i cant figure out if this is big news or not.....i mean.....

why do a cover of a song that nobody really cares for in the first place?

'Creep' would have been ideal but probably harder for Prince to get permission from Radiohead

all he had to do to get Tommy James and the Shondells' permission was go to the nearest casino http://www.tommyjames.com/tours.php

Really, you would think Prince might have learned from Emancipation not to lead with a cover... confused

I believe it might have been his last top 40 Pop appearance, too (outside of the re-release of 1999), but I remember the perception from some sources, at the time, that he needed to use someone else's song to have a hit. ...and then he couldn't muster one after that.

I've always thought of Prince's videos since TMBGITW that he's an underrated video maker, but he's never been the best - I don't think he strives to be, though.

and this video probably didn't cost all that much to make - it looks like the type of unreleased video people used to talk about releasing.

Because we don't ALL live in USA. And we have paid just as much or possibly MORE than US fans. It is great for you guys, thats cool. It IS NOT GREAT for us. So thats why the negativity..

Just for the record, I like the track and the video is non-offensive.

The video is reminiscent of the Tommy James and the Shondells original. I like it and loved Prince's version of the song the first time I heard it a few months ago.

It sure beats the original and the Joan Jet version. Let's face it, how many of us have ever heard of the song before now anyway (yes I know there are a couple, there always is...)?

Radio 2 will play it at some point no doubt but it's not gonna get Radio 1 airtime (who cares) as he's way too old to be played by them (regardless of the dinosaur that is Pete Tong).
