It would be nice to say I planned it this way. That I saved the best for last (this is the final part, after all), and that today just happened to be the man in questions birthday. But, nope, I had planned to put this video up a few weeks ago but it was removed from YouTube and I had to go with an obvious replacement in, er, John Cena. As you do.
So, yeah, the video was removed from YouTube. Is it too big a spoiler to say he does that sort of thing a lot? Or even more of a spoiler to say this is my favourite musician of all time?
Yeah, you already know who it is.
And it's weird that, in the history of these videos, I've never put him up for nomination before. Too obvious, maybe? Who knows, but I decided, like the Beatles before, not to play it safe. So I'm not going to be asking if you think Purple Rain is a good song or hey, have you ever heard of this song "Kiss?" Instead, I'm going to pick a brand new song from a brand new album, a song that is unmistakable Prince. About four different genres in one? Check. Screwing with his voice? Check. Killer guitar? Check.
So Prince released two albums in one day, and this is "Funk and Roll". You try and keep those feet from movin'.
