Maybe if Al had come to Prince with a parody about fat people, he would have been on board. Maybe he just never had the best ideas for parodies and Prince was saving Al from himself. I ship this.Elvis wrote:I've been sitting on this for a while, but now is as good time as any to post it. I have an audio clip of Prince taking about Weird Al and "Fat". It's off of one of his LoveSexy Tour rehearsal bootlegs from around 1988. He starts out by saying he didn't like "Eat It" but then goes on the say he really likes "Fat" and makes some references to the song and video. You can tell he really enjoyed it and was laughing. It's interesting because it shows he knows Al's work (or at least the hits) and has a sense of humor, so it was always a mystery to me why he never said yes to Al.

I never really knew Prince outside of the whole Weird Al thing. I saw him on SNL once and didn't care. I guess he probably made good music or something but I've only heard When Doves Cry and Purple Rain and that party like it's 1999 song. It's sad I guess but I was never super attached to him or anything. People die.
