Here's a 2007 performance of the song from one of Prince's contemporaries.

i always liked her version of the song....hits more on the melancholy aspect of the song.

Yeah, I love both versions, but I think Cyndi's one is a little more dramatic.

“The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Riverpoet31	I have seen a live-performance of this song by Cyndi Lauper from 1985. It did strike me how dated, and clumsily "eighties" her version sounds. Personally i think Princes version (with the sober production) is much more timeless then Cyndi's version.

I prefer Cyndi's voice on the track. The drama she puts into it. Also, I prefer the bigger sound on Cyndi's version, even if it is "eighties". Sadly, the official version is not on Youtube so I can't post a link.
