once again, singing prince songs in public can get you some weird looks
well, to be honest, it depends on the songs. in the past i've kind of shot myself in the foot when i was in london, singing (and sort of dancing along) to "murph drag" in my head, not noticing the 2 homeless guys behind me on the sidewalk as i sang:
"murph draaaaaag, only people with money, can do this dance"
or the time when i was in the supermarket, squeezing courgettes and singing "rockhard in a funky place", getting a bewildered look from the guy in the vegetable section as i just belted out:
"i just hate to see an erection go to waste"
but i guess yesterday night was the worst one of all when i was at the news agent's and in all my humming naivety, all of a sudden i heard myself sing "vibrator" and before i could check myself i said:
"vibrator....makes me feel so good"
i even did it in that groaning, moaning voice
the guy closest to me even turned to me and said "what?"
i just had to put the book i was looking at down and get the hell out of there.
at least with prince's post 2000 output there's no chance of these things happening, so i guess that's a bit of a blessing in disguise

Not quite the same but one time we were out shopping and my son, who was about 5 at the time, was humming away really loudly. My wife asked, "What's he humming?". I replied, "Errr... Jack U Off".
Would have shamed me if anyone nearby knew what he was humming.
As for me, I have a terrible singing voice and would never dare inflict it on ayone in public. RIP | |

I don't know, some of it could still be embarassing. Your mission for the weekend is to find the most crowded place you can and start singing, "a feast, a feast, a smorgasbord at least...".
Or failing that, any of Purple & Gold. RIP | |

Anyone singing in public (unless they are on a stage and I've paid to hear them) gets the from me. And I will get the hell away from them as quickly as I can. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

let me just clarify i don't actually sing in public. i wouldn't dare.
but i just have these songs stuck in my head at that time so in my head, i am singing them. and it's always the worst parts that just 'fall out' so to speak at the wrong time.
so i'll just be listening to my own inner head soundtrack and all of a sudden go: "maybe if you copped a nut in the car....."

I don't remember the song but I was walking home one night and singing some stuff in falsetto and noticed somebody had been walking after me for quite a while.
Yeah, drunk.
