What MJ song would you like Prince to cover most and why?

Having heard Prince recently perform, "Shake Your Body," it dawned on me as a big Michael Jackson fan, Prince is one of the few people who I would LIKE to hear cover some of Michael's music. I think simply because Prince's voice is distinct (not the same) like Michael's was. (Hear loudly, I don't think they sound alike by any means, just saying they both have/had distinct unmistakeable voices.)

That being said, what is the one MJ song you would like Prince to cover and why?


I think for me, it would be, "Human Nature." Simply because, the same way Prince totally revamped, "One Of Us," I think hearing his take on "Human Nature" would be simply fascinating. My other choice would be "Dirty Diana," simply because, it seems when I think of Prince's music, I think of kind of agressive themes in his lyrics and "Diana" or even perhaps "Billie Jean" would seem right at home for Prince IMO.

I'd like him to cover this as a tribute to Michael and himself.

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot dead
Everybody's gone mad

All I wanna say is that They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that They don't really care about us

Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Jew me, Sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, Kike me
Don't you wrong or right me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me

All I wanna say is that They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that They don't really care about us

Some things in life they just don't wanna see

I think Prince could probably tackle any of the slow jams or love songs.


It would be nice to finally hear an MJ ballad that sounds like he actually really means it. lol

I could definitely see him doing a killer version of "Dirty Diana"...
That song seems to me to be very suited to Prince's style and he could absolutely tear it up on guitar on that song.

Human Nature, because Prince is very weird and I'd like to know why he does some of the odd things he does.

Why in the fuck is he hiring call girls to read the bible to them? My guess is maybe he'll get his witness quota in without having to knock on doors. lol
