that time he gently told the audience to get up and dance because, well, SOME of them really needed the exercise and they knew who they were. something to that effect. he was much smoother of course

how about the song "work that fat"

And Possessed at the '84 bday show .. "I just love big soul sistahs". "300lbs..soul sistahs"...something like that.

The Love Bizarre live bit where he ask Jerome about the new dance called the Oak Tree. He asks J to show that dance, J spastic dances to the title of the Morris Day ditty. Prince says, Oaktree, we need to cut that tree down and make a wooden leg. Chop! hehe.

Addressing the audience midsong at a London aftershow with -

"What I want you to do right now...well besides throwing those cameras down this aint a photo shoot motherfucka"

Followed by one of the band killing themselves laughing in the backgorund, and then Prince laughing a little in response.

It may not be exact...recalling it from memory

He's singing Head. He pretends to brush his teeth! That is both sick and funny.

That interview where Damaris woke Prince up was pretty funny, where he says "we shaved her down and taught her how to speak" lol - classic Prince, Johnny on the spot with the jokes.

And the way he ends it: "Victoria?" *click*

"sista ugly that's the truth she pees in the backyard sleep on the roof"

I always thought it was "she eats pizza in the backyard and sleeps on the roof"!

Let's remember that wonderful sense of humor.

"Who's the fool singing WILL? It's WOULD. Time would stand STILL. Yes it would."

How about the K-Funk Interview with Nadera.

Nadera: Good morning 2 u, it’s 12 o’clock, and 2 nite on our album hour we’re going to be featuring a young man named Prince. Also, he’s here with us in the studio and we’ll be talking 2 him a little about his success … he’s come a long way … and he’s also from Minneapolis. Good morning Prince. How u doing?

Prince: Fine

Nadera: So how does it feel to have a have a hit album, and also, um, a hit single, Soft & Wet. U know a lot of people have been wondering about the title. If u could give us a little background…and how u came up with that and how u developed it.

Prince: It happened shortly after my mother died. I felt her cold corpse, came up with the title.

Nadera: Well that’s remarkable. I think that it’s great that a man with your talent … u seem 2 have a lot going 4 u. U r listening to KQRS, this is our album … we’re having a little problem

Prince: (in the background) Go 2 a commercial

Nadera: We’ll be right back

"Didn't they tell you no pictures? I've got a nice soft hotel bed waiting for me, The next person to take a picture, Twist his neck!."

- When he told Kim Kartrashian to get off the stage

- On turning down his collaboration with Michael Jackson on Bad in an interview with Chris Rock: "That Wesley Snipes character? That was gonna be me. Run that video in your mind. The first line in that song is 'your butt is mine'. Now I'm saying, who gon sing that to whom? Coz you sho ain't singing that to me. And I sho ain't singing that to you."

- On Michael Jackson's Bad album: "They had to call it Bad because Pathetic wouldn't fit on the sleeve."

always loved the playful side of him when he was in that mood at live gigs ..

and for some reason this line always made me chuckle...from Vicki Waiting

"Why is your organ so small?"
He replied "I didn't know I was playing in a cathedral.

Along with the whole of Horny Toad,which just makes me laugh out loud

The first time I ever saw Prince live, he sang "Cream" on acoustic guitar. Before the "You're so cool, everything you do is success," line he said something to the extent of "Say this to yourself in the mirror every morning!". Then after the lyric, he imitated himself mouthing those lyrics to himself in the mirror. He told a variation of this joke at successive concerts and I found it absolutely hilarious every time.
