Yes, because it was a different take. I'd rather hear a different arrangement/instrumentation than a carbon copy. Sometimes I think you miss the point of having fun doing a song you like and reinterpeting it in a way that hasn't been done. Have you heard his cover of Let's pretend we're married?

Let's put it this way: Mahaffey imo is the best at doing Prince reworks,period. There is no one on this board who would be able to TOUCH him. If he was commissioned to make a Prince covers project he would probably get the org talking of all the songs that he covered that no one covered and probably get the thumbs up from everyone in the NPG. Yes, he deserves his due as a artist/producer/engineer/musician/songwriter.

Someone put up some more of his Prince covers

You misjudged him too quick,my man.

Someone has to like it. We got some ukele haters in here It's meant to make you tilt your head.

Anx, has to like it.

The guy killed the emotion out of the song.

I don't know what you are talking about, cuz I don't travel much by way of pixel..I luv the Ukelele.

My favorite song is: "The Ukelele Man."
It goes...
I used to be a drifter.
12 string guitar was always by my side
played with a lot of pride and people cried...
and one night at a party...I heard this strummin' sound some Ukelele fun...
so I started singing along with everyone....
The Ukelele man...wants to hold your hand....
The Ukelele man...is what I've been since then...

Tony "O."

Excellent.

Thanks for the headz up. I love what he does with the bass notes. Spread the word.

i thought it was nice..
at first i thought, it was Tame playing the xylophone rocks in the creek,

Hahaha, that's funny, the xylophone rocks in the creek.

And btw, I like this version, I bet my son likes it too.

No stress, that's what it feels like.

I actually liked it. Mainly because it wasn't another guy covering Prince going "Look at me!!!!! I can be just like Prince!!!!".....I hate covers like that.

This although though not my style was still enjoyable. Good twist on the songs vibe...and oddly enough when I listened to it the play count was at 3121...no joke

They would...

oh god. i don't mind this kinda music every once in a while , but they should leave my prince songs alone .

17 Days is possibly my favorite Prince song (it's definitely in the top 3), and I love this version. It's a completely different vibe from the original, and I like that. Hearing the rain falling in the Hawaiian rainforest in the background is nice. I love sElf's music, and his cover of "Gotta Stop (Messin' About)" is one of THE best Prince covers ever.

Interesting, I like it!

17 days is such a cool song, but u know i cannot get this out my head..
THIS VERSION! NOOO! it's doing my nut

The more I listen to it the more I like it

I loved the way he flipped it...totally awesome.....i hated it when i read it was a remake.....HEARD IT and fell in LOVE.....2 thumbs up....WAY UP!

It's rather..."bouncy"...for such a sad song.

Jimmy Buffet/Prince....AWESOME>..NEVER thought I'd heAr this!.....lol.....(sarcasm is ripe in this sentence...k....)

thought that was quite nice. always nice to hear a bit of variation in a cover, and that managed it just fine (though didnt like the chant bit after the chorus) nicely sung too, could feel a bit of emotion in it.
