Where is the craziest, most unexpected place that you've heard a Prince song being played?

Mine- I heard "Extrordinary" being played where I work (they usually play adult contemporary overhead). It was shortly after the Vault-Old Friends For Sale CD came out.

When i was like 15 (1987) I walked in to this club and noticed that the placed was drenched in this red light. Looked up on stage and who do I see sing "Little Red Corvette" but Prince himself...I woke up about 2 minutes later only to find that I was not in the club anymore, but in my own bed, the radio was playng "Little Red Corvette" and it had some how creeped into my dreams.

The craziest place I've ever heard a Prince song was in that club, in my dreams...

Not exactly crazy, but went to the conema once and they were playing an orchastral version of Purple Rain before the film started..

On a current event TV show about dog shows. They played let's go crazy and baby i'm a star. The dogs sure went nuts, but looked 4 the purple bone, not bananna.

Just before Titanic in a small movie theatre in Glasgow, I heard Sex In The Summer - completely unexpected. When was Titanic out? Way after Emancipation, anyway...

Schiphol - Amsterdam airport last January waiting to board on a plane to London they played in the lounge... the B-sides cd of the Hits/B-sides!!!
Very strange to hear I love U In Me, Girl, Feel U Up, etc. etc. in an airport-lounge...

At school, in the UK, on a religious education video (needless to say it was "the cross")...

Walking around Marks and Spencer last week

Diamonds and Pearls came over the tannoy or whatever its called

I was mortified

A friend laughed at me

Much love Pochacco

last week i heard "somebody's somebody" at the grocery store.

i've heard "betcha by golly wow" at walmart and target.

and "pop life" in the elevator of the top of the world building in baltimore.

"purple rain" at a truck stop in wisconsin.

1992 - Soft & Wet at the Mustang Ranch (Ho House) outside of Reno NV. And we were just checking the place out before any other comments are made

Hmmm..."Soft and Wet" at the "Ho House." Doesn't sound too crazy or unexpected to me...

Guess you're right but the shit had us rollin

But one time I did play DMSR and a church dance I was DJing. Can't say it was unexpected from my point of view though since I was the one who put it on. Took my mom all of 60 seconds to get to the DJ table and make me take it off

Heard "Erotic City" as background music on CNN's Headline News.

A couple of weeks ago I heard Money Don't Matter 2 Night at Payless.

i kept hearing i wanna be ur lover, and couldn't figure out where the song was coming from. then i realized my left pinkie toe was playing it.

definately the craziest place i ever heard a prince song.

HEARD WANNA BE YOU LOVER IN AN ELEVATOR

What store?

chickenman said:

Extraordinary is AC so it makes sense they were playing it. It's the kind of song I could imagine Phil Collins or Barry Manilow singing. It's a cool song but it's not what I could call funky.

My wife saw a Bollywood movie where everyone was singing & dancing along to "Batdance". But not the original version; it was a bastardized Bollywood version.
