President Obama and Michelle Obama hosted a special Halloween trick-or-treat party at the White House this past Sunday.

In attendance were little superheroes, nurses, animals, soldiers and of course, a miniature replica of the late Prince.

Impressed by the uncanny resemblance of this little boy dressed as Prince, Obama greeted The Purple One before serenading him with an a cappella, presidential rendition of ’80s classic, “Purple Rain.”

“Hey, Prince! What’s going on, man?” President Obama is heard asking little Prince in the video below just before breaking out into song.

Little Prince not only received candy, but a song from the president. If it’s even possible to win at Halloween, this kid definitely left victorious.
