exactly this won't be Nicole Kidman singing the song it will be Nicole as a "Marilyn-inspired mom" animated penguin singing the song so hopefully it will come across cute (there's that word again) even if the singing voice isn't perfect.

was this written by prince?

Love it!, Love it!, Love it.... I can see why some are saying its a cute song, because it is a cute song and so perfect 4 the movie. I truly hope its the lead song. It's a must have Prince song and I'm truly proud 2 be a Prince Fan Forever

VERY NICE SONG..... COMPLIMENTS PRINCE

Blech. That's even worse! Nicole as Marilyn. I love Marilyn and can't stand Nicole Kidman.

(i'm a generally bad mood today...sorry!)

Any word on a video?

I like it!!! It's funky, laid back, soulful classic Prince!!!

Where is this quote from? Can you post a link?

I saw the trailer for this before I even knew if Prince having a song on the soundtrack. I thought it was the most imaginative thing I've seen in a long time with regard to animated movies. Hearing this song, it's pretty easy to see how well it will fit into the movie if you've seen the trailer.

Fun groove, upbeat lyrics...I can see the penguins grooving to this quite easily.

Me like it a lot!!!

you did see the link on the very first post of this thread, didn't you?

Great little song. This one and SST deserved to be on an album.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Yeah, but it tells me there is some kind of problem when I press listen to it now.

Are there any other links?

Shorty said:

The problem with NK doing Marilyn inspired is that she'll do it in such a way as to perpetuate the stereotype of Marilyn as nothing more than a dumb blonde, which she wasn't. (Firstly MM wasn't blonde & she wasn't a terribly bad comedic actor, but I digress.)

Yes, I've seen the trailer. That fat little penguin rapping to The Message? Appalling.


I will admit that the MUSIC for P's song is nice--not funky, not "the jam", not tight--just nice...but that's it...you can't make me say it's cute. I'll never do it!

BTW, I thought of another animated character I like: The Grinch!

Try selecting broadband instead of dial up...it worked for me when I did that.

updated the lyrics based on another listen through and from input from org member el capitan.

Thank you brother.

"•A Prince is charmed Hugh Jackman, as Mumble's Elvis-inflected dad Memphis, and Nicole Kidman, as his Marilyn-inspired mom Norma Jean, perform Prince's Kiss. But Miller wanted to change a lyric or two, and had to ask permission. "We got a denial. Prince said no." But then Warner Bros. decided to show His Purpleness the movie. "Not only did he allow us to change the lyrics," Miller says, but "he said, 'I want to write a song.' It inspired him.""

I wonder is Prince or WB would ever consider working together again????? It wouldn't be the same...P wouldn't own the joint like he did in the late 80's or early 90's but...I wonder....

Just think P's value now after Musicology compared to Emacipation or Rave
(I kno he go $10 and $11 mil for those albums but folks got let go or got looked at crazy after doing it).I remember reading somewhere when P was looking for a company for Eamncipation and Russell Simons said "I wouldn't pay $500,000.00 for his contract...I thought that was weird??? I wonder now what people are willing to pay?

I luv u serpan99, u always have the best avatars and also give us the most beautiful pictures of Prince. The photo is simply beautiful.

jone70 said:

oohh come on now! You are FAR too serious you're makin' a whole lotta assumptions about what nicole will do with her PENGUIN version of marilyn...penguin version...and it's a role in the movie...if it's written to perpetuate the old dumb blond stereotype, then that's just the way it is...Aye-yay-yay! There's more trailers than just that one...try checkin' out a few more...
you're a tough egg to crack! cranky pants!
