A new take on a classic Prince song

Prince hates covers (unless he's the one performing them rolleyes ) but I'm always a sucker for a new take on a Prince classic.

Enjoy if you dear machinegun

Hey, it works surprisingly well. Reminds me some of the jokier songs Al Jourgensen has done with Ministry and Revolting Cocks.

Prince doing covers = Yes, please. Covers doing Prince = No, thank you.

I think this part is misunderstood. What Prince hates is that covers can be commercially released without the songwriter's permission.

I would respectively direct you to the 7:30 mark of the linked video.

8:15 Mark:

George: "There should be one version of music."

Prince: "You would think..."

Gotta add another cover or two I just stumbled upon. More of a mashup. I think you'll like this one if you haven't already heard it before:
