prince has got a brand new dance

so i'm trying to compile a list of dances that prince does, the ones that he made up, and has named.
cuz when he goes through that routine i think is extra hilarious and funky

you know,
the ones he likes to introduce with the
"i gotta brand new dance,
people people i got a brand new dance,
ain't talkin' bout housequake, ain't talkin bout shake and bake, ain't takin about rice-a-roni..." etc.

ok, so i'll start without being attempting to be completely exhaustive.
but i wanna know if i'm missing any.

of course there's the 'prince gets ready, put on deoderant, brush his teeth combs his hair' routine best seen in the 86 birthday show, which as far as i know, has got no name. but boy, ain't that thing a riot!

the six
housequake
the dance electric
le grind
horny pony
nevada shake
the ozzy osbourne
wooden leg
oak tree
cat walk
detroit crawl
the scratch

I don't know the name of it, but I like the one he did during the SOTT tour where he walked like a dog, then cocked his leg! That shit was funny!

Did Prince give a name to the dance he's doing on the intro video of "U Got The Look" where he, Cat and I believe Wally are crawling on all fours like dogs?

Also what's the name of that dance he's doing in Purple Rain at the end of "Baby I'm A Star"? You know where he's taking the baby steps across the stage with his hands across his head looking like he's licking them (also at the end of the "Let's Go Crazy" video).

hmm

That's the exact one I'm talkin' about! What you don't see in the video is that at the end of that move they all hike up their legs like a male dog takin' a whiz! Truly hilarious!!

I don't think that has a name. That's just vintage Prince!

I was thinking that may have been a dance to coincide with "La La Hee Hee."
