Plectrum Electrum... Selling hamburgers?

I just saw a Carls Jr. commercial promoting their new Steakhouse Burger and what song is underscoring the ad? 'Plectrum Electrum'. Which is awesome for Prince as he is probably making a nice pay day, but seeing as he is a vegan it is rather odd that his music is selling processed meat.
As the saying goes: money talks and bulls***t walks.
I wish u heaven

Isn't that a composition by Donna? Maybe she doesn't mind a burger

Absolutely, you should be incensed, furious, livid, SHOCKED, diSguStEd, apPALLED. Let's quit Prince together -- you go first, please make sure you lock the door on your way out.

(Also let's quit Donna, it's her song).

I'm no longer shocked.

If it's the 3EG performance then I'm sure the Prince man

has had to sign off on it.

But maybe he'll use the money to give us the glorious HitnRun2 on cd.

That's long over, he's not a vegan anymore.

And that is the song in the commercial:

Okay, I'll take one strike off the board.

We won't have to hear Purple Rain under a maxi-pad commercial just yet...

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

He isn't vegan anymore apparently. He's either just veggie or gone back to eating meat. I remember reading on here somewhere that they were serving fish at Paisley once, so....

Just yet.... after over 35 years? I find it hilarious that people on the one hand have been saying for years he only wants to make money, but on the other he has not licensed his hits for commercials -- I remember LRC being used long ago, but that's about it.

The song playing in the background of this commercial does sound similar to PE, but it's actually the song "I'm Broken" by Pantera.

That's what I'm saying, darling, I'm proud of the Prince man.

Here in the Netherlands 'Cream' was used in a coffee creamer commerical.

(Not the original version.)

My mistake. I skimmed the thread twice before posting and didn't catch it.

He's a courteous lacto ovo vegetarian I guess. He didn't seem hungry at all for a Jell-O recipe because of the gelatin. lol Did you see that tweet?
