Nothing compares to you - I prefer it when Prince sings it, not crazy about Sinead O'Connor's version, have never heard the original.

Nasty Girl - Love this song because it has such an energy to it, it hasn't aged either - it was covered by some pop-y dance crowd a few years ago and they pretty much stuck to the original (without the rudeness!) Was v. pleased when I discovered it was featured on my recently purchased workout DVD biggrin

I find Celine Dion very difficult to listen to, with all the screaming and stuff, but that song is ace!

"Do yourself a favour", but I don't really remember who he wrote it for, I think it was someone from the Time =)

Prince didn't write Do Yourself A Favor. It was a cover of Pepe Willie's song "If You See Me"
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Is that true? eek I've allways thought it was Prince who wrote it, I even read it somewhere a while ago, but anyways thank you for telling me who wrote it, so I won't go around telling people it's Prince, when it isn't razz

And the other person who recorded was Jesse Johnson for his Shockadelica album.
