I was in a bar last night here in Brooklyn and the song Sign O The Times

came on the system and I nearly shit myself! I'll say this too, it sounded

DAMN good!

Anyone else hear a non-usual Prince song pop up somewhere lately?

Sort of.

The coffee shop chain "Costa Coffee" in the UK plays shiveringly awful cover versions of tracks by well known artists.

Just recently, I heard "Blue Light" sung by a female vocalist backed by lounge type music. It was, quite frankly.........awful, but not quite as awful as the Costa version of Bowies Ashes To Ashes.

Holy shit, no way! You heard a former top 10 hit in a bar?

In the backwoods of New York?

SOTT is pretty rare to hear anywhere save for some fans mp3 player

I heard " She's Always In My Hair" at a gay bar here in San Diego, "The Loft" I almost shit myself!

Jesus weeps

I heard "The Greatest Romance Ever Sold" at a leather jacket store in that famous market of Istanbul months ago. It's a good tune! But is it influenced by... by....

I heard "7" at Whole Foods Market. I looked around going, hey, this is "7" by Prince ... but nobody gave a shit.

One time, I actually heard "Crucial" being played @ the entrance of a Best Buy....I was absolutely & completely shocked by it . It was really loud too. So pretty much if you were in the parking lot & near the entrance, you were guaranteed to hear it very very well....

Lived in Europe for some years and SOTT is a usual song over there. Heard it many times on the radio and in stores. With Europe i mean London and Amsterdam to be exact.

7 i didnt hear there, but in the States it was a pretty big hit.

Heard "Play in the sunshine" during the Australian open tennis on tv a couple years back while going to commercial break...

Is this really a thread ?

Have I actually read it ?

Please don't tell me I'm actually replying to it !

Do some folk really nearly shit themselves when they hear a Prince song? The man is incredible - I mean...the POWER of his music ! It really can MOVE you!

FFS !

Last Grammies they played 5 seconds of Hot Thing as a transition into the commercial break.

I think it's about hearing rareified Prince songs in odd or unexpected places.

Hell, it's better than reading another bitching and poaning post. Come now..isn't life and posts a little bit better with new shoes?

I know, I know !! But sometimes you see this and just wanna find somewhere so high, you can fall off n die !! I mean, HELLO !!! Please come back the original housequake.com !!

Now THOSE guys were on some high horse bullshit. Fuck a Housequake.com.

FunkDr said:

Ha ! Some rode a high-horse ...maybe ! But that's better than a low-ass (non-horny) pony !

Wrong!

...and there isnt no 'maybe' about it.

You see..there high horsedness caused their own demise/displeasure to go on. Ill explain it if I need to..if you dont see it...for those of you on valium.

I was in Toronto at Easter 2011 and there's a band called The A-Team who play at The Orbit Room. Super, amazing band. They played a bunch of covers and the second they started up, I was dancing. Then I heard this beat and this groove and I was like "I know this.....What the hell is this?" Then I realized it was SOTT and I almost lost my mind!

Later they went into IIWYG. Shocking.
