Hollywood veteran Spike Lee says he would like to direct a musical some day.

The 61-year-old star, who has helmed documentaries about Michael Jackson and Pavarotti, says making a ''straight out singing and dancing'' movie is still on his bucket list.

"I'm going to do a musical one day, for sure. I mean, there are many musical elements in my films already, but this one I want to do straight out singing and dancing, beginning-to-end high-stepping, wailing musical," Lee told CinemaBlend.

The "Malcolm X" helmer recently directed a music video for Prince's previously unreleased track "Mary Don't You Weep".
