...it would b "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure. This is 1 of my favorite songs of all time...the music, background keyboards and lyrics remind me of a vibe Prince would get in2.

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

& the voice he would use is that deep, gruffy tone he has...as in (I think)

part 2 of Wish U Heaven (ya'll know...when he says "Sheila, have the choir hit a long note")

also, the way the rhythm guitar is played in this tune makes me feel like Prince would rock it; do think he would add more distortion though

who knows, maybe 1 day Prince will surprise us

Heaven

Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix

Everyday People - Sly and the Family Stone (he does it live and it rocks)

Orion - Metallica (it's an amazing instrumental)

Prince probably wouldn't do it...

The original is classic and wonderful by itself.

I'd love to hear Prince do, "When you're in love with a beautiful woman," by Dr. Hook.

Love this band.

Ray Of Light- Madonna. I think he'd turn this song amazing. Add his awesome guitar playing skills and the fact that he sings and boom!

Id like prince 2 do Victims by CultureClub and New Religion by DuranDuran.

This.

One of my favorite songs of all damn time.

I. WOULD. DIE.

Studio or live or both...please.

Rihanna seems to like to do Prince covers, so he should do one of hers. How bout Disturbia?

I'd like to also hear his version of the Stones' Paint it Black , how he'd change it around. (Did he ever cover I Can't get no Satisfaction?- that'd be great, too.)

Stand Back>Stevie Nicks with Prince on synths.]

It would be, I think, Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Whiters

it's been interesting to see that others also dig Prince doing other people's tunes now and then. just a step back to "Just Like Heaven"...if I think about the way he sang "All Along the Watchtower" at the Superbowl, that is the kind of voice I hearing him singing The Cure's Tune in.

Now many have been highly annoyed by Prince's doing so many Sly tunes, but after reading about Sly living in a Van in the street by a family member's house; perhaps that is why Prince has been doing it...coz he knows that indirectly, he's helping Sly out *sigh*

For those who did not know, peep here > click

Sly Stone, below

Earth Wind and Fire, WOULD YOU MIND(LOVES HOLIDAY) , and or YOU CANT HIDE LOVE

I'd ask him to do this song called "Head" by this dude named Prince. He may have even heard it himself before.

Seems like he's willing to do ever song but his own GOOD ONES.

good ones

= subjective (you can always visit ya cd collection though)

as for an additional cover >>>

Eyes of the World > Grateful Dead

babe im gonna leave you by led zeppelin

piano ballad?

JUST LIKE HEAVEN - what a tune, yeah it woudl be very interesting to hear that for sure. Katie Melua did a good version of that tune too.

I would be interested to hear a prince cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" - i know difficult as totally iconic to MJ, but nevertheless I reckon a prince cover woudl be very interesting, especially live.

Other tunes would be interesting, would be Sting's 'Fragile' and Sade's "Soldier of Love", I reckon Prince might really rock that tune out.

As an al time studio classic, I woudl love to hear him record a Stevie tune, "Superstition", that woudl be the bomb, saw him do that live in 2007 and Indigo2, he totally nailed it.

Just Like Music

(Gaye)

sexual healing! kissing you! i'm too sexy! i need you tonight! carnation!

"Hard to Handle" preferably a version that has some rock in it.

Prince's Version: "I need some spiritual healing..."

Or it would be Hello, I Love You! by The Doors.

But the thing is, you know Shelby would be the one singing it if he did do this song. Would you still want to hear it?

Well, if it's the NPG y'all r reasoning about (doing covers), & specifically Shelby on voice I would have to say the tune must be:

>

Prince's own: Still Would Stand All Time

I am not sure if Prince has ever performed this live, but it requires a powerful voice that can scale the octaves high and low: & 1 w/ that southern, gospel reverberation (roar)

For a cool Shelby interview about her experiences and also working with Prince, peep this >
