So why is it a big thing to hear a Prince song playing somewhere? It's not uncommon. Sure, it's a good thing but it feels like you're all talking about spotting UFO's.[/quote]
Funny you should mention that, The other night I was walking my dog in the Park and there was this bright orange light hovering in the Sky, This orange light started to move towards me and as it got closer I could hear a faint humming sound, as it hovered even closer to me the humming became an audible sound....It was Space..... 
Sorry.....  Considering how not long ago, Prince's songs weren't played at all...IT IS QUITE AN OTHERWOLDLY EXPERIENCE to be at Borders or some other place, and unexpectedly hear a Prince song and feel elated or whatever else. I agree, The UFO thing was a bad attempt at humour !!!! I have heard Prince many times in many different stores, Raspberry Beret is one of the most common ones I have heard. I always get a buzz out of hearing Prince songs if I am out anywhere  | |

I didn't notice it at first cause I was getting my eat on ya know...but my son recognized it immediately and yelled out, "Hey Mom, that's one of your songs...the raspberry one!" I looked at him and smiled and asked him, "Who's singing that song?" He just looked at me all serious and said, "It's Prince." I thought it was a cool moment. He knows Prince from the womb...and his b-day is JUNE 7. He loves 3121, especially LOVE and GET ON THE BOAT.
peace and blessings This same thing happened to me! Fuddruckers, yep! Must be a chain-wide thing.
I remembered another one...I heard Sign O' the Times once in...Hot Topic, of all places. lol... Hot Topic? Ha, that's strange. | |

I was stranded in a strange town not so long ago with no money,no phone and no car in the pouring rain. There was one solitary shop so I pretended to browse for as long as I could to waste time and suddenly Money don't matter 2nite came on the soundsystem,followed by Diamonds and Pearls and Kiss. It sounds stupid but it cheered me up and made me feel like Prince was with me in some way,because,as others have mentioned,we hardly ever hear his music in the UK. Time is a trick.... | |

I don't really mind the music they play in Hot Topic, I just have to be in the right mood to listen to it... | |

Maybe it's just me but I don't recall a period where Prince was not played. Perhaps it just the places I hang out/shop...but I'm always hearing him somewhere. And that's so not an attempt at humor...it's not even funny...that was my observation. Besides I've had my fair share of uncanny "Prince song" experiences. I just never considered hearing him as a "has this ever happened to you" moment. Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality? - Stupify | |

But, are you aware that many of the folks in this thread including myself, are stating in their posts that this is an uncommon experience for themselves?. | |

Party poop I was just having a bit of fun - asking if others on here felt like that when they hear him unexpectantly...It good to discuss nice things dontcha think?
