Even though when I first watched this scene I was close 2 tears, the little back shimmy he did was funny.

I'll admit it,I cried,a few times.

I seriously did not (and still don't) think that he had 2 die in that movie!

Just kidding/not really.

This is one of my favorite scenes, this is Prince, love the piano playing the flirting, the look

Once upon a time in France

there lived a bad boy name Christopher Tracey

Only 1 thing mattered 2 Christopher... money

the women he knew came in all sizes shapes & colors

and they were all rich, very rich

Private concertos kind words & fun is what he had 2 offer them

yes Christopher lived 4 all women

but he died 4 1

Somewhere along the way he learned the true meaning of love

An Honest Man

I want 2 be an honest man
I'll be your slave, just understand
How much I need U
And if I died
We'll be 2gether side by side

With U I know I can stand, stand
With U I can be an honest man

Once upon a time in a land called Fantasy
17 mountains stood so high
The sea surrounded them and together they would be
The only thing that ever made u cry
U said the devil told u that another mountain would appear
Everytime somebody broke your heart
He said the sea would 1 day overflow with all your tears,
And love will always leave u lonely

I swear he had the best bod during this era! How do u get abs like that?!?!?!?!

I am nothing without your touch my love

I am nothing without your kiss

2 spend each night

in your arms, my flower

Is this man's idea of bliss

2 not hear your voice each day

Is 2 die 7 times by God's wrath

If I was anything other than human

I'd be the water in your bath

Till then, my love, ciao

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

Maybe we can play 2day
Vous êtes très belle, girls and boys

U were on the other end of the room

U were dancing so hard I could smell your perfume

Your smile tells me that we should talk...

On the dance floor, baby

Make that call 4 me

Oh yes, baby - sex and rest

And U won't resist it

U know U'll like that, baby, oh ow!

I will wrap my legs around U, baby

4 hours and hours I want 2 amaze U, baby

Flowers in your bath, love in your sheets

Make love, make love - where will we meet?

I'll admit as a teenager, no matter how many times I watched this movie, i always, always cried when he died. just broke my heart. Now as an adult, the first time I watched it, after not seeing it for a very long time, when he dies, I laugh and go that Prince is a damn fool. This movie was and is a great movie and Parade is one of the few albums I can listen to from beginning to end. Just love it!!

One if not my favorite Era for Prince & The Revolution. Great thread as always OF4S ...

Welcome, this is where I live
This is where I dream my dreams
2night we'll make love until the world stops turning
U're small but very strong
U move like a cat: quickly but gentle
So insane
He caressed her in her eyes and licked her abdomen
She shivered with delight
Over and over she nibbled his ear
U'd think it was wrong 2 have so much fun
He held her tightly until it almost hurt
But his hips, they moved so slowly
She wanted 2 stop breathing
U can feel every curve of her womanhood
U can see every thought in his brain
A submarine slowly moves through the virgin sea
Oh so slowly
She wants 2 stop breathing
U... U can feel every curve

She squeezes tighter as the submarine goes deeper in depth
Into the unnavigated territory
A smile, ever so slight, appears on his face as she starts 2 cry
Until they come, 2gether, slowly
They wish 4 somethin', as if they could see a parallel future in the sea
They do not speak
They only stare out the moment in time

Maybe we can play 2day
Vous êtes très belle, girls and boys

Vous étiez de l'autre côté de la salle

Vous dansiez si fort je sentais votre parfum

Votre sourire me dit que nous devrions nous parler...

Sur la piste de dance, baby

Fais cet appel pour moi

Oh oui, baby - sexe et repos

Et ne résistez pas

Vous savez que vous aimerez ca, baby, oh ouah

Je vous enlacerai avec mes jambes, baby

Pendant des heures je veux vous étonner, baby

Fleurs dans votre bain, amour dans vos draps

Faire l'amour, faire l'amour - où nous rencontrerons-nous?

some very good poetic pieces in the music during this time period

Everyone should come and dig Christopher Tracy's piano
The chord strikes, the devil no like, so he runs 2 his evil car ♥

Venus de Milo

Aphrodite of Milos

Ἀφροδίτη τῆς Μήλου

Aphroditē tēs Mēlou

An ancient Greek statue and one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture. Created at some time between 130 and 100 BC, it is believed to depict Aphrodite (Venus to the Romans) the Greek goddess of love and beauty. It is a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life size at 203 cm (6 ft 8 in) high. Its arms and original plinth have been lost. From an inscription that was on its plinth, it is thought to be the work of Alexandros of Antioch; it was earlier mistakenly attributed to the master sculptor Praxiteles. It is currently on permanent display at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Moreover, the sensuous juxtaposition of flesh with the texture of drapery, which seems about to slip off the figure, adds an insistent note of erotic tension that is thoroughly Hellenistic in concept and intent.

Although Venus De Milo had existed for a few years as an untitled piano instrumental, initial tracking in the studio only took place in mid-July, 1985 at the Washington Avenue Warehouse, Eden Prairie, MN, USA (during the same set of sessions as Neon Telephone, Do U Lie? and Alexa De Paris). Clare Fischer arranged and recorded orchestration for the song at some point in mid-late 1985 at Monterey Sound Studios, Glendale, CA, USA.

The Aphrodite of Milos was discovered by a peasant named Yorgos Kentrotas on April 8, 1820, inside a buried niche within the ancient city ruins of Milos, the current village of Tripiti, on the Aegean island of Milos (also Melos, or Milo).The statue was found in two main pieces (the upper torso and the lower draped legs) along with several herms (pillars topped with heads), fragments of the upper left arm and left hand holding an apple, and an inscribed plinth. Olivier Voutier, a French naval officer, was exploring the island. With the help of the young farmer, Voutier began to dig around what were clearly ancient ruins. Within a few hours Voutier had uncovered Venus de Milo.

About ten days later, another French naval officer, Jules Dumont d'Urville, recognized its significance and arranged for a purchase by the French ambassador to Turkey, Charles-François de Riffardeau, marquis, later duc de Rivière.

In the year 1985 Prince Rogers Nelson of Minneapolis Minn USA created an instrumental piece called Venus de Milo. It was song number 7 side 1 on the Prince the Revolution album Parade and in the movie Under the Cherry Moon scene 28. features the piece Venus De Milo (Christopher & Mary kissing in the Phone booth) & scene 38.

November 1985: Nice, France

p 94

chapter 7

Possessed: the Rise & Fall of Prince

Back in France, the shooting of Under the shooting of Under the Cherry Moon limped to a close

On the set in Nice, Prince seemed conflicted about Christopher Tracy, the character he had created for himself to play in the film. This charismatic, sexy, and somewhat snide piano player was hardly a sympathetic figure, and Prince's plan all along had been for Tracy to die at the end of the film, representing his own symbolic transcendence of these character flaws. But Warner Bros. preferring (as film studios invariably do) a happy ending, pshed him to conclude with Tracy reforming and heading off into the sunset with lover interest Mary (Scott-Thomas).

The alternative ending was shot, and publicist Howard Bloom, viewing a cut of the film where Tracy survives, found himself believing in the character's redemptive journey. "Warner Bros. insisted on him getting the girl at the end, and it really worked," Bloom remembered. "This little asshole character that was so hard to identify with, you bonded with by the end."

But Prince favored the original ending. In the final cut, Tracy died (the victim of an assassination) with the result, in Bloom's view, that any meaning in the film was also destroyed.
