When U Were Mine--Cyndi or Prince?

Was listening to "She's So Unusual" last night (one of the best albums of the 80s in my humble opinion) and was wondering what others felt about Cyndi's version.

I think it's fantastic. Really dig Prince's too but I find myself really grooving to Cyndi's.

And y'all?

Dig Mitch Ryder. His version of When U Were Mine is rockinrollinstrollin!! It was one of his cuts on an album Mitch released during da 80's. Eye No it also came out on the HOT DOG movie soundtrax cd.. check it out and tell us what u think..

I like both, but I think I prefer Prince's version. It's got more energy to my ears. I like the sound of hers better, but it just kind of drones on and on a little bit.

I prefer Prince's version.

But on the plus side I think Cyndis cover of 'Money changes everything' is so much better than the original by The Brains

Funny story about this song: A guy that I dated maybe once or twice was talking about the song "When U Were Mine" by Cyndi Lauper. The guy was saying something about how the lyric about Cyndi letting her man wear all of her clothes was amusing. At the time, I don't think either of us knew it was a Prince song. lol
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
