  • You know, I don't ever remember seeing this commercial...it may have gotten some notoriety from Prince's legal reps threatening lawsuits and all, but the fact is, it didn't really do anything for Prince's spaghetti and sauce sales. And neither did Stan's1970 Ballantine commercial {"Ballantine's Complaint"}, or his show-stopping Ann Miller production number for Heinz's "Great American Soups" [that hardly moved ANY cans of their soup off grocers' shelves}. Freberg had his share of "lemons"...

  • @fromthesidelines His commercials might not have caused boxes and cans to fly off the shelves, but they did create belly laughs and a big smile every time.

  • i worked with the pr agency that worked with freberg on this and prince certainly did have a problem with it, or at least the cease and desist letter asked us to do just that. which of course got the spaghetti company millions of dollars in free publicity. the real funny story is what happened we sentthe wall street journal a dub which had video from a s&m film not edited out by the dub house. the agency got embarrassed in the press because the dub house gave us reused tape!

  • Wow! Thanks for the great anecdote!

  • LOL - that commercial was as cool as hell, back in the day. Still diggin it.

  • lmao this is too funny. and the fact he tried to file a lawsuit makes this commercial even more hilarious. lol at the hand holding the can of sauce at the end lol

  • how the hell hes going to sue? he doesnt own the copyright to the name "Prince" they were using that word WAYYYY before his time

  • LMAO i thought this was a real Prince concert! XD good one though :) love spaghetti :)

  • I remember reading about this commercial and I was thinking Prince did not it. I never saw it until now and I find he had no problem.

  • Prince don't eat much of anything, much less a plate of good-good Prince shpagett. That why he never grew.
