Have you ever been caught dancing and lip syncing to a Prince song? Like, "performing" it in front of a mirror or something? For some reason I thought about this earlier tonight.

When I was in the Navy, I had went to see SOTT movie in Philadelphia. Later, I bought the VHS. I had a VCR in my office on my ship. Sometimes, I'd go up there late at night to watch a video and hang out. I'd lock the office door, and dance around. (I even jerked off in there once.) Anyway, there was a space under the door where you could see someone standing outside. There was also a hole no bigger than the size of a pencil that you could peep through. I was totally rocking out to "Play In The Sunshine" and "Housequake" with a broom handle and a flashlight (for the microphone). I was doing turns and whatnot, having a ball. I turned around and saw a pair of boots standing at the door. I immediately freaked out, and pretended like a phone was ringing in the back of the office, and I went to answer it. I stayed "on the phone" for a few minutes, until whoever was at the door came in. It was an officer that was about as friendly as a tarantula. He never said a word about it, but I'm pretty sure he saw me. I remember glancing at the pencil hole in the door and seeing that it was dark, opposed to seeing light on the other side. He had to be peeking in on me for a while.

Another time, back in 1984, my mom had this white knitted shawl. I'd put it on and dance around to "I Would Die 4 U", and "Baby I'm A Star", as in the concert clips from the tour. Thankfully she never caught me wearing her shawl. Man, I used to turn around, and whip that thing off and fling it across the living room just like Prince.

When I was out of the Navy in 1989, I lived w/ my mom for a few months to get back on my feet as a civilian. I got it in me once to pull out her white fake fur coat and do "If I Was Your Girlfriend". hahaha My dad was a glass man, and we had mirrors all over the house. One living room wall had mirror from about a lower chair railing height, all the way to the ceiling. I'd move the coffee table, crank up the music, and the living room was now my rehearsal space.

The Navy was the only time I came close to being caught....but I'm pretty sure that officer saw me.

How about you?

I've lost count, Ernest. Most recently, when a friend of mine on imeem (gone too soon) posted and shared the video clip of Prince performing Baby Knows live on a tv show in the UK, I believe. The man makes me wanna dance! My best friend had come over that day and she and my husband just had to tough it out cause my butt was goin' round n' round right along with Prince! You folks just use your imaginations and enjoy the visuals in your mind... .

I suppose I wasn't "caught". I pretty much put on a show,(ahem),so to speak. lmao

I thought you were asking if people have ever been caught jerking off! I was wondering for a sec how this is relevant in the Prince Music and More forum

I guess it comes under the 'and More' part of the Prince Music and More forum

Ernest with a couple of edits you could send this into Playboy forums or Playgirl forums

Watching you through a key hole dancing huh? I think there are websites all about this topic

That story was too funny Ernest. Just be glad the officer didn't catch you when you were masturbating. That may have been even more embarassing.

Surprisingly, I've only been caught once. My sister walked in on me singing Scandalous a long time ago. She thought it was the funniest thing. She begged me to finish the song. I eventually obliged and hammed it up. However, I didn't do it with the same gusto I had before she walked in.

Yes, about a month ago while pumping gas at the Shell station one of the Lotusflow3r jams came on, I started playing air guitar and lip syncing. Three little boys (apx. 10-13 yrs) were walking toward my direction and as they were closer I could see they were smiling and watching me I said to them "that's real guitar playing...Prince" just then the little one in the middle started playing his air guitar and the other two just bopped their little heads with the biggest grins on their faces, it was priceless. They kept walking, the pump stopped, I got in my car and rocked down the highway. I can still see that little boy's face...sometimes I just thank God for the sweet little things 'cause they mean so much and last so long.

it's reassuring to know instead of defending your country you were pretending to be prince and your superior was happy to stand and watch ya
just kidding, thanks for sharing your shawl swinging, furcoat wearing, officer pervbing stories!
the best i can share is only the other day i was doing some ironing clad in thong and stockings belting out partyup and losing myself in a swirl of purpleness and after playing guitar with a pair of jeans, using the ironing board as a keyboard i realised the dustman had seen me through the back window. i think he'd been there a while, cheeky fucker

A few years ago I was dancing. doing tripple spins and splits to "when u love somebody". when my stepfather walked in and looked at like I was a freak.

Of course! The best times are when my kids are with me. They get mortified, LOL.

I give entire Gold Experience concerts with my imaginary band in my music room. The stage ends where my red carpet ends, down there are the masses.

I don't make any money with it, though, it's all for free!

When I was a kid, I used a tennis racket to act out "Let's Go Crazy" in front of my mirror. I had every move down. I used to make my little brother be Wendy on another tennis racket. haha

Lucky guy - that sounds hot!

The amount of times that I've been caught singing and dancing to Prince are ridiculous...

When I got the Diamonds & Pearls compilation for the first time, I popped the VHS in, and got SO INTO IT. I was dancing around with a hairbrush "mic" and singing into it in front of my mirror... only to have my grandmother walk in, wondering wtf I'm doing at like 5 a.m. She shook her head, called me "Warped", and walked away.

Another time I was caught singing rather... loudly... in my first apartment. I believe it was "Baby I'm A Star" and my ex-boyfriend walked in... and laughed at me. -sigh- What ever happened to knocking?

My stepfather caught me doing the "I Would Die 4 U" dance... but he thinks I'm a freak anyway, so I can live with it, lol.

When 3121 came out, a friend and I got this grand idea to blast it, IN PUBLIC, at like 10 at night... on the green... in a gazeebo... and dance... for the world to hear/see. That wasn't so "caught" as much as shameless bliss.

Haha, I posted this guy in another thread... I actually think he's filthy cute.

Acrylic said:

Yeah, and you know a fan like that is gotta be on the org somewhere.....

mostbeautifulboy said:

is it you then?

Whenever I hear "The Bird," I HAVE to do the chili sauce. It's pretty much a requirement. I also try (keyword) to hit a full split when I hear the beginning of "Housequake"
