[Prince fan dances to “I Wanna Be Your Lover” on London Tube train]
DAILY MAIL—[27 APR 2016] Purple Train: Uplifting – and ever so slightly awkward – moment passengers join in as Prince fan dances to I Wanna Be Your Lover in a London Tube carriage [see photos and video here]
- Jackson Flowers busts a series of confident dance moves on the Circle line
- Three enthusiastic girls join in too, whopping and clapping as they boogie
Most of us on the London tube tend to keep our eyes down, body contact to a minimum and thoughts to ourselves.
This man? Not so much.
A feel-good video has captured him paying tribute to the late singer Prince by dancing enthusiastically on the Circle line train to one of his hit songs and getting his fellow travellers to join in.
Jackson Flowers (Jax) is seen announcing his intentions to the crowd at Blackfriars before using speakers to blast out Prince’s 1979 song I Wanna Be Your Lover.
Within seconds the confident man is busting out a series of dance moves to the amazement of the assorted passengers.
Various girls are particularly excited by the impromptu performance and they clap and cheer in appreciation.
‘I love you Prince!’ Jax cries as he boogies towards the camera, ‘You’re a legend!’
The commuters cannot help but crack up with laughter as the dancer struts his stuff, often using the pole and even sliding to the floor at various points.
He is not alone in his enthusiasm though, as he grabs the hand of a raving blonde girl, believed to be called Laura Ann, to encourage her to also dance with him.
