WTF?! Hideous cover of Sometimes It Snows In April!

http://artistinfo.spinner...l=2:576473

Some chick named "Amar" did a horrid dance mix cover of "Sometimes It Snows In April".

Why doesn't Prince sue people who do atrocities like this?! lol.

Because it's legal as long as WB and Prince get their royalties.

I know what you're saying though. I hate techno covers of Prince.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Yeah, me 2...

I hate techno covers of anything...including Prince's version of "Everyday Is A Winding Road". U either write it techno, or leave it as it originally was... that's why we have Moby. biggrin

I can relate...just heard the MXM cover of 'Nothing Compares 2u' and it bites. I couldn't make it thru the first verse without skipping ahead.

The original isn't actually a garage remix..it took me ages to find it, but if you have access to the Hed Kandi series of albums, it's on Winter Chill 3.. It's not that heinous really..

Prince's version of "Everyday is a Winding Road" is anything BUT techno!

the worst covers I heard were on a collection called "If I was Prince." They were all sung in the "I'm gonna die" voice.

Thank god i didn't buy that. I always see it floating around Sam Goody, but the artwork alone made me suspicious. Thanks for the heads up.

If you go here: http://www.geminidj.com/index2.shtml

you get a GOOD techno cover of Sexy Dancer! Just descovered it this minute! (I'm bored at work playing solitaire and waiting for 'round1' of my 2002 concert experience tonight!

wicked.

p.s. Don't flame me for liking this cover. If you don't like it then unfortunately you have personal problems. wink
