Crimson and Clover

I was wondering what people thought of prince's cover of this song? I personally like it, probably the best cover he has done on any studio album.

Really like this song, love the VOX and solo. However, I've never dug the 'wild thing' addition.

That is one hot cover! His best studio cover? I can agree with that. I love La La La La La I Love You from Emancipation too.

I love it, prob his best cover, but I agree the Wild Thing part wasn't necessary, it was strong enough as it was.

I really like this song a lot. It's one of my favourite tracks from LOtUSFLOW3R. I loved the arrangement from the 2nd Forum show.

I love it! biggrin It's my mom favorite song and everything, besides MBGIW. Me and her was shocked to shits when we found out that it was a cover from watching My Best Friend's Girl and hearing the original, lol. Man, Prince sure did make it seem like it was his own wink

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

I dig it. Personally wish he would experiment more with vocal distortion and moderation like the underwater effect his voice has in this song.

It's ok. The album it's on is good though.

I like Joan Jett's remake better.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

It's a good song and an awesome video.

One of my favorites.

Sometimes when Prince covers another's song it sound just as a composition of his own,

this is one of them !
