Prince has covered a few songs in his time, what other songs would you like him to add his purpleness to?

I'd want him to do an acoustic jam of Conway Twitty's "Slowhand"

Madonna's "Justify My Love"

Usher's "Nice & Slow"

Go West's "King of Wishful Thinking" (maybe retitled to Prince of Wishful Thinking)

Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow's "picture" (maybe with Alicia Keys.)

Mariah Carey - "My All"

Jimi Hendrix 'All along tha watchtower'
Guns and roses 'Sweet child of mine'
Queen 'Bohemian rhapmsody'

Sade-Your Love Is King
Michael Jackson-You Are Not Alone
Elton John-Blessed (Woulda been a nice one for his son.. )

i wonder how Prince would sing Heroes!

also Paint it Black would be cool

the Beatles' Let It Be.
just imagine Prince on the piano singing the chorus in a gospel style.
btw, has he ever covered the Beatles?

I can imagine a Prince'd out version of Bowie's "Be My Wife". Prince could really funk out the guitar and beat and go crazy with it, or he could calm it down into a piano driven ballad. I'm so glad for imagination. ^^;

Led Zepplins - D'yer Maker
Rufus- Tell Me Something Good

haha or maybe when he was he could've redone Britney Spears- I'm A Slave 4 U

I can't think of an covers Im itching to hear
so I guess what he said-

Jesus Children Of America- Stevie Wonder

Andre 3000 : Behold a laddy and Spread,it already sounds like Prince.
Janet's Control,He already did a part of it during the Nude-tour.

Brighter Death Now - "Great Death i"

Actually that's just recorded air conditioning system humming through some FX boxes, but I bet Prince would do a smashin' cover of that one.

I'd like to hear a Prince version of:

I put a spell on you (CCR)
All the love of the universe (Santana)
What do you do for money, honey (AC/DC)
Wish you were here (Pink Floyd)
Thank You (Led Zeppelin)
Who is he and what is he to you (Bill Withers)
Machine Gun (Jimi Hendrix)
Love me two times (The Doors)
Like A Hurricane (Neil Young)
Drive All Night (Bruce Springsteen)
Under my thumb (Rolling Stones)

no bullshit ass mariah carey or usher covers for me!

Never mind "cover" songs.

What I would LOVE would be an official release of tracks he wrote for other artists, but is singing himself. Like:

I Hear Your Voice
Allegiance
Baby You're A Trip
Desire
Open Book
Uh-Huh
5 Five Women

I know a lot of these are available on bootleg, but I'm talkin' about crisp, clean, clear versions; that I could play without fear of an reprisal from Londell.

That would be THE BOMB.

But that won't happen until.....
