I had a think, and I say:

- Lady Cab Driver cool
- Lovesexy
- Anything from the Black Album


There actually was a video of When 2 R In Love from the Black Album. The whole video is just a black screen, with subtitles of the lyrics in computer type. He also subtitles what is going on in the music from time to time, i.e. "drums play pop beat", "guitar, bass and drums play descending melody". Pretty funny video.

A Condition of the Heart


When that album first came out I used direct the videos in my mind. The way "Condition" just unfolds such a beautiful story I could always imagine the lonley musician laced up with the "granny hat" as RD calls it half the veil concealin his sadness, while sitting by his piano, looking out the window... and his unanswered letter across the ocean in some woman's boudoir.
"That...magic, the start of something revolutionary-the Minneapolis Sound, we should cherish it and not punish prince for not being able to replicate it."-Dreamshaman32

I always had a video in my head for "Push" of all songs...

The synopsis is this...

Prince is Captain of the Starship Enterprise and all the god-damn-awful NPG are in the Star Trek uniform - albeit with high hair and platform heels... Instead of the Star Trek insignia badge, they have gold prince symbols on their shirts.

Well, they're all sat on the bridge and Rosie is sat in Uhura's seat... Prince is Captain Kirk. I mean it'd be the old Enterprise set because all Prince's videos are cheap...

The music starts and they're doing that swaying sideways thing and there's red lights flashing because the ship is obviously under attack and Prince and Rosie are singing:

Every time u get some
People wanna take it back
They rather see u on the run
Than see u get it like that
Every time they stop u
Change up like a sock
Every time they try 2 clock u
Tick more than they tock


Then Chekov (Tommy Barbarella) pushes a lever and they speed into hyper-drive... Tony M (Spock) starts "rapping":

Push I push
Don’t let them pull u down, yeah
Push I push
Until u get 2 higher ground
Push
U’re never 2 young, never 2 old
Push
Don’t stop until u go


It cuts to the NPG in an escape pod sort of thing, decending onto a purple planet...

Did u ever stop 2 wonder
Why u put another down?


The pod lands...

No man should asunder
The joy that another man found


There are assorted jello-monsters who greet the NPG on their arrival. And they have alien guitars and keyboards.

Maybe ’bout the business u was worried
Wasn’t ever filed in your name
Maybe the cartridge u was playin’
Don’t fit in your video game


There's an attack from other spaceships shooting lasers and the party breaks up.

Push I push
Don’t let them pull u down
Push I push
Until u get 2 higher ground
Push
U’re never 2 young, never 2 old, yeah
Push
Don’t stop until u go, hey

(alright) I push (push) ((push up on it))
(push) I push (push, push, hey)
(push) (come on and push it now, hey push)
((push up on it)) (push) I push


The NPG (except for Prince) and the alien jello monsters are beamed back onto the enterprise.

Rosie takes control of the bridge and all the crew are flipping switches and pressing buttons and stuff...

Every time u get some push
People wanna take it back p-push
They rather see u on the run push
Than see u get it like that
Every time they stop u
Change up like a sock push
Every time they try 2 clock u push
U gotta tick more than they can tock


There's some fish monster on the video screen and he looks really pissed off... He starts singing:

(no, don’t) (push) I push
(push) I push
(push) I push

(push) I push


Rosie throws her arms up in disgust:

Did u ever stop 2 wonder (did u ever stop 2 wonder) (push)

Tony stands in front of the video screen and argues with the fish monster...

Fish Monster: Yeah - I’m a-push up on it... (push)
(push)
(push, push)
Tony: Yo?
NPG: Get on the mic!


etcetera (over and over again)

The jello monsters start dancing around as Tony starts to rhyme:

I push for a beat that is greasy
I’ll dis a beat if it teases
Mark this down as I state it...
I like my funk concentrated
The pop seem, hmmm, a little overrated
U sure can tell where we’re steppin’
There’s some grease on the stage
Ooops, I just stepped in it... (push)
Circlin’ as we slide
The full stride for the ride
On a watered-down tip
We could never get by (push)
Fellas... (get on the mike)
Check it out, here’s what u gotta do (push)
Gotta step in the room with the mood
Never juicin’ yourself,
Just a confident attitude (push)
Believe me, u will get busy
Your mouth’ll drop open
[as u watch the slimmies funkin’] (push)
But u don’t want the one who’s jockin’
Cause it’s all about the clockin’ (push)
Step 1, step off 2 the dance floor (push up on it)
There ya go, y’all, yeah (push)


The image of the fish monster breaks up and we cut to Prince who looks bruised and suitably confused on the surface of the purple planet... Prince gasps for breath, clutching his chest and says:

U don’t want me on the mic!

Then Scotty (Sonny) throws a lever in the transporter room and as we see the image of Prince being beamed up, we hear him wail:

Way-hay... Hey, heay, Wooh-ohh, Wooh...

He appears and starts walking down corridors:

It’s thunder when I’m on the mike (push) I push
Daddy pop’s in the house
And u’re sure 2 like his diamonds (push) I push
Sure 2 like his pearls
I’m good 2 cream every boy and girl
Cuz I’m a stollin’,
Steady hip-hop rockin’ rollin (push)
A willing and able horny pony
And I’m pumpin’ em, I’m pumpin’ em, (push)
I’m pump-pump-pump-pump-pumpin’ em
From pakistan 2 poland (push)
Straight into your town
Snatchin’ up kiddies (get on the mike)
Like a circus clown


He enters the bridge and starts dansing with the jello monsters! Rosie starts singing...

Well, all u people out there, (push)
U’d better be ’ware
Cuz they call me rosie g
And I just don’t care (push)
I like 2 step, all night long
Rappin’, hiphopin’, and pushin this song
The song gets higher and it sets u on fire (push)
Like the lion in the jungle (get on the mike)
It takes you all higher (push)
My momma said "girl, u know it ain’t cool, (get on ...)
Said ya don’t wanna play by nobody’s rules"
I said "momma chill out, (push)
And give me a break, cause
I know I got just what it takes" (push)
I said "momma don’t put me under pressure (get on, get on ...)
I love u and I think u’re fresher - push" (push)


All the jello monsters hug each other. The fish monster shakes his fist at the video screen...

Everybody here we go, come on now,
A-push if ya wanna push


Nice outside shot of the space-ship, speeding into space (which incidentally looks like a giant dick!)

A-come on, a-come on, a-come, a-come p-p-push it, push (push)

(push it) (push)

(push it) (push)


The end.


Ummm...okay. nuts

Reminds me of a website I saw a few years ago: The Captain With No Name. His ship was in the shape of prince , and the members of the band back then were his crew. Hilarious! I wish it was still out there somewhere.
