I repurchased a couple of early prince CD's this week. Controversy and 1999. And it struck me as a musician how well some of these tracks are timeless.

After the other years 'I Would Die For You' by Space Cowboy and a plethora of Prince-like rip offs I think Private Joy, Lets Work, Somthing in the Water and Lets Pretend We're Married could be massive hits with a funky-house-pop-rework (i'm really into my electro at the moment and 1999 was at least 5 years ahead of its time!!)

What you guys think?

As much as I hate the hip-hop trend, I wouldn't mind hearing "Controversy" totally redone with a hip-hop beat and with Christina Aguilera doing the vocals. I don't know why, but I just think she'd do a great job doing the song.
