LOVING this by the way.

I would like to hear him do some Annie Lennox:

Why
Precious
Primitive
There Must Be An Angel Playing With My Heart
Miracle of Love
Last Time
You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart
Shame

TRON said:

Those are all good picks.

Others that I think might work are:

I Remember You
Brand New Day
When the Day Goes Down
Here Comes the Rain Again
Satellite of Love (though it's not Annie's originally)

even more berlin:
the metro
tell me why
torture
will I ever understand you
you don't know
like flames
take my breath away
trash
when love goes to war
hideaway
sex me, talk me
pink and velvet
when we make love
touch
now it's my turn
rumor of love
pictures of you
in my dreams
for all tomorrow's lies
fall
lost in the crowd

I would love to hear Prince to "Why Can't I Be You?" by the Cure.

TRON said:

Those sound great! I doubt he'd sing about time falling "wanking to the floor" though.

Moonbeam said:

Probably not now, you're right. Most of these he'd probably not do. But the guitar in "Time" has always reminded me of Prince circa 1984. I would love to hear Bowie cover Prince as well. The possibilities are limitless.

Billie Jean. Seriously. He did a snippet of it with Maceo at the Seattle soundcheck. I think he could really funk it up.

um...Muskrat Love?

I've always wanted him to cover the Beatles' "Taxman" but
that would not be an odd choice. In fact, back in 1995 it
would have been a perfect choice. He could have worked
that guitar solo so well it would have been amazing.

I guess an odd choice would probably be something like
"Sunday Morning" by The Velvet Underground & Nico or
hey, perhaps even "Take a Walk on the wild Side" by
Lou Reed. I'd like to hear Prince work those tunes.

And just for kicks, I would like him to try and work the
Cure's "A Forrest" during a soundcheck with all the lights
down. I wonder what he would do with that song.

Anarchy In The UK. Just to hear him sing, "I am an anti-christ..."

Pixies-Monkeys Gone To Heavan

Serpentine Fire

Earth, Wind & Fire

buzzcocks, "what do i get?" and "fiction romance"

sex pistols, "sub mission"

x-ray spex, "the day the world turned day-glo"

ramones, "judy was a punk"


it's almost like an old-skool punk/new wave thing on this thread!


beat on the edit.

Steppenwolf - "Magic Carpet Ride"

CalhounSq said:

That's my joint!!! Especially the extended version!

How about Redbone's "Come and get your love?" I know this isn't an "odd" choice, but I would love for Prince to cover some Sly & the Family Stone, particularly "If you want me to stay" or "Stand."

UptownDeb said:

Me too I actually don't think it's an "odd" choice, he'd kill it if he covered it IMO

x-ray spex, "oh bondage up yours". he could have candy dulfer on the sax parts.

Sex Dwarf- Soft Cell
I'm the King of the Swingers- King Louie (Jungle Book)
Turning Japenese- the Vapers
Prince Ali- The Genie (Aladdin)
If I only had a brain- Scarecrow (Wizard of Oz)
T.U.R.T.L.E. Power- Someone? (Main song of the The Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle film)
Can't touch this- MC Hammer

Classic! I would love to see shim try funkdafy these... Although he wouldnt need to with the Disney songs... cos they sooo catchy and great

I think the man would really kill it if he did a cover of American Skin(41 shots) by Bruce Springsteen, I always believed it would suit Prince´s style and also some of Janet Jackson ballads like When we oooh or Making love in the rain,what do u think??

Generation Landslide - Alice Cooper
I Saw The Light - Todd Rundgren

fake friends- joan jett & the blackhearts

'china girl'-bowie
'dancin' with the big boys'-bowie
