Nobody digs Purple Rain - but us
It's been three months since we've convened the Stuck in the '80s gang at the Spears Lair for a DVD audio commentary. That all changes tonight when Sean Daly, Stephanie Hayes, Vegas Girlfriend and I record our epic commentary for Prince's Purple Rain.
Why Purple Rain? (Burp! Why not!?!) Because it's an '80s -- dare I say -- classic. Heavy on music, light on dialogue, a little requisite frontal nudity and the fashion is just faaab-ulous. VGF and I know the movie line by line. Stephanie will be seeing it for the very first time. And count on Daly to bring his usual selection of sexually tinged aloof comments in between trips to the bathroom.
It'll be a late-night affair, with Mr. Daly bringing up the rear by arriving about 10ish -- probably with a freshly half-emptied bottle of Crown Royal. In the meantime, food for thought.
TOP 5 PURPLE RAIN LINES FROM MORRIS DAY:
5. "Say the password, onion head!"
4. "Let's have some action! Let's have some a---- wigglin' ... I want some perfection!"
3. "I'm gonna make you love me."
2. "Your lips would make a lollipop too happy."
1. "How's the family?"
