Saw it recently. In my opinion it hasn't stood the test if time. Dated and nonsensical

See, to me, that's what makes things like this awesome! lol



Honestly for me it was weird feeling that way. Prince for me has classics...yes, of course. But for me to actually think one of his songs and accompanying video come off as dated was strange. He kinda looks like a chipmunk in that video and the chained hat looks cheaply made. In fact...my thoughts were that the entire video looked cheaply made upon reviewing it recently. Sorry but true

Well I am sure he did the best he could do for chain hats as I guess they ran out at the chain hat storešŸ˜³ If he looked like a chipmunk in that video there was a lot of ladies that did not mind.

Apparently, rosylo is referring to the "high quality" of the video that Scott McCullough posted. The "high quality" is superb. Hopefully, he will post more.

Scott McCullough has posted the music video of "Violet The Organ Grinder" by Prince! Check out the video: https://vimeo.com/197305376 Here is what he says: "Through my lens...A throwback classic and rare Prince. Available on "Gett Off" the home Video Warner Bros. and Paisley Park Records Produced by P.O.V. Films - closed Cinematography and camera by Scott McCullough Directed by Randee St. Nicholas Edited by Prince" [Edited 12/30/16 15:13pm]

I remember buying the "maxi-single" and the VHS of this when it came out. Good times. Violet and Clockin the Jizz were always my favorites. RIP Prince.

I didn't mind! I still think he's the finest man that ever lived, and he looked amazing in this video love2

Yes, they are awesome.

The "Gett Off (housestyle)" remix is AMAZING too!

Well I can deal with a sucker if he's in your mouth but I can't deal with insincere. I am the one that lives in your heart, you love me, no matter what you say. Swear you don't miss the organ grinder, grinding on you every day. touched

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

Wow, previously only vaialble as a VHS interlaced transfer (right?). this is a cool Xmas gift. Putting the "x" in Christmas.

Nope, the Gett Off video EP was released on laserdisc in 1991.

The laserdisc and DVD rip have been in circulation since then.

I didn't even know that this song existed up until about a year ago when clips of it were posted on instagram. Of course, I was like "What the hell?" as I rolled my tongue back in.
Really loved the "nonsensical" look and sound of it and now is on my most played playlist.
But God, he looks so hot here. Sex is just dripping from him, my favourite, sexiest look.
