That's the first one I thought of as well...

Prince doing DancingIntheDark,Secret Garden,57 Channels,Candy's Room,Thunder Road "the part that goes "i got this guitar & i learnt how 2 make it talk. (enter wild prince solo here)."... or Lonesome day.

Bruce doing I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man.
E*Street would mash that one out bigtime!

Bruce- "Days of Wild"
Prince-"spare parts"

I could see Prince covering Human Touch.

Prince would do "I'm On Fire" so beautifully.

This is a great post. I love both of them.I can picture some of these really well, but others would just be way too funny. Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it.

Supernova said:

I know what you mean, but those songs are done with country arrangements (slide guitar and fiddle), so he's staying true to the character of the song. He also adopted the same vocal style on "Darlington County", if you listen closely.

Prince could do Tenth Avenue Freezeout. Add it to the WNPG playlist...

Springsteen: Gotta agree with Sign O the Times or maybe Pop Life?

Prince: New York City Serenade or If I Should Fall Behind

prince: jersey girl
springsteen: billy jack bitch

Jersey Girl is a Tom Waits song that Bruce Springsteen occasionally covers and included on his first live set.

Supernova said:

So am I, and believe you me, there are a TON of folks out here with those accents.

Not lately. Did he invent that phrase?

JohnnyTheFox said:

Not all of the songs I'm thinking of. Like "High Hopes"...a song like "Pink Caddilac" lends itself to a country vocalist though. It still sounds silly to me on some of his songs though.

SWANG said:

Originally from New Jersey??? You're saying a ton of folks originally from New Jersey have Southern accents?

Supernova said:

Originally from and still live in New Jersey. I live closer to NYC now, so you'll find most of the folks in my area speak quite differently than in Monmouth county where I am (and Bruce is) origianally from.

You could mistake some Jerseyans for southerners. Not all, but definitely the Freehold folks!

-SWANGsays'yeehaw'

JonBonJovi is another jersey native who's voice ,both speaking & singing has that southern sound.

i think it is just a jersey accent some Jersians have.

PRINCE: Thunder Road. A real rocking version. DANG that would be great.


BRUCE: The Cross. let it go on for about 8 minutes.

Gotta Keep 'Em Seperated!!

I love Prince,

I've tried to get into Springsteen, but he has NOT made
ANYTHING that catches MY ear...(& NO, I have NOT seen him
live & will not) & just don't see or hear what the buzz
is about in Bruce's music ...although,

I'm sure he is a nice person..

John Couger at least ROCKS!

SWANG said:

OK. But still...he'll use it on some songs and his real voice on others.

funkyfish said:

Prince mentioned Bruce Springsteen when he was in Copenhagen for One Nite Alone. When the audience was cheering and clapping he said " stop clapping this ain´t Bruce Springsteen" and smiled. Bruce had been in Stocholm a few days before the P concert in Copenhagen.

easy now...!

COUGAR!!!
