Prince Songs at Sporting Events So I just got back from a professional sporting event and was excited to hear "Jungle Love" and "Gett Off" all in the same night (Kevin Smith was there, they played JL for him). It made me realize I hardly ever hear P songs or P associate songs at such events (unless you count the "Jump Around" sample). Anyways, what Prince/Prince associate/Prince penned songs do you tend to hear at the game? Personally, I can recall JL, GttO, "1999," "Chelsea Rodgers," "Manic Monday," and probably "When Doves Cry" at some point and not much else.
Btw it was a hockey game. Edmonton Oilers shut out Phoenix 4-0. I know what you're thinking and yes there actually is a hockey team in Phoenix. Damon Dickson: Is it hair, a hat, or a dead cat? | |

Funny you should mention this as I was at a Professional Bull Riding event in Vegas two weeks ago for work (we are sponsors) and I was surprised to hear them play Kiss and You Got The Look and the fans were loving it!it helped that their main entertainment between bulls is a hilarious clown entertainer Flint Rasmussen that dances super funky for a white guy!!! Quite entertaining! He did a moonback tribute to MJ too and he is super funny! The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

I was watching a Raiders game this season and heard "Guitar" playing in the stadium. Must say I was surprised. | |

Back when the Houston Rockets won the NBA championship two years in a row, they'd play Prince stuff several times during the games.
I am convinced that played a part in their success. | |

Funny...I'm a big time LA Dodgers fan and one day this past season I was listening to the game on the radio. As they went to commercial the intro to "She's Always In My Hair" was played, and when they came back it was the intro to "17 Days". I flipped! I dunno...it was just wierd to hear the great Vin Scully say "At the end of 4, Dodgers 2 Braves 1" with Prince playing in the background.
I think I heard 1999 at a baseball game before and not sure if it counts but "The Birdman" Koko b Ware used to come to the ring to "The Bird" back in the 80s WWF! | |

Whenever the smooch cam (aka kiss cam) comes on, I'm always disappointed they don't play "Kiss." It would just be so awesome but the one in my town is sponsored by a country station so no such luck. Damon Dickson: Is it hair, a hat, or a dead cat? | |
