"everywhere" from the rainbow children...i like the song, but it sounds more like a good contemporary gospel act than it does prince.

Do other people count?

I have to say the one song most non-fans have expressed surprise about is "The Cross".

When I first heard Peach I didnt think it sounded like Prince's voice for a while.

I think for me it was "Ronnie Talk to Russia", that song really cracked me up. When I first heard it on the radio, I was lost. I could not believe that it was Prince. OF course once I got the tape, then I realized that it was him.

It was Peach for me, too! A few years ago I downloaded that "goldenboy" video from kazaa that uses Peach as a background song. At the end it said the song was by Prince and I was shocked! omg
I mean, like, where is the sun?

Cradams

When i first heard a snippet of "My Name Is Prince" on the radio, and in particular, "My Name is Prince and I am Funky!" I thought it was a parody.

Basically, someone who had got a great beat together and was taking the piss out of Prince for thinking he was so great.

Well, you can imagine the silly video that would go with it.

Thieves In The Temple didn't sound 2 me like Prince when I first heard it. A harmonica in a Prince song? That one caught me off guard a little...

The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

"when doves scream" took me by surprise, even though it was just him goofing around at a soundcheck or rehearsal or whatevs...

If you are old-school, Thieves In the Temple, is quite prince-like.

It is those bland works he does like "money don't matter tonight" that I could believe was someone else. Prince is about energy and when he gets mellow I will turn his stuff off.

it's an outtake from a rehearsal or soundcheck (i forget which) that's been included on a bunch of different bootleggage collections...it's basically a punk version of "when doves cry" - a very well done and funny punk version, might i add.
