Incubus releases prince cover

did you guys know that incubus has included a cover of prince's 'let's go crazy' on their latest release.

I'm not sure if it has been discussed here because i've been away.

Incubus are a pretty talented bunch of guys and a few of the band members come from a jazz background. If you look at their cd release of "look alive" you'll see that they aren't just a typical rock band and do like to experiment.

i came across a site that has a preview button of them doing a live cover of 'let's go crazy' and with all respect to them it doesn't sound to good.
i mean it must be fun to play and i congratulate them on choosing to include a prince cover because they have covered alot of artists.. i think even portishhead but 'let's go crazy' would be a pretty tough song to cover well because i think prince brings a real playfulness to that track which makes it work well.
