Okay, I have 2 cousins--ages 5 and 9--and they both like Prince and want to watch his videos when they come over to my house. So I have a few DVDs with Prince and I was wondering what VIDEOS would be age appropriate. I let the kids watch "Little Red Corvette" (and was asked why Prince wore high heels) and "Kiss" (asked why the woman in black wouldn't show her face)LOL. I know that Prince has made alot of racy videos and the girls do pay more attention to what he's DOING than SAYING. And I just want to share Prince with them without thier mom beating the hell outta me for showing them somethign they shouldn't see. LOL.

Thanks.

I'm sure there are many more, but that's all I can think of at the moment, I tried to pick some that had children in them, or were visually entertaining.

That video makes me so

The Muppet Show..hehe

I let my 3 yr old watch I Would Die For You because Prince is so animated that by the time the video is over, she's ready for a nap.

When I babysit, we watch ALL of the Prince videos!

Definetly!!!

Thanks for all the help.

Where do I get UTCM and SOTT? I have never seen them.

At Sexxydancer: All of Prince videos? Even the ones where he wears the bikini undies?

Show them the entire film "Grafitti Bridge" to show them the reality of life: that humans of their own accord create things so abominable and cringe inducing as to make "Gigli" seem a relative note of sanity, artistry and compassion in an otherwise cruelly uncreative world. "Grafitti Bridge": it shows kids that life sucks.

I know children of today are exposed to a lot more things than what most of us were exposed to 25+ years ago, but I don't know if her cousin would appreciate her showing a video of Prince crawling through the legs of 5 Vicki Vale's.

PurpleCharm said:

There's a edit verison of the same video on Yahoo Music (without the Vicki Vale part).

And BTW, kids will ask about the lyrics to ALL Prince songs!

TonyVanDam said:

Oh, ok. Cool.

I grew up watching all his videos.

oh please, it's not like Prince made porno videos. There's nothing wrong with ANY of the videos he made,

HoneymoonXpress said:

Go to YouTube to see the live video version of Head and then tell me if THAT nasty video is safe for kids!!!

guarinigirl2000 said:

Yep-even the bikinis! Most people wear'em,so I don't c what the crime is if kids see a pair!

TonyVanDam said:

I doubt she has that video laying anywhere around her house, though I'm sure whatever videos she has is ok

I wouldn't be rushing to show 'Automatic' to kids either.

kids really dont look into his lyrics very much, i mean one of my nephews favourite songs is HEAD! he has no idea its about gettin off, he literally thinks it has sumthin 2 do with ur head! and i mean the one on ur neck not the one downstairs hehe and my sister found out she didnt really care either way...but then again shes into burlesque stuff sooo thats really no suprise haha.
As for videos for kids
Scandalous, SOTT dvd would b good for them, When Doves Cry isnt to bad....except for the start where his in the bath but other than that its ok.
I cant remember any of the others ive seen. Cream wouldnt b a good one tho, as he bascially emulates sex with clothes on hehe, but hey thats P 4 ya!

PopeLeo said:

Oh hell no to THAT too!

TonyVanDam said:

oh PLEASE....kids watched videos like that 20 years ago...compared to what's out today, a video like Automatic is PG.

Just compare his videos to current ones they are allowed to see.

"Cream" is nothin'.

I have yet to see or hear any rap video of today with a S&M theme like Prince's Automatic.

Rap better get on that.

TonyVanDam said:

Automatic was S&M LITE, ok??? If Rap videos did S&M, it'd be the REAL THING, not some parodic send up....stop being such a damned prude
