Playing someone a Prince song...

I've just been bombarded with Bob Dylan by a fan of his. He hoped to expose me to the splendour of this man and his musical talent. Wonderful.

You have to choose ONE Prince song to play to the unconverted - which would you choose?

A chart hit?
A classic?
A new cut?
An album favourite?
A b-side?

One Song. What'll it be?

A Bob Dylan esk song. Maybe something off the truth album.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

I tried to avoid the falsetta songs--that wigs a hetero man the fuck out.

Something with not too much screaming--that annoys people who are not used to it.


Then I pay attention to what their musical tastes are before making my selection.

show him the Rock an Roll Hall of Fame clip.
If he's good enough for the rest of The Travelling Wilburys he should be good enough for Bob.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

I think that the SOTT movie version of ICNTTPOYM would be a good starting point. Or, The Cross off the Lovesexy Tour.

On album... I reckon I'd try either Let's Go Crazy or Forever In My Life. Both stupendously excellent cuts.

Friend of mine is a Bob Dylan fan and he really liked 'The love we make'
(Little Richard enters the stage)
Homer: Purple Rain!!
Little Richard: Shut up!
Homer (to Marge): Oh my God, Michael Jackson just told me to shut up!
