Only Aussies will know the show, but I was watching Burk's Backyard (gardening show) between Big Brother adds (hee hee) and they had a road test of the Long Haired Afgan Dog (not 100% sure on the dog name, I was mainly interested in the Prince music LOL) they played 3 Prince songs in the background, Let's Go Crazy, U Got The Look and Baby, I'm A Star. That woud be the first time I have ever heard Prince played on Aussie TV. It is great 2 hear him being played, especially on a show like Burk's Backyard, Don, U got my respect.

but WHY would he choose 3 PRINCE songs?

unless they r known as the prince of dogs or sumthin

Good on ya Burkee!! Man, that show has been around since forever!

Man, this is sad.

The only exposure that Prince's songs get really these dayz in Australia is on Burkes Backyard?

We gotta bring back the days where they use to have Prince specials on RAGE, where they use to play the BBC docos first, then the videos (including live performances) until dawn!

Thought they'd do it on his birthday, but they got Grand Master Flash programing instead

well the songs were U Got the Look, Baby I'm a Star, and Let's Go Crazy, if u know the lyrics and saw the dog it would make more sence I guess, but I dont fully understand the Let's Go Crazy one though, all it had when that song was palying was them jumping and running around, and they wernt going crazy at all.

I remember those nights i remember staying up till 5am watching Prince clips, now those WERE the days i hadnt seen any of the old clips at that stage and was so stoked to see AUTOmatic and Sexuality love the clips, plus it was sooo cool to see the Batman clip again


HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 PRINCE may his RAIN go on 4ever

i think we should all hit the Rage website & tell them we want a prince nite.
they have done the whole madonna marathon from 1-4am... 3-4 times in as many years.

let's all do this & hopefully we will get some rare clips shown

Didn't Burke try to meet with Prince when he toured in 1992, but Prince turned him down? A have a vague memory of something like that. Maybe his daughter, if he has one, is a big Prince fan.

If that is at all true, then I have a new found respect 4 what I thought was such an unfunky guy

dnaplaya said:

Oops, it was Rex Hunt I was thinking of. Apparently he wanted to take Prince fishing or something like that, but Prince declined.

LOL Rex Hunt wanted Prince to go fishing with him ROFLMMFAO that would have to b the funniest thing i have ever heard ohhh to good

Harlequin said:

Hmm, I can just see it. It would be really cheesy with Prince sitting on a boat, singing "KISS" while Rex Hunt is kissing the fish and throwing them back in the drink

Or, as Rex throws the fish back, Prince is singing "Animal Kingdom" ..."Leave ya bruthas in the sea.."

id love to have a prince night on rage...or on any music channel.
why doesnt he get as much coverage here? maybe cause he hasnt been here for like 15 years.*sigh*

Have you seen the past Prince specials on Rage? They've been great, with 4 hours(?) or so of clips, including some obscure ones. It's a pity the sound on my video is crap, and mono at that.

Hey !! I saw that too! haha I couldn't believe it - just had the tv on in the back ground & suddenly heard Princey Baby! haha
God - somehow i can't imagine Prince and Rex Hunt ... i HATE REX HUNT...
Oh well...
