Data Bank

Has anyone ever heard Prince's version of this song? I really like the Time's version but I have read that Prince's original is superior. I am curious how different is the song? biggrin

Prince's version is very cool -more a group jam than a properly contructed song. Prince seems to improvise rhyming lyrics and at times is really funny, particularly when he describes himself as "dynamite". The track has got some serious funk with who I assume is the Revolution rocking along. The Time's version has a far more sterile, studio feel whereas Prince's "Data Bank" is full of funk.
