"chaos and creation in the backyard" is still one of my favorite albums of the last 10 years,

coming way ahead of most prince albums released in that time. but still, i don't think that a

colaboration would really be a good fit. i just can't see the point.

Ebony and Ivory

Living together in perfect harmony

Yeah, lets see what Prince can do!!

They should perform to these lyrics:

Let it Be the Beautiful Ones

Say say say The Girl is Mine

Ebony and Ivory Diamonds and Pearls

I want to be her lover in perfect harmony

Shake your body Don't Stop

Till you get enough 2 Come together

From Penny Lane 2 Paisley Park

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Christmas Club Band

On the Run Around the world in a day

in the Pop Life Can Be So Nice

Lady Cab Driver Speed Demon

I want you back yesterday

In all my dreams Lucy in the sky

With Diamonds and pearls before the swine

She's Out of my Strawberry Field Forever

In my Life The Marrying Kind is a Smooth Criminal

She's Leaving Home with a condition of the Heartbreak Hotel

Living in the Erotic City

Dancing Machine Gun Control

Annie Christian Take me with U

Back in the USSR

Generally, if not ALWAYS, people who deem Paul McCartney and other legends as irrelevant HAVE NOT listened to their work. Whenever I hear people say many legends are irrevelent I ask immediately - do you know their albums? - the answer's always NO. It may not be the case for the fellow above, maybe he has good reasons, it's just something that came to mind when I read it. It generally happens.

I think so. There's usually a consensus regarding an artist's period of relevancy, and other phases of his career are therefore considered irrelevant. Same with Bowie in the 70's and Prince in the 80's. Just like Bowie and Prince after their golden age, McCartney has released some amazing work in the 80's and beyond.

Paul's songwriting and Prince's funk: could be an interesting combination!

Yes...very interesting but it may never happen, I thought Prince only wants to work with young people?!

It's a great idea.I've always felt that Prince should do more collaborations with 'real' legends,instead of all these young proteges like 3rdEyeGirl.

I hope this NEVER happens!

McCartney and the Beatles are the most overated pile of crap ever and even if you take my feelings out of it McCartney has been treading water for 30odd years.

I'd like to see Bootsy Collins in the band and Nile Rogers, McCartney wouldnt compliment Prince's style anyway plus he's a proper dickhead.

Somehow I see this bringing out the worst in both parties. Collaborations are often terrible unless you do like Elvis Costello did with McCartney, The Roots, Allen Toussaint, Burt Bacharach, The Brodsky Quartet...and do a lengthy collab, not just a single song.

^ Yeah , Elvis Costello and Prince doing Moonbeam Levels

he was asked on a radio show hosted in prince's home town... it's not like he brought it up

what was he going to say?... "naaa... screw that guy"
