Prince in Justify My Love parody!

In late 1990 or early 1991 I've seen a Justify My Love parody on MTV! It was featuring Madonna herself, Mike Myers (as Wayne), Dana Carvey (as Garth) and PRINCE! eek
All that I can remember is that Madonna was lying in a big bed while "Wayne & Garth" repeated this line: "We're not worth it, we're not worth it..." and PRINCE did some stupid "girlish" moves in the door - he looked like just the Kid in Graffiti Bridge! The whole thing was in black & white.
Can anybody tell me WHAT THE HELL was that? biggrin
It wasn't a dream, and I didn't take an E-pill - I swear the God! pray
By the way this is my first thread so You Guys have got to be nice! lol

It's from Saturday Night Live when Madonna appeared. Yes, the whole thing is a parody of the "Justify My Love" video (the song was written by Lenny Kravitz and Ingrid Chavez). And it wasn't really Prince... just some guy who looked like him. Mike Myers is making out with Madonna and sees this Prince guy out of one eye and has to stop and ask, "What? Isn't that Prince?" And the crowd cracks up. Then he goes back to making out with Madonna again.

I didn't know Ingrid co-wrote that song. Was there ever anything between her and Lenny? She's an interesting lady... I had completely forgotten about her until I heard her singing on one of David Sylvan's album from 1999.
Change it one more time..

I know someone here knows more about it than I do, but I believe Lenny was dating Ingrid at the time, but when he gave the song to Madonna (said it was a #1 hit, which it was) he failed to give Ingrid credit (who originally sang the song as well), and this caused a rift between her and Lenny. VH-1 has reported that Lenny wrote this song for/with his lover at the time, Madonna -- which is wrong.

I thought it was hilarious also because I remember seeing the real video thinking prince would show up in it.

That was funny that they thought the same thing as if prince will be in anything dealing with sex.

If you really listen to the song it sounds like an "answer" to I WANT TO BE YOUR LOVER. That's what I first thought when I heard the song.

What do you gals/guys think?

Okay,I have a stupid question.Is that the same Ingrid Chavez who was in Graffiti Bridge? If it's the same Ingrid Chavez, wasn't she a singer and dancer for Madonna and part of the Blonde Ambition tour? I would say that it is a definite step up from Graffiti Bridge or did the Blonde Ambition tour come first? In that case, it would be a step down.

I belive that Public Enemy got Mr. Kravitz/Madonna in hot water as well. It was PE's beat that Lenny jacked for Justify My Love (just slowed down a bit).
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
