Stand Back- Stevie Nicks (With Prince on SYNTHS) Of course!!!

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

I Love the covers that Prince has done so far. It seems like every so often an artist will re-record an oldie. I was surprised yesterday to find out that the song, "Just a gigolo," was written in 1928...that surprised me. This is not a cover I would want Prince to do, I just thought I'd mention it.

Crazy as this sounds, I think that Prince and The Band could do a great cover of "Delta Dawn," by Helen Reddy.

I'd love to hear Prince sing it...I bet the radio stations would open up to it also...It's one of those songs that I think everybody loves.

I would like him to cover the following songs in concert:

Computer Blue (I don't know if he knows this one.)

Old Friends 4 Sale

Fury

Future Soul Song

Beginning Endlessly

Lovesexy

When 2 R In Love

Anna Stesia

Automatic

Let's Go Crazy(the actual song, not him chanting Go Go GO)

Those would be the only cover songs I would want him to do...let Rod Stewart cover everything else. Covers can be a nice nod to a hero in small doses. In large doses, they are horrible.

Funny, I was just thinking of this, this morning. I heard "A Girl Like You" by Edwyn Collins and thought that it would be cool to hear Prince cover that song.

Then again, I don't like when Prince does a lot of covers, so he could pass on it and I'd be okay with it.

I'm firmly planted in denial

He has covered Superstition live. He also covered I Will Follow on Planet Earth. He changed the lyrics, and called it "Guitar."

Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman

Every time I hear this song I'm thinking Prince would nail it!!!!

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

I wish he would cover some songs by prince .

Especially tracks from TGE, Come, and C & D.

No more 'Shhh,' though. A 52-year-old man singing 'I want to do you after school like some homework' is downright creepy!
