A marvelous song. He wore the flannel, he attempted stage dives, but Prince never really got grunge did he. He was still channeling his gangster glam, typhoon and starting on his finger waves. I love the coat. A progression from his Christopher Tracey and Sign O the times coats. | |

Just been having a flick through the videos on the channel - checking out the number of views, for curiosity's sake - noticed there is no Purple Rain video on there...would anyone know why, or am I missing something? | |

This is a great song! Another one I used to do at karaoke. | |

The thing I love about the song itself is the mistake in it. Near the end, during the "na na na naaa na naaa" chants, there's a break in the song. The band seems to stop for a couple of beats, then comes back on the downbeat. It was actually a boo-boo on Michael B's. part. While the band was recording the song in the studio, Michael was playing so hard that his headphones fell off the back of his head. He quickly reached behind, put them back on and returned playing. There was supposed to be a fill bu,t instead, there was nothing from the drummer. That pause in the song wasn't meant to be, but Prince liked it so much, he left it in. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you don't have my number, you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. | |

Always annoyed me that this song stalled at number 44...it should have been a MUCH bigger hit. Such a great tune. | |

It just seems such a natural pause. That's a cool story. | |

This song is one of Prince's most beautiful, comforting, and hopeful songs to me. So clear, so beautifully arranged. The vocals and music sound blended so well together. I also love how he just starts the song from 0 to 60, no lead in music, just "go time". [Edited 9/30/17 19:00pm] | |

I don't think this was a good choice for a single.I can see why it didn't really catch on with the record-buying public. | |

About swooning an underage girl. "That's why he had to wait". 😜 | |

People wore flannel before grunge came along and people staged dived before grunge came along. | |

Let's be honest, it's more of a piano jump than a stage dive...with regards the flannel, I see this more of a nod to lumberjacks than grunge...perhaps Prince was acknowledging his love of Michael Palin? | |

--He was from a blue-college Midwestern family I am sure he wore flannel. We have seen pics recently of him in street clothes he just did not let himself be photographed wearing regular stuff. [Edited 10/1/17 18:41pm] | |

I have always viewed the flannel as a definite nod to the 'Sign of the Times' of when this song came out, so i completely agree Robert. But he tweeked the outfit to be more...Princified. I love it Dance where y'are, just groove y'all.

Exactly! Defnitely reference to the trends at the time. Because if maybe he was truly INTO flannel at the time, we'd see it in other videos from the same album. Smlar to how vids from Lovesexy look obvious for that album, or D&P, or Musicology or any of them really Dance where y'are, just groove y'all.
