey, I saw your sister skatin’ on the lake this afternoon Good heaven, how she's grown She steals the boy skaters cuz she's so tall But of all your father's children All your father's children, baby U know U are the finest of them all U are brighter than the northern star and I...

p.s. If anybody wants the font which was used on the UK release, it's called Maynard and can be found here: http://www.searchfreefont...nts/m8.htm
I came across it by accident the other month. | |

Thanks for the pictorial, Justin! I always thought that song deserved a video.
I've always loved the song. It was the first Prince song I owned that I didn't have to buy myself. I got it as a gift from someone who really put a lot of thought into what I'd really like as opposed to getting me something they thought I should have, like everyone else. Plus the record was purple, what was not to love?? | |

Well done, thanks Justin!! "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 | |

Yeah, I was just listening to this song and the vocal delivery is just awesome! The song itself is great too, this is my favorite X-Mas jam, you just gotta love it! I don't want to sound oldschool but I wish Prince could do something this intense again... RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... | |

Absolutely brilliant song. I'm amazed that he was able to make a fictional story feel so emotional and touching. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
