Best of U

Remember when prince performed at the superbowl in 07. I was amazed at the performance.My drunk uncle thought it wasnt Prince and told me it was some cuban they got off the street,now my uncle is 50 and according 2 him Prince hasnt done anything since 1984. Anyways it was great and then I heard him play Best of u,i was sittin there thinking WOW A NEW SONG! cuz i do not listen to the radio. Next day, i find out it was a foo fighters song,so i then track down their version and i was dissapointed. Im guessing Prince sang his version cuz Foo ruined Darling Nikki. I then find a 2 minute sample of prince's best of u and it had a lot of energy and i loved it. so im wondering Why on earth has it not been released? does Prince have to get Foo fighters permission?

He has to get permission from whomever wrote the song.

Foo's ruined Darling Nikki???? eek They took it places Prince couldn't. It is one of the , if not THE, best ever Prince covers....

The way I see it the Foo's made DN even rockier and P made BOU funkier/ more soulful. No harm done either way....

:O Slightly irrelevent to your question, but my mum genuinely thought Prince died twenty years ago and tried to use that in an argument. And I mean, this was a mont after his 21 nights in London razz
Just smoke my cigarette and hush

There is a really weird thread on the .org that talks about how the "Artist" era Prince was not Prince... maybe I'll try to find it (maybe I won't).

Here it is peeps... take a read

I really like the Foo Fighters/Dave Grohl, but in my opinion they did a very poor, lifeless studio rendition of Darling Nikki. They do however, tear the song up in a live setting.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
