I know he has covered The Rolling Stones, Amy Winehouse, Joan Osbourne, Sheryl Crow etc.....but never heard him cover a Bowie song?

no, but he NEEDS to cover "win" from the young americans album before i have to sit down and write an angry letter!

I'd love to see Prince doing "Be My Wife" or "The Width of a Circle"

Prince doing "The Width of a Circle"

"STAY" with all the crazy leads and congas
needs to be done

i'd be a mess if that happened.

Or "Neuköln" done with a Theramin?

MikeMatronik said:

could you imagine the funk faces prince would make if he tried to play a theramin? he'd bust a blood vessel!

Anxiety said:

why.. dont you think he could pull it off?

luvsexy4all said:

no, i'd be a mess from being so excited!

Anxiety said:

And then would segue into a dazzling performance of "The Motel"!

he needs to cover Time.

Anxiety said:

oh ok.... i thought u were saying IT would be a mess...freakin hot mess

luvsexy4all said:

no, that would be ME.

In a sense, he has. On his cut Scarlet Pussy. Listen to Bowie's Diamond Dog's albums intro and then listen to Scarlet Pussy.

I'd love to see Prince cover Bowie, since I think he got a lot of his androgyny from him! I think I spelled that wrong.

p.s.
he could also cover bowie's Magic Dance from the labyrinth.

At the end of the track "I wanne melt with u", he sounds like Bowie ('Fame' period)
"Meeeeelting, meeeelting, meeeelting..."

At least 2 me

i was gonna say that i see more of little richard's androgyny in prince, but then i remembered that david bowie is a HUGE little richard fan, so i guess they got their liquid eyeliner from the same well of inspiration.

i dunno, Prince and Bowie are kinda from different planets. I'm not sure that merging them would work

i mean, can u imagine Bowie doing a Prince song? "Kiss", for instance,


One Bowie song that Prince could actually redeem is "Never Let Me Down." Imagine him singing that as a breezy, mid-tempo, in his falsetto.... would be nice.

NorthernLad said:

i think it would be easier for prince to cover bowie than vice versa. it's difficult for anyone to cover prince, because his prince-bonics sound so silly coming out of anyone else's mouth unless they're part of the high heeled purple boot camp. MAYBE bowie could do justice to "nothing compares 2 u"? but i doubt it...

Anxiety said:

I love it!

i've said it many times before...Prince needs to do Moonage Daydream - Princey would tear up the guitar on that track

jstar69 said:

I would have a coronary right there. That's one of my all-time favorite songs and hearing Prince sing "I'll be a rock and rollin' bitch for you" would make me permanently happy!

Moonbeam said:

Moonage Daydream is soooo good. I think he could do Lady Grinning Soul justice too.

NorthernLad said:

you've never heard that before?

Anxiety said:

I could see Bowie doing some of Prince's more dramatic songs. Imagine something like...

The Question of U
Old Friends 4 Sale (either version)
Anna Stesia
Strange Relationship
Under the Cherry Moon

or something like that. I think he'd pull them off well.

"17 Days" would be hot just for the line 'all I've got is 2 cigarettes...'

Anxiety said:

I'm with you on that. It's one of my most favoritest songs ever. And I've always said that he'd do a killer "Somebody Up There Likes Me".

GangstaFam said:

ooooh, good one. best one i've seen mentioned yet, either way.

Dolphin's music sounds like a Bowie song.
