prince covers a beattle song???

If prince would cover any beattles song which one should it be?? I really thought prince kicked ass at the rock and roll hall of fame with his part on "my guitar gently weeps" so that would be my pick. What about u????? (this is a "what if question" so those who do not think prince should do any covers need not reply).

Sorry, I just gotta say "Beatles" not "Beattles"

I'd like to hear him do Strawberry Fields

His falsetto might be good for Baby You're a Rich Man

or I Should Have Known Better

'And I Love Her' played on the Rhodes with a jazzy guitar noodling away on a quiet-night tip.

He'd probably do 3 continuous songs blending into each other.

StrawberryFields (in his high pitched falsetta), Yellow Submarine (like Starfish and Coffee), and Drive My Car (in the style of The Work Pt.1)

Taxman. It already has a funky bassline, I know P could vamp that one up and make it a smelly jelly.

He already wrote a Beatles' song with Paisley Park. wink

The natural extension would be a remake of Strawberry Fields.

I'd love to hear him do Revolution. Just see how he pulls the scream off at the beginning.

Luv & Peace,

I Want You (She's So Heavy) - one of the greatest songs ever recorded. It'd be hard even for P to live up to that but he could try.

Revolution would also be cool.

I read (I think in RS) that P claimed he'd never heard "While My Guitar" till he was sent the tape to prepare for the Hall of Fame gig. What is that arrogant BS???? What, he called an album "The Black Album" but never heard "The White ALbum"? What, during that Beatles-esque supposedly W&L influenced period of '85-'87, he never listened to arguably their greatest album??? What, as a student of "Musicology" he ignored one of the most ground-breaking, experimental, iconoclastic brilliant pieces of recorded plastic???? Who's he kidding????

It sounds like he was hinting he only listens to Black music, like the Beatles aren't worthy of him devoting time to listen to. What an a-hole!!! What, is he denying their undeniable influence on him, now??? Fuck, his label's called "Paisley Park" for fuck's sake!

Sorry, I guess the memory of that comment got me a bit irate lol

How is "Let It Be" religious? The line about 'Mother Mary' is about Paul's mother, Mary McCartney. Nothing more, nothing less.

My choice of song as well. It's funky, with anti-man-in-charge kind of lyrics and it's got
some kick-ass guitar solo's going on.

Prince could rip that up.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps
