Can someone name me some songs by Prince that people have covered? Even if they just did the song live.

WhenDovesCry2003 said:

Actually, as far as i know there exist more than 500 released cover versions of Prince songs. So, yes, i could name some of them, but the best u can do if u wanna get some idea is 2 go on a P2P & type "prince cover". U can also find incomplete lists on some fans's websites.
Of course, the big hits r "i feel 4 u" by Chaka Khan, Kiss by Trevor Jones & Art of Noise, & "nothing comparse 2 u" bt Sinead O'Connor. The rest goes from very good surprises (a few) 2 pure massacre (most of 'em)...

theres a whole tribute album full of them.

Here's some I have or have downloaded:
(I don't know who some of these people/bands are, so sorry if I mispell any of the names)

When You Were Mine - Cyndi Lauper
I Feel For You - Chaka Khan
Pop Life - Dead or Alive
Bambi - Duff Mckagan
Erotic City - George Clinton
17 Days - Living Colour
Purple Rain - Me First and the Gimmee gimmees
Let's Go Crazy - Refused
Erotic City - Semisonic
Sex Shooter - Coco Electrik
I Would Die 4 U - Space Cowboys
Get it up (the time) - TLC
If I Was Your Girlfriend - TLC
Girl (the time) - Full Force
Make Up (Vanity 6) - Soft Pink truth
Darling Nikki - The Foo Fighters
Raspberry Beret - The Derailers (FANTASTICALLY AWESOME BLUEGRASS VERSION. )
Do Me Baby - Melisa Morgan
Glamorous Life (Sheila E.) - Edens Crush
Let's Pretend We're Married - Tina Turner
Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead Oconner


I also have a live video of a country band doing I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man.

I know there's a lot more, but that's all I've heard.

Whoops forgot some...:

Private Joy - Latoya Jackson
The Cross - Laibach ( German Industrail version)
