What do you think? I think it's not stylish enough to be classy, it's more like trash. But some guys would love this video. I think we all will agree that the music in this video is not even near the Prince-version.

I think there was a thread here about what Prince music is really strippable to. Here it is.

The video didn't go with the song - there's nothing controversial about sex, it's used to sell everything these days.

Pretty decent cover though, sounds like the same dudes that did Nasty Girl and A Love Bizarre, forget what they were called now.

Whew! I'm wet now!

iTs a note for note remake. They added absolutly nothing to the song and cant pronounce "Controversy"...

Uggh I can't see it...and judging from the responses I AM REALLT MISSING OUT!

which band is this ?

It comes from a group called Future Tiny wave.
I kinda like this version, it sounds like the Freestylers did it.

The freestylers had this really "Prince" sounding song called "Push up" which had a melody similar to "Controversy" and lyrics similar to "Uptown" I figured it the best Prince song that Prince never wrote.

Here are the lyrics for "Push up"

I think I saw your body before I saw your face,
The kind of moves you made where wakin up the place,
Then you favourite song come one the one you love,
You come over to me,
Looked in my eyes and said for sure,
You had your hands all over my body tonight,
You didn't care about respectability,
With people staring cos you really made a seen,
It must of looked liked we were doin it for real.

You Said,
Where I come from we don't play around,
And when its time to party we know how to get down,
And where were goin baby you don't have to worry bout a thing,
Take my hand,
Move your body up and down,
And,


Push Up
Your body, Your body next to mine
Push Up
I gotta make that sexy booty mine
Push Up
And shake it, baby shake that ass
Push Up
I love when you feel like getting nasty.


Just like drug you work with my reality,
You where a figment of my sexuality,
I know your capable of blowing down the mic,
So excuse me when you talk to me I seam preoccupied.

Cos,
Where I come from we don't play around,
And when its time to party we know how to get down,
And where were goin baby you don't have to worry bout a thing,
Take my hand,
Move your body up and down,
And,


Push Up
Your body, Your body next to mine
Push Up
I gotta make that sexy booty mine
Push Up
And shake it, baby shake that ass
Push Up
I love when you feel like getting nasty.


Where I come from, no, we don't play around,
No No,
And where I Come from, yeah, we get down, we get down,
So move your body up and down and


Push Up
Your body, Your body next to mine
Push Up
I gotta make that sexy booty mine
Push Up
And shake it, baby shake that ass
Push Up
I love when you feel like getting nasty.

Push Up
Your body, Your body next to mine
Push Up
I gotta make that sexy booty mine
Push Up
And shake it, baby shake that ass
Push Up
I love when you feel like getting nasty.

I remember Push Up, it was a fun track.

Future Tiny Wave is a Belgian dance-project.
This vid was posted at HQ already a month ago.

The video itself is a hit and miss (no pun intended!).

But I like the cover version of this Prince classic. Will it ever be release in America?
