It was....interesting to say the least "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

It was a bit weird. Not a very funny bit (but I absolutely despise the Treehouse of Horror episodes anyway). They gave Prince a Michael Jackson-like voice. And I didn't get the seed joke (did I miss something?). | |

any way, here are my comments cuz my thread didn't quite get made fast enough. I was literally screaming at the TV when Homer skewered him with his own guitar    
but when they got their revenge, I was cheering. Though I think I missed something. How does Homer get salvation in end for killing off music itself? 
I didn't like the Michael Jackson-ish voice they gave him 
But I  @
John Wayne: (at Prince) is that moustache coming or going? Prince: well ur wife likes it ...not celibate after all, huh?  [Edited 11/2/08 19:13pm] had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

unknown celeb: (at Prince) is that moustache coming or going? Prince: well ur wife likes it ...not celibate after all, huh? That was actually the ghost of Western film legend, John Wayne, that was talking to the ghost of Prince. Nonetheless it was hysterical.
Yeah, I didn't understand why they gave Prince a Jacko-like voice either.  They should've just gone with Prince's deep, quiet voice. But it's a cartoon, so what can you say?  [Edited 11/3/08 0:11am] NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

That was such a pissy rendition of Prince. If it wasn't for the gold symbol guitar, I'd never known it was him. The cartoon looked like Rick James to me!
 It was all wrong. They keep drawing Prince like it's 1984 and like he just rolled out of a tanning bed. He doesn't do the ruffled blouses anymore and he's not quite that dark. LOL. If you're gonna draw Prince, dammit, do it RIGHT!I love a Man who:

P needs to do a voice for the Simpsons, for real. He doesn't even have to do his own...Do something like the voice on "Chocolate" | |

The parody cracked me up. It was absolutely tacky.
The scariest thing I've seen this entire Halloween weekend is Dreamy calling John Wayne "an unknown celebrity".
 I'm firmly planted in denial | |

Yeah, they gotta draw P like he is, not like he was - people will still recognize him. Like in that pic with him n' Homer that's around here somewhere... anybody got it?
Also, the voice! I'm getting tired of people who don't know the difference 'tween Prince and Michael Jackson! BUT... I think P deserved this for his treatment of fans on the internet - I thought they could've gone further with it, between him and the 'Web Sheriff'!  |

He could pull a Dustin Hoffman and voice a one-off character that had nothing to do with him. I love that ep with Hoffman as Lisa's substitute teacher. Does anyone know what it's called? "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

His movies are cool though. If you like Cowboys and Indians and all that. My dad watches almost nothing but the western chanell, so maybe he brainwahsed me, though. | |

Last night was a fun episode. That is the public's general perception of Prince - a feminine grape. | |

I saw this last night and laughed my ass off.
Folks... it's the Simpsons.  It was funny that in this day and age, Prince is being portrayed at all! He's been around, y'all.
When Homer started killing him, me and the kids were screaming with laughter that he used his own  guitar!!!
Anyway... kudos to The Simpsons for yet another hilarious show! |

moderatorI was so mad Homer killed Prince that I got up and went into the kitchen claiming to never watch the Simpsons again. My husband and son actually apologized to me for having to see that. I only watched the Simpsons when my son comes over for dinner (quarterly). They called me back to see the angelic Prince right before the John Wayne conversation. It was funny though . | |

Now why in the flying hell didn't they use that image of Prince. I know that's Prince! Not that other Rick James looking thing. I was waiting for it to sing "Super Freak" or something!

All of you upset over Homer "killing" Prince need to settle down. It's just a cartoon. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

The worst part was that it wasn't very funny. It hurts to watch the Simpsons. It just isn't the same anymore.
