What's the most bizarre / unlikely place where you have heard Prince music?

I've got 2:

Yesterday I was in Morrisons supermarket and heard 'Sweet Thing'. I just stopped dead in the aisle - couldn't beleive my ears.

A couple of years ago I was in North India, in a very non tourist place called Ludhiana. I went to the local market area and heard 'You got the Look' blaring from a shop doorway. Amongst all the bangra and traditional Indian music, it was very bizarre.

On the golf course. I was coming up on the 9th green and there was a car sitting at a stoplight not far away, playing "Raspberry Beret."

So I pretended I was André Crabtree III and sank the putt.

My dads house.

while waiting for a patient last week both purple rain and let's go crazy came on the hospital radio within ten minutes of each other

Just this week , in a VERY trendy clothing store I heard half (the uptempo songs)of the 3121 album being played in a row....

Twice in Maplin, an electronics specialist shop I've heard tracks from the Come Album.

Was tempted to see if Orgasm was played as well!!

Did you hear they played "Delirious" when going to a commercial during the third quarter of the Vikings/Packers game last night?????

But seriously, this isn't weird but it fits in this thread: When the Houston Rockets won the NBA title in 1994, during that season they played TONS of Prince in the arena during breaks in the game.

Same with 1995, and the Rockets won that title, too.

But not so much since then. And the Rockets haven't won a title since 1995.

COINCIDENCE?!?!?

Sweet Thing??? A live Prince version or Chaka Kahn?

Do Me baby...at McDonald's... but the edited version ofc! HAHAH the ending - NOT included. and this is a true story, I was like WTF? they usually play like "kiss" or "purple rain" but DO ME BABY ?

but the good part of this was that I was there with a friend, and she never liked prince cuz she thought he was weird n nasty n all that shit.. (fuck her) so when she heard do me baby she was like: THAT'S PRINCE?! now she can't stop listening 2 that song -.-

so yay I made her like prince well not me, McDonalds did

Heard When You Were Mine at a supermarket.

Heard Rock Hard in a Funky Place in a Walmart bathroom

I heard compassion on the dutch tv this summer, when they where announcing new Grey's Anatomy episodes...

Was this near Oxford street cause I was in a Maplins around there and they were playing the Come album.... I was suprised when I walked in and heard Pheremone

Black Sweat at a local shopping mall and the video on the monitors set up all over the place.

I was dragged to Old Navy with my sister a few weeks ago and couldnt wait for her to finish up when Starfish and Coffee came on---I didnt mind the store so much after that

i was at the mall yesterday and went in the halloween store. i was about to leave and 1999 came on. so i had to stay and lurk around till it was over mouthing the words. i had on my purple leopard print blazer with the similar shape/structure to a prince one and i was experimenting with my crimping iron too. oh yeah and bright dark pink tights!!!!

made it modern with my johnny knoxville jackass shirt though. ha!

The most unlikely place was Tacobell. The song was Future Baby Mama. It actually made my day

oh i forgot i worked at ross dress for less for over 4 yrs and they played

what do u want me 2 do and raspberry beret twice a day! and had a spring in my step and would mouth the words every time! i loved the volume control in my room processing the $ and stuff. that bitch be at 10 every time!

they also played magnificent by u2. otherwise most of the songs were terrible. they had hey jude covered by a spanish band. i hated the original imagine a salsa dancing merguine dancie version!

I've heard several different Prince songs playing in my local grocery store, Publix and I just stopped, listened and smiled. Also, this past Saturday when finishing the "Making Strides - Breast Cancer Walk" at Atlantic Station in Atlanta, GA...they were blasting "KISS" at the finish line!

Last weekend I heard 'Endorphinmachine' at a male strip show I got more excited about the song than the guy on stage.

ha! like the one i went to in vegas. male butterfaces they aren't the ones from the billboard. i wanna check one out at atlantic city or the cave in philly. prince has tons of great songs i could imagine someone would strip too!

Once i heard "Days Of Wild" inside a girl's vagina. I was about 2 do her with my tongue and heard a strange noise coming from inside, so i put my ear closer and that was "DOW" playing. I'll never know how it happened 4 sure, but that's a bizarre/unlikely place 2 hear Prince music...
