That British zombie movie where they throw Prince records at the zombies in order to kill them.

also the movie striptease features a prince song
a cheech and chong movie has delirious as they eat a marijuana salad
and one of the rush hours starts of with chris tucker singing along to 'do me baby' .. it was hilarious n took me by complete suprise!

Yeah, but that got censored right after. I have two versions on VHS and the second version uses a "Delirious" knock off called "Twisted". Very similar in melody but totally different song and, of course, not a Prince song.

oh crap
looks like i'm going to have to borrow my mates and copy it for myself then, cause i probably won't be finding the version with delirious in the stores =(

My all time favorite (this may not categorize as pop culture tho) ---
Happy feet!
Where Mumble goes back home and finds his dad and they start groovin to "Kiss"...
freeeeekin awesome!

the white rapper?


are you not allowed to say his name?

Dan Brown mentions his symbol in one of his books, "Angels and Demons" or "The Da Vinci Code". I think it was the former. Does anyone know which one for sure?

I remember laughing my ass off at a Prince appearance on Animaniacs. Yakko is playing a detective, and he says something about "dusting for prints." A minute later, his sister Dot pops up and says, "Yakko, look, I found Prince!" and she's literally holding up Prince like he's a sack of flour or something. Yakko says, "No, FINGERprints!" and Dot looks at Prince and goes, "Ew, I don't think so" and throws him out the window.

Ah, found it. http://www.youtube.com/wa...xmAC9Qu908

It would have been Angels and Demons as i have read The Da Vinci Code and saw no such reference.

Of course there is the scene from n'Pretty Woman' where Julia Roberts sings 'Kiss' in the bathtub.
And wasn't there an 'X Files' episode where Mulder refers to 'Soft And Wet'..?

I used to watch this,but never saw this one.

The film Unbreakable, when the wife answers the "what's your favourite song" question with Soft and Wet.

Lenny Henry certainly seems to enjoy mentioning him in his stand up routines.

Wasnt "gett off" in the PS I love you movie?

The movie Showgirls ...319 and rippopgodazippa (sp)

Ice Cube's movie with the kids what was it called? It had "I Wanna Be Your Lover" playing in the opening.

Yeah, it was angels and demons, I can't really remember what is said about it though...

Sdldawn said:

not worth mentioning for obvious reasons

There were at least 3 references to Prince on the Golden Girls.

Purple Rain was referenced on King of Queens.

Corey Feldman wore a Purple Rain t-shirt on the Goonies.

I will try to think of more.
