Beautiful Strange

Which album is this song from or is it a bootleg??? I watched the clip of him in the studio singing this. Then he's interrupted by a phone call ( too cute when he exhales like a ten year old in frustration). I can't get this song out of my head. He sings it beautifully. I'm famming today!

that original version, which is in the video hasn't been released on an
official cd or single.

an alternate, more guitar heavy and more weird tripped out version of it
was releases on the remix album "Rave IN2 The Joy Fantastic"
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I heard about the video. I have tried to find it to watch, but can't find it. I would also like to hear the song in its entirety too. So if you hear anything, please let me know.
God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other. Something is spoken, then followed by an action. That is

I think that is from "The Undertaker" it was a Japanese laserdisc, widely booted in the states.

Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

This isn't really connected to the song 'Beautiful Strange', though.

You're correct. I stand corrected. In my mind I can see that song in the Undertaker video for some reason. Sorry for the mis-info!

Originally released on the home-video Beautiful Strange in 1998. It includes an interview with Prince, hosted by Mel B (of the Spice Girls), the promo video for "Beautiful Strange" plus live footage from a London aftershow in August 1998.



The footage of him playing the song in the studio comes from the beginning of the video, and the phone call is when Mel B supposedly arrives (though it looks quite staged if you ask me!).

A later version with a more piercing guitar solo was released on Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic, a remix album of Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, available only from the NPGMC c.2000/01.

He has done a number of awesome live versions of this song, mostly at aftershows or soundchecks mostly for ONA. One of his best songs from the last decade.

His voice just seems haunting to me and that's what's stuck in my head. I don't have the song so the only time I can listen to it is on my computer.
