@goblinrogers I thought it was a style parody of "Freeze Frame" by the J. Geils band, until I listened to Let's Go Crazy and realized that's much closer.
Al's version is nearly identical, even down to the instrumental break; it's very possible this was simply an uncredited parody meant to sneak by Prince, who has constantly refused Yankovic to parody one of his songs. IN YOUR FACE PRINCE!!!!
The greatest thing about this one is, that Prince could easily write a song as silly as this. He actually has a lot of humour, but probably refuses Weird Al to parody him, since it would considered as a "Michael Jackson wanna be" move. This song is great though.
@danucciguzman It's better :p Also, Prince may be a decent musician, but he's too arrogant for not letting Weird Al cover it. Must be some sort of superiority complex.
@karelyn8 Prince has refused to let Al parody his songs, but in reality there's nothing he can do about it. The Supreme Court said that parody constitutes fair use, and therefore doesn't require permission from the original artist.
The best part in this song, apart from great lyrics, it has to be the guitar solo's, namely the one at the very VERY end... Awesomeness from a parody Guitarist.

This song sounds a lot like lets go crazy by prince lol. It's probably as close as he can get with out making a parody because prince won't let him.

@goblinrogers It's technically a style parody, but their remarkably similar, or so I've heard.

Even though this song is a style parody of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy", Prince has refused "Weird Al" Yankovic to parody any one of his songs.
