Due to a terrible memory, I can't remember what the cover was, but it was playing in a local store and was one of those store-only mash ups of a Prince song. It made me critique it out loud and I was alone.

At first I was tempted to agree - awful, awful, awful BUT then I thought if I heard this live and I were somewhere hot & sunny with a cocktail in hand and the sea lapping at my feet then I think I'd find it pretty cool biggrin

This is actually a nice reggae version of the song. Gimme that energetic guitar solo at the end and I'm even more straight.

Fucked up

I thought this was about Prince's version of One of Us or Everyday is a Winding Road

eek this version of Purple Rain sounds like a nightmarish return to the realm of UB40 or Big Mountain
