For me it's gotta be a tie between "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess. Janis Joplin did an incredible version of it, and I'm sure he'd kick as on it too!

The other would be if we could go back in time and have Prince and the Revolution do T-Rex's "Children of the Revolution."


How 'bout the rest of you?

I would like to hear him do a slow tempo rendition of "Help" by the Beatles.
Tina Turner used to do a version of it, and I thought it was kinda cool and wondered how a Prince version would be.

Something fast and furious by Yngwie Malmsteen and maybe some punk rock -- pick a style.

Cute.

Don't ask me why, but 4 YEARS now I've always thought Prince could do a really cool take on Led Zepp's 'Rock and Roll'

I was floored by his rendition of 'Whole Lotta Love at the Manchester ONA show in 2002 (I know many purists weren't too) but I just think it would be so damned cool.

He could really let rip with that. Man, I just get excited thinking about the prospect.

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.

It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't count the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms, opens your arms,
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time...

Winter In America - Gil Scott-Heron. The style would suit his current band.

That ol' funky classic, "Shotgun" (don't know who it was originally done by) would be AWESOME!!! Just imagine: Prince on his guitar, Maceo blowin' his horn, and Blackwell keepin' the beat....

Shotguuun!
Shoot it 'fore they run, now
Do the jerk, bay-bay
Do the jerk, now.

TOO FUNKY!!!!!

i wish he would of sung BAD with jackson

I WOULD HAVE HAD 2 KILL THEM BOTH!!!

Don't ever wish that on somebody!

Roberta Flack's Feel Like Makin' Love - I loved D'Angelo's spin on it. But the original always sounded like a For You outtake. I'd really love to hear it now that he's gotten reacquainted with the electric piano.

NO MORE. s'bad enough he butchered "betcha by golly wow" and "la la means i love you".

"Stay" by David Bowie.

Yessss!

SquirrelMeat said:

that's right--now close your mouth, cuz you cold busted!

Anxiety said:

Yummy. I've always wanted to hear him do "Somebody Up There Likes Me".

I still say "Simply Beautiful", Al Green...

Prince is just too cool for cover songs.

































































Well, on second thought he could cover something by Tears For Fears, just to please the New Wave fans (like myself).

I would like to see P doin' a cover version of "Cat People - Putting Out Fire" by David Bowie (I'm talking of the soundtrack version, not the LD version). IMO that could be really great...

Prince has done a live version of None of Your Business and Shoop.....

'One Nation Under A Groove'- Parliament/Funkadelic
'Bad'-Michael Jackson
'Do you really Wanna Hurt Me?'-Culture Club
'Relax'-Frankie Goes To Hollywood
'Reflex' Duran Duran
'Let's Stay Together'-Al Green
'Imagination'-The Temptations

Testify - Rage against The Machine (He'd rock that riff hard and the solo is already Prince inspired)

Stop, Look, Listen to your heart - marvin gaye. (alone at the piano)
