1) Whats with lady swimming around in the giant fish tank?
2) What the heck is Partyman pouring in the tank, right on the poor lady's face, that he also takes a swig of? 3) And why does the crowd go crazy trying to dunk their champagne glasses in the tank with the lady swimming around in it, so they can drink the water after Partman pours whatever that stuff was in it????? | |

But it has been a few years since I have seen it. I believe U R right. Practically certain. It's just that it's a quick "riff" if U will....lol. It's a short segment of the melody. It allows for misinterpretation. plus it is just a whistle...and not even a good one. Prince needs to leave the whistling to Otis. | |

Cause at the end of Partyman, it says, "This aint over yet.." | |

[Edited 5/18/10 18:22pm] he switches bottles. he drinks then he pours stuff in the tank. 2 bottles. He takes out the bottle shows it to the people drinks from it then it cuts to the people and then back to prince who's hand in in his pocket out of which he pulls a bottle which he pours into the tank. He switched. *he also stole some money from the wad of cash Mary had in UTCM* "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" |

He switched. Ok, now ive been watching this critical scene very, very carefully. I do not see any see switch happening at all. Seems to be more of a clumsy error in editing. Partyman holds the littl bottle high for all to see, then takes a quick swig, before he can finish singing the lyric, "no place in this nation", with the bottle in his hand,...AND while putting the cap back on. The camera then cuts to the crowd, and we see Partyman with his hand in his inside jacket pocket, pulling out the bottle again. Now technically, you do not see Partyman switching anything. Would it be possible that he was immune to the effects of the drink? Or that perhaps he took an antedote for it before he walked into the party?? | |

but I guess it could be a bad editing. But switching bottles is a better plot device. "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" |

Everyone dies at the end. It's obviously poison, and alluring to the weak-minded party goers. | |

He whistles 'arms of orion, that's where I want to be...'
He also plays the character of 'Gemini' (NB His star sign) in Batdance. The switch of bottles is more implied than shown... The full extended version of the video is also viewable... This is what it's like in the dream factory... |
