422. "Gett Off" Prince

*video not available on YouTube, and yes there will be discussion about this below

"Gett Off"
Prince
Diamonds and Pearls
1991

I've mentioned earlier about how ludicrous I find Warner Music Group's policy to not allow any videos that they own to be shared online. Their policy is not only shortsighted and asinine, but is also fucking up my plan to have a video of the song I'm writing about accompany each post.
That said, with most Warner acts, I can find a way around it; a live performance or a fan-made video is almost always available.
Well, Prince and WMG didn't agree on a lot (see: changing name to unpronounceable glyph, writing SLAVE on face to protest his Warner contract), but one thing they saw eyes to tits on was making it difficult for fans of Prince's work to share their enthusiasm online.
I'm about to post a link to the stupidest video on YouTube. I'm warning you because your brain might not be able to handle such jackassery. Please open in a separate tab or window, because we'll be coming back to it.

So that is the actual video to "Gett Off", posted on YouTube, but because Prince does not allow his songs to be posted on YouTube, the music has been replaced with a generic keyboard track.
Stupid, right? Who would even bother?
Now, do me a favor and attempt to share this video. Click on "Share", and then click on "Embed". Then come on back to Timmy's warm embrace.
Did you see?
They made it so you cannot even share the fake video they made up and put on YouTube for no apparent reason.
Like it was just a habit by this point.
I've got one or two more Prince songs on the countdown. I checked, and yes, the same issue with all of them.
Ramones, standby, we may need another emergency replacement.


(If you were curious, my original idea for this post was about how hard it would be for someone to keep track of sexual positions during a one night stand once it went over, like, 9. At that point it's not sex, it's just math. But you kind of need to have heard the song to get the joke. Motherfuckers. I liked that joke.)
