I'm the pretty prince of parties
You're a tasty piece of pastry
You're so lighty, flighty, flakey
I go where the party takes me

I'm a funky monkey junky
You're a flunky, bunky donkey
You're a picture of the devil's daughter
I'm a pitcher of holy water

Oh, pretty prince of parties
Where's the party now? I don't know
Oh, pretty prince of parties
Where does water go? I let it flow

Oh, pretty prince of parties
Can I come to your party? No
Oh, pretty prince of parties
Where do you get your clothes?
They're made of snow
Pretty party clothes crocheted of snow

I'm the Mickey Maori minstrel
You're the high priestess of tinsel
I'm the guru god of ganja
Ramashalanka lanka, Ravi Shankar

I can't tell whether it's making fun of psychedelic music or setting a solid example.

Fun never repeats itself. This may be a take off but goes beyond. Keep up, or die in the shadows. Party till you die, because life is boring.

The thing I loved about this show is how most of the supporting characters were also played by off-kilter comedians. Whomever did the casting did a good job with that.

When Bret says "...crocheted of snow," I lose it every time. I think it's the expression on his face or something.

paul jardine

this lot are geniuses (all of them and I mean the whole gang) ... really they are... and I love them all deeply. Pure brilliance at comedy and some of their songs show genuine (I mean it) awesome insight and their music is terrific..! True x

"Oh Pretty prince of parties, where's the party now?" "I don't know! "Oh pretty prince of parties, can I come to your party?" "No." Best lines. Full stop.

This is so magical :D I first thought "Oh god no this can't be a Beatles reference in modern TV", but yeah it's a pretty great parody of their "Rain" video, of which is almost as sweet :v ALMOST, I think this is better than the original

Benjamin Rubin

The only similarity is that both videos are in a park

Julia

It reminds me of Donovan...

Or anybody from 1967 :v

That's really only part of the joke. He's literally dressed like Prince.

Coaty Monday

I don't know, I watched that video and it didn't really look close enough for this to qualify as a parody. Maybe it influenced this video though.

paulnaylor

12y

In the show it cuts back to the squirrel after Bret's line and just shows it for a couple seconds in silence, I cracked up too. It's a prime example of how the littlest thing can be the funniest.
