You get 3 wishes. What are they?


I think it'd be loads of fun to hear his take on that Chuck Berry classic, Johnny Be Good.

Also, I kinda think it'd be neat to hear him try his hand at Science Fiction/Double Feature from the RHPS.

And for my completely impossible wish, I'd want to go back in time and hear the Revolution circa 1999 do T Rex's Children of the Revolution. Just cuz.

"Do U Wanna Funk" (Sylvester) - AS IF - but it would be hot.

"Win" (David Bowie) - This would bring tears to my eyes.

"Mountains" (Prince & the Revolution) - I think he'd do justice to this song.

"Yesterday" - The Beatles

Voodoo Chile (slight return) - Hendrix
Crosstown Traffic - Jimi
Helter Skelter - Beatles

So many really....

An all-covers album would be an interesting project for him.

Flashlight(P-funk)
Thanx 4 talking 2 me africa(sly)
Mary Jane(rick james)

Something from the days of punk-rock, pre-1980.

"Shake Your Pants" Cameo

"Rain" TTD

"Burnin'" Rahsaan Patterson, but only if he breaks out the Linn drum machine and flange effects.

I'm not a big fan of him doing covers....I'd rather he didn't.

"iiieee" or "caught a light sneeze" by Tori Amos
"under ice" or "jig of life" by Kate Bush.
"protection" by massive attack and Tracey Thorn


The above songs all require a great deal of emotion to be relayed through the vocals. Prince hasn't made a song that truly moves a person in years. I think this would be a great challenge for him.

he should cover 'emperor's new clothes' by sinead o'connor.

(jeoparday-->) "Alex, I'll take "Stand" by Sly and the Family Stone please!"

That's what I would like to hear Prince cover.

Paint it Black- Rolling Stones
Closer - Nine Inch Nails
Is it Crime? - Sade

Get The Funk Out Ma Face
Fire
If You Want Me To Stay

I'd prefer Prince 2 cover his own songs,but,of course,I love whatever he does!

Something by Kiss.... Something like Firehouse or Strutter.

I hear a bit of Kiss in Prince, some of the showy stuff like Charisma maybe.

Somebody to Love - Queen
Superstition - Stevie Wonder
You Dropped a Bomb on Me - The Gap Band

Didn't P cover this the other day in Vegas?

David Bowie --STAY
ZZ Top--THANK YOU
Chicago--LISTEN

I really like when he played guitar on "while my guitar gently weeps" during the rock and roll hall of fame, so that's my pick.

Suck and Let Go - Peaches (this could have fit perfectly on the 1999 album, done with the way his vocals are on All the Critics... )

Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors - Radiohead (with Camille on vocals )

Crosseyed and Painless - Talking Heads (I would drop over dead )

Little Acorns - The White Stripes (Just to hear Prince sing; "Be like the squirrel girl be like the squirrel, owww, ow, a-a- owww )

and...Pretty much any Vanity 6 or Apollonia 6 song.

Tie me kangaroo down, sport
The theme tune to "Littlest Hobo"
Black Velveteen, by Lenny K

He should do what Rod Stewart is doing and just stick to doing covers.

Zeppelin..."Heartbreaker" or "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"

It would be interesting to hear him cover Dylan. Maybe "Hurricane"

And Hendrix. "Foxey Lady" or "Crosstown Traffic"

Ohhh, God, I'd pay GOOD MONEY to hear him sing "I want to fuck you like an animal"
Damn, I miss the pre-Jehovan Prince.

Me.

Oh wait, you meant a song...

It would sound so sexy, in his deep voice! I too would pay good money to hear him

What's sad is that there ARE probably fully mastered versions of him doing a lot of these songs, just gathering dust in the vault.

Hit Me Baby One More Time,

Anything by Westlife

Or Akon

The End
