Oh, that's old, that's from 2004 when Mel Gibson had his controversial biblical film out and P performed Musicology.

I'll never forget watching this! It was the first time I'd heard the song "Musicology" and it was really Prince "coming out" for the first time since the ONA tour. Remember, this was after a tour that was heavy on his new religious (and quasi-political) views, very little dancing or loosening up. Then came an instrumental album and a bunch of one-off appearances at which he played guitar but did no singing. Remember all the rumors of "OMG Prince will never sing again!" "OMG Prince has cancer in his vocal chords!" et cetera.

Then came the Jay Leno performance. I was looking forward to it like crazy. I nearly pissed on myself when he not only blew us away with a great new song, but was smiling, dancing and full of energy. Not to mention the Lucite heels with embedded neon lights! Holy shit, there he was in all his glory, 'bout to wreck shop and kick my ass and yours all over again. When he finished up, danced over to the couch, looked right at Mel Gibson and said, "Mel Gibson!! What's shakin', baby??" I think I screamed in hysterical and delirious laughter. I couldn't believe it. And yeah, Mel's expression and reaction were absolutely priceless. Classic, classic moment. Even better than the assless pants.

I'm not sure if Mel got P's humor when he asked him if "He wanted to go see a movie?" Tried to joke with Mel about how dominant his movie was at the time.

I like Mel. It was a fun interview.

I don't think Mel was meant to get it. Prince was poking fun at him. It was a "wrecka stow" moment, if you will.

And it was awesome.
