As Prince gets out of the tub. He says, "You never know these days." The video is 40 years years old.😂 Prince was just Prince and there will never be another.

[@cheriwinn3852]

This is Prince on all vocals and instruments. This is the edited version of the song. You missed the best 2 minutes of the video.

[@saiyanleague653]

the extended version is so much better but it gets blocked a lot for reactors too

[@mufasa6324]

Agreed… the extended version is so much better…once you hear it, this version always sounds incomplete…

[@gfanarakos]

@@mufasa6324 the extended ? there is no extended - its the original ... dont mess it..if it was extended it would be 20 min. Prince would do that even if he is in heaven

[@danielserda]

There's no they in this song - everything you're hearing was recorded by Prince, working alone in the studio with a single engineer. He wrote and recorded this song in less than 24 hours after Albert Magnoli, the director of Purple Rain, told him he needed another song for a transitional scene in the movie.

[@Mountprospect1]

Funky as hell... but no bassline. Genius!!

[@mztweety1374]

I was not happy when I heard it. But the. I went to see them live. Best Christmas gift ever! God I miss the 80s

[@davidcolumbia5792]

Not only a great song it was the #1 hit of 1984 on Billboard's Hot 100 year end survey..

[@willfromyadkinville]

this is the short version. the official video is awesome!

[@js3599]

Prince was well known to constantly push the envelope...That is what put him at the top... Even to this day....

[@kali550]

As others have commented, this is an edited, short version of the song. The full (extended) version is the one to watch. It’s what was on the album. This leaves the great ending off the song.

[@evelynthompson755]

Prince was synonymous with sex. I turned 12 that year and this video was very popular. Prince was the epitomy of a sex symbol. His music was so cool too. This came out before music videos became concert promos. Music videos were mini movies back then (see Duran Duran). They shot them in exotic locations with good budgets. MTV was very popular as well.

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

Yep, he was the reason there is a Parental Advisory sticker on some music after Tipper Gore listened to what their daughter was hearing on the Purple Rain album with songs like "Darling Nikki."

[@gfanarakos]

prince was far from that even provoking...sex is not the case sex is the metaphor. You must check all his videos..its never the case its higher than that

[@jennhurl]

My 21 & 24 yr old children were on a 4 hour drive with me over the holidays & I made them listen to the entire Purple Rain album 😂👏 Mom of the Year

[@otisroseboro5613]

Hard To Believe It's Been 8 Years Today Since We Lost This Great Artist 😢😢

[@Chihome]

Loving the hell out of this Prince journey you guys are taking. Great job and keep up the great work!

[@jjjones8609]

Other Prince hits: Kiss, raspberry beret, let’s go crazy (rock), cream, gett off (rap).

[@orlandoochoada2242]

The Syracuse concert in 1985 is regarded as some of Prince's best performances. "Let's go crazy" is a number from this concert you might enjoy seeing performed live.

[@mztweety1374]

Very best version of Purple Rain….16 minutes long 😂😂😂😂

[@AngelDawn1982]

I have the Syracuse 1985 concert on dvd. Ironically just received it today. But I love the Syracuse concert mostly because I literally live an hour from Syracuse. But you r right about the performance…absolutely amazing!!

[@Renkk17]

One of my Favorites from Prince, along with Little Red Corvette, and 1999, Lets go Crazy ..... also most of the video showed clips of the movie Purple Rain, if you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for,.... I've seen it about 20 times already and still would see it again!

[@ScottLaVine-br8wt]

This is the short version. There's a whole nother few minutes of instrumental.

[@SilentPhoenix__]

and absolutely insane prince screams as well

[@tracyface69]

@@SilentPhoenix__yes and the keyboard solo is dope as hell in the extended version.

True.. me , my mom, my grandmother ….dad was not amused 😂😂

[@leer201]

He is they. He allows no one to record his vocals but him. Yes he engineers his own sessions

[@user-ds8bi2fw9e]

Prince, is one of the best concerts I've seen !

[@davidnorth-martino]

You need to watch the movie Purple Rain (1984) Much of the visuals in the music video come from the movie. In most of this video you're really not seeing Prince, you're watching his character known only as The Kid in the movie.

[@Cinnamonrollseveryday]

Nice reaction guys, but as far as Prince and as a LONG TIME fan, ONLY THE LIVE PERFORMANCES. He is THE GOAT LIVE as you have reacted to "while my guitar gently weeps"... Ironically, his Superbowl performance of 2007 is the best and tomorrow is Superbowl, will you react to the performance?

[@tracyface69]

But react to the entire halftime show not just the part where he performs Purple Rain.

[@Cinnamonrollseveryday]

@@tracyface69 YES 💜

[@tracyface69]

BTW check out “When Doves Cry” (Extended version ) of this song is the only version to listen to. It’s longer and had a hell of a keyboard solo. Just saying, it’s worth the time to check out

[@lupodelupis3672]

This masterpiece is always my favorite in that masterpiece of Purple Rain since 1984.

[@JonathanEmprendedor]

Prince played the guitar intro and The synths riff.

[@StevesRealReviews]

Great video - 1984 all PRINCE was huge - and continued from there!! Hope you can do a Prince journey!!

[@endorphinzz]

It's too bad you didn't react to the "extended" version of When Doves Cry--it's actually just the album version and was the version everyone first heard and was the video everyone first watched. As good as the song is, it gets even ferociously better when you hear the full length album version. And the video for the "extended" (album) version just gets better and better as it goes on.

[@mikeb36240]

Rag and Bone Man - "Only Human" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nates1092]

This is my favorite Prince song.

[@keithmurphy5356]

Dope reaction. But you guys are missing out on the full song.....You should def. react to a extended album video version of When Doves Cry.. The guitar solo and keyboard breakdown alone are worth it....

[@rodb9275]

I get so excited when i see you do a reaction to a classic song that I love. Because the 2 of your are so charismatic, and REAL. And gorgeous. I LOVE YOU BOTH. There is a longer version of this that I wish reactors would consider.

[@jeffreyriley8742]

One of the VERY greatest songs of all-time. On the VERY short list.

[@JaneWalters-ni7se]

Totally a classic song. Period.

[@JaneWalters-ni7se]

You guys this is a great flick!! Saw it in the theater 2 days after it came out ❤😊 80s love

[@chris-julian5537]

When referencing his parents I believe this narrative was from the standpoint of his movie character in Purple Rain. The film was only semi-autobiographical. In real life his parents were divorced but may not have been as dramatic as in the film.

[@lissdonovan5745]

Love me some Prince!! Would love to see your reaction to "The Cross", live in Dortmund...so good!! Also Shiela E killin the drums, give it a try...

[@elainedixon1954]

Love prince

[@otisroseboro5613]

As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To All These Great Song's, Please Keep Them Coming

[@chucku00]

You ain't seen nothing of Prince until you watch the video of "Automatic"...

[@patticriss2238]

The first time my husband said he loved me was while dancing to this song. 40 years ago October.

[@adrianwoods7720]

Been my favorite song for 40 years. I never get sick of it.

[@seymorestuff235]

I love watching you guys! 😊

[@Cherokeelion]

Im old enough to forget there are people who havent heard Prince. He was allllll over radio in the 80s, anything associated with Purple Rain both album and movie were long lasting hits. Most of his earlier funk was too racy for mainstream radio 😆 but he definitely brought the FUNK to the party!

[@joebwankenobi5194]

Scotty Boy keepin the channel going, shout out

[@kurtjanicki7325]

Dez Dickerson with the deep bass voice - and of course the ever-irreverent Wendy & Lisa on the high end ... brilliant

[@Mary-xo7ue]

❤this song. Enjoy😂

In this video are clips from the movie "Purple Rain"

[@Mshighyellow]

❤❤❤

💜💜💜

[@user-nr3sk8ib4w]

The movie PURPLE RAIN is great, some stuff 💜 is kinda corny in it now, but back in the 80's it WAS AWESOME, STILL IS, I WAS/ IS a PRINCE FREAK, before I became a METAL HEAD

[@kimshaky]

most of the video fotage is taken from the movie

[@williamhayes981]

Prince literally composed every musical note you hear in this song....he let Wendy and Lisa help compose the actual song Purple Rain. But, everything else, all Prince.

[@you2449]

Oh No, this was the short version! 😢 Need to hear the album version. There's a whole 1/3 of the song left. Arguably the best (or strangest) part. What you heard was "good." But the Full song is what makes it a masterpiece.

[@jdubya30062]

Really missed out not watching the extended version. The remainder is amazing. I strongly recommend ‘Cream’, ‘Sexy MF’ ‘Little Red Corvette’ ‘1999’, ‘Kiss’ and ‘If I was Your Girlfriend’ Videos. Extensive repertoire. ‘I Wanna Be Your Lover’, ‘DMSR’, Sexy Dancer (Long Version), Sign O’ The Times Ballads: Adore, International Lover, insatiable, scandalous (sex suite), do me baby, when we’re dancing close and slow, still waiting, it’s gonna be lonely

[@agentsculder2451]

Only Prince can make a hit dance song that doesn't have a bass line. It's should not work, but it does.

[@RickeyWilkersonVoices]

If you think this was steamy give "Darling Nikki" a listen!

[@oskarobit]

Pause the video, go to 03:13, change the speed to 0.50 AND A ROUND OF CHEAP WHISKEY SHOTS! Let the joint rule!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@phohead]

The long version is much better.

[@eastcoastaj5048]

Let's Go Crazy has to be next

[@mztweety1374]

3:20 of course…Prince was our first sex Ed teacher. Rumor has it there’s an x rated love scene that was cut from the movie. I was so disappointed..I was also ten😂😂😂 hush, it was the 80s!

[@marcusmccormick8399]

Cool reaction. He took the bass out of the song so u could feel like something is missing. U gotta watch the Purple Rain movie which puts the great songs in better context

[@BayAreaSon]

Everybody that does this song always do this short video

[@sampson3121]

full version is best. try it

[@georgiadailey182]

Spicy? With Prince, this ain't nothing. And he did perform in a speedo - with just a trench coat and some lovely thigh high boots (during the Dirty Mind days, before Purple Rain).

[@alfredo7912]

react to the full version, people always react to the cut version

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

If you think this was spicy lyrically, you have not gone very far into the Prince rabbit hole yet. But the video was mildly spicy and all over the place.

[@stevehamilton8824]

Amazing song and video! Prince was a genius and it all culminated at just the right moment with Purple Rain from a commercial standpoint. But his music before & after this album were all good but not everything was written to be as commercial. A lot of his music earlier in his career, even up to this point there was a conflict within him that was pretty obvious. He wrote about sexuality & sex often, while at the same time wrote about God & religion, sometimes even in the same song. Reading his lyrics is very telling of a man who was conflicted by the rules religion promoted and man's need for sexual pleasure. His music did change as he got older and the sexual part of his writing lessened and his focus on spirituality evolved. He was neither one or the other and it seemed he had made piece with it. Instead of religion and sex pushing against one another he discovered the both have a place and that spirituality was what mattered. He still sang about God, but not in the same way where he felt that he would be punished for his sins. Prince was a very complex man, very conflicted and often times misunderstood. It shows a lot in his music. He lets it all out and as the person who got you to react to this song said, his parents weren't exempt from being a part of his demons or light. He put it all out there for the world to hear. BRILLIANT!

[@bruce21]

You should check out the cover that Nonpoint did of this song.

[@chrishutchinson1736]

Great song but not the full version. Go to the album for that

I hope you guys will watch the movie Purple Rain to see Price in his first movie.

thats why Prince was so furious with music industry.. why cut off a song and butcher the best part? its the limits of the tape...? No its commerciality.... Prince kicked their ass and was above musical stereotypes worldwide. He gave the finger to industry since 1984 and ever since
