I've always thought that Prince has had a great sense of humor and that even in his most serious songs he's been able to make me crack up * the moaning at the start of When Doves Cry cracked me up when I was a 9 year old listening to the song for the first time* But what are your favorite funny random Prince moments in his music? One of my favorites is when he isn't really trying to be funny, kinda like in Now when he starts streaming the lyrics and after he screams now you hear him start panting really loud before screaming again. Just the sound he makes while he's panting is hilarious to me. There's a ton of funny moments that come to mind like the ending of Musicology when he's telling people to stop touching his stereo and Face Down is an awesome song thats also funny because of how derpy it is (Like when he calls out to the orchestra and then a sampled orchestra starts playing) or the intro Mr. Happy with his derpy voice. What are your favorite funny Prince moments in his songs?

Movie Star is a good one. Also some of the Time's songs he wrote.

The cough is Rasberry Beret is pretty innovative for it's time, not that funny, but different!

'Collean Bacon Skin' - never heard of it, but sounds interesting!

Where is this from?

I have no idea what derpy means!

But as for funny moments, "well, maybe not the ride", always raises a smile.

Derpy kinda means like goofy or awkward

Collean Bacon Skin is from Crystal Ball. By the way I'm pretty sure it isn't Collean Bacon Skin but rather Cloreen Bacon Skin. I just checked iTunes and that's what it read for me.

"Some people tell me I've got great legs. Now why on earth would you make me beg?" (That is a paraphrase.)

"Why you want to break lil' Prince's heart?" Said with such gentle mocking on One Night Alone.

"Would you run to me when someone hurts you, even if that someone was me?" If I was Your Girlfriend is ominous and funny.

And anything Scarlet Pussy. That is a given.

4 some reason I also find Tambourine painfully funny [Edited 7/1/12 15:02pm]

Oh I find that song hilarious. I think it has to do with that whistling sound in the background of the song.

You kidding me!?

Prince is good, but not THAT good.

Clearing throats before song. Est. 1960's

I remember some video where Prince is disguised as an old man and at the end of the video he says to two women (I think one looks like Mani) "I got the butter for your muffin, I just don't have a knife".

I also think it's funny when he talks about how long it takes for him to do his hair in the song "Mellow"....I think

The way Prince sings "she used to giggle the same giggle that you do" in Condition Of The Heart.

Omg! I think thats the video for 'Come On' from New Power Soul! I saw snippets of that video on his TV Interview He's The One which was from that era while I was searching the web recently! That video actually seems really cool, I wanna find it.

Slammin' ( the look on P's face when he says this in the vidoe 'U Got The Look')

Did I say an hour? My face is red. I stand corrected (the cheeky Camille voice)

Do Me Baby (So what r u going 2 do? You just going 2 sit there and watch..? Well okay, I ain't gonna stop until the war is over).

Dinner with Delores (Like a brontosaurus, she was packing it in).

He is very comedic. A lot of his facial expressions and body language crack me up. The live versions of forever in my life and you've got the look immediately come to mind. He would have been great in silent films.

i'm sure you're quite intelligent, a whiz at math and all that shit

but i'm, i'm a tad more interested in flying your kite tonight, cindy is that alright?

Oh my gosh that would have been epic. I can kinda already imagine Under The Cherry Moon as a silent movie since Prince and Jerome constantly use facial expressions to portray emotion. *Opens Sony Vegas and re-edits Under The Cherry Moon into a Silent Film*

I feel so c-c-c-c-c-c-c-coooooolllld.... hold me.

That's a 50 dollar bill
When's the last time U seen one of them?
That's what I thought
Let me tell U somethin'
When me and U used 2 be... me and U used 2 be 2gether
I didn't have no money in my pocket
That's all different now, that's all different
Now U wanna play, now U wanna play crazy
U're not crazy
U're no crazier than I, don't play, don't act like that
U didn't try 2 understand where I was comin' from back then
Why U tryin' 2 now?
Cuz U know I got that money, that's why
Uh huh, yeah
Sit down, don't talk, come here, sit down!
I'll kick your ass
What, U think U bad now?
I'll kick your ass
Come here, good God

Mmmm
Oh yes
Somebody call up the Colonel, I hear some chicken scratchin'

I'll kick your ass
Don't U play crazy with me, I'm...
U... U not crazy, I'm crazy
I'm the one that's crazy {fade out}
U're not crazy
Come here
Don't U walk away from me
I don't care what I told U, come back here
U hear me talkin' 2 U, baby?
Come here, come here
I'll kick your ass

Baby, U could turn my mama on
She's just as straight, just as straight as straight can be
Even though my daddy's gone
Come back just 2 haunt U, come back just 2 haunt U mystically

Oh lawd, I also laugh at the spoken parts in "Girl"

I remember the peach and gold podcast sum up of that line "We have Andre Cymone here" - "Yo the I'm so cold line, I wrote that shit, Prince you were there" That cracked ME up.
