The Bit Where I Did Musical Monday…

I don’t nor­mally do memes and blog trends, but I saw this over at 0ddness and thought it would be a great way to cheer myself up.

You basic­ally just post a song of your choice and I chose If Eye Was Ur Girl­friend by Prince .

If Eye Was Ur Girl­friend is one of my all time favour­ite Prince songs and one of the many high­lights of the Sign O’ The Times album. Accord­ing to myth and legend, the song refers to the close bond pecu­liar to female friends and sees Prince crav­ing that same level of intim­acy with a love interest. I know, I know, I prom­ise that I’ll stop gush­ing over P and start post­ing “proper” very soon, I could just do with a little “pick me up”.

Sign O' the Times: Original Soundtrack Prince - Sign 'O' The Times DVD

Judging by the hair in this live clip, the date is circa 1999/2000 (and he was known as The Artist back then). This isn’t my all-time favour­ite per­form­ance of this song (I prefer the per­form­ance from the Sign O’ The Times film, but I couldn’t find that on the net) but on the plus side, this clip has some deli­cious close-ups and The Floofy Hair™. :swoon: Enjoy.

EDIT: Clip has been removed from YouTube.

    Doesn’t he? :fan: He’s on-stage persona(e) is/are so huge (so much so that you don’t even notice his [lack of] height ;) ) that it’s always such a big shock when you see him “off-stage” dur­ing inter­views when he “shrinks” back into his shell and is so softly spoken and shy.

    Yay for floofy hair!

    The Pretty­man ROCKS the Floofy Hair. [Exhibit #1, #2 & #3]. ;D

  • His chest hair doesn’t look real to me. To be hon­est, I don’t know what you see in him.

  • GB: Wel­come Mr. B, so good to have you.

    I thought that it first too, no doubt yours is much more impress­ive. :nods:

    Horses, courses and all that. Per­son­ally, it’s all in that [chest] hair.

  • He’s good, and i don’t usu­ally say this bout that type of music, but i really do like his songs.

    Hi Chris, I have to agree, I don’t tend to listen to many Funk/RnB/Soul etc artists (and the ones I do like don’t tend to be cur­rent artists), but I love so much of Prince’s back-catalogue. :nods:
