The Air That I Breathe by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood,

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read
Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Me?

I'm kidding. But it might be nice to be tucked in by him, w/ some cookies & milk by the bedside (Oreos, please). Maybe have him sing me a li'l lullaby b4 turning off the lights, just as long as it's not Tambourine. 'Yeah, yeah, 2 bad'. (Nothing against the song, I love it, but my mind needs calm at night. Sweet gentle soothing things, and lots and lots of calm).

the Test-the Chemical Bros.
Speaking in Tongues-Eagles of Death Metal

Super! Thanks for asking

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.


Oooooh, Protection would be an excellent choice! I can hear him doing it acapella in my head.

But how can you say he hasn't made a song that truly moves a person in years???? Do you actually read any of the posts in these forums?

I would like Prince to cover these 3 songs. First, I like him to take on Led Zeppelin's song "Ten Years Gone". I love that song and can see Prince putting his on spell on it. 2nd, will be George Clinton's classic "Quickie". Last but not least, a Marvin Gaye song. Doesn't matter which one, They're all good. As a honorable mention, the Isley Bros. "Take me to the next phase". blunt
Peace and be wild!

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. nod

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

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. woot!


Everybody here wants You ... Jeff Buckly, nice soulful song that Prince could do well.

Hot Stuff ... Rolling Stones, 70's funk riff and would be interesting to here what Prince would with this.

Give it away now ... Red Hot Chilli Peppers, great funky bassline and ready made song for Prince to get funky with

Superfreak ... Rick James , classic funk.

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

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


"Hard Luck Woman"? "Hotter than Hell?" "Do You Love Me"?

Interesting. I never would've thought of Kiss.

I thought of that as well, and avoided listing them because I was beaten to the punch. There are a lot of paralells with Prince and Bowie - androgynous sex symbols, pioneers, theatricality, movies, long-term success/legacy, make-up, existing somewhat outside the mainstream, always being smarter/one step ahead, wealth, chameleon-like public personas...

My Bowie cover list:

Moonage Daydream
Heros

"Do U Wanna Funk" (Sylvester) - AS IF lol - 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.

You want him to cover himself? confuse

hmmm

Worth a shot. smile

I'm convinced all he really needs is a kick in the pants, figuratively speaking. Something that'll light a match at his designer heels and give him a real challenge.

Man, wouldn't it be cool if he pulled a Bowie and worked with Trent? Maybe patch things up with the guy first, but then! It could be greatness. nod
