songs waiting to be covered. why the heck does that fool not let people cover that chizz. it's the most poppy stuff he ever did. even more than Rave.

No one is allowed to touch Crazy You, Sexy Dancer and It's Gonna Be Lonely

He doesn't have a say in the matter, unless they want to change the arrangement too much.

Sexy Dancer especially, that song makes a lollipop 2 happy

OTTOMH. the only covers made off of the first two albums was chaka's version of "i feel for you"...and t.c. ellis and his butchering of "bambi"...and peaches & lap-lap redid "sexy dancer" on if i was prince...seems like no one's touched anything off of for you yet.

I agree with you Milty, when I heard song such as "Sexy dancer", I thought this is dying to be remixed, hopefully one day someone will, and, hopefully it won't be a crap job.

"sd" has been redone at least once.

Supernova said:

nobody's done that song justice yet...i'm waitin for that. but who would be fit to remake "sd"?

i'ma say right now that the song is totally off-limits to these new-skool cats, cuz they'd probably go and fuck it up. "sd" ain't a song to be fuckin up.

Um really not a fan of hers, but could you imagine Mariah Carey covering "WITH YOU".
IT aint me, its da tea

DK47 said:

oop! reminded me, jill jones redid "with you"...as for mariah redoin it?


you got that right.

I do remember somebody in the late 80s redid "Still Waiting". Her name was Stormy Jones or something like that. And it wasn't too bad either.

psykosoul said:

Yeah, her name was Rainy Davis. Girl was cute, too.


As for Sexy Dancer being covered, my guess is a lot of bass players have trouble doublin' that bassline.

theres also.....

gayle and gillian, i wanna b ur lover

loleata holloway, i wanna b ur lover

dorothy, still waiting

"It's Gonna Be Lonely" has been (horribly) covered by Princess And The Starbreeze...

Neversin.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Not a soul. Everything about this song is all Prince and all panty-soaking, but the breathing alone (ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh-ahh)...excuse me for a moment.



Exactically.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Except for MC Hammer's (awful) cover track She's Soft And Wet from Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em (also including Pray, which samples When Doves Cry )

Please tell me that isn't really a cover of S&W. I haven't heard it.

As someone else said earlier, Still Waiting is a song that is SCREAMING for a country cover.

Milty said:

I agree on the quality of the albums Milty, but seriously I would kick anyone in the nuts for trying to redo something that doesn't need to be re-done because it's perfect the way it is.

phlix said:

It is, from what i can remember. And i dug it.
No doubt i'll get grief for that. Well, as they say - Bring-it-tha-Fuck-Awwwwwn.

1) the breathin in "sd" makes my booty smile.

2)

booyah said:

i remember both of those cuts! plus i (barely) remember the video for "(she's) soft and wet".

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

It makes my kitty purr.

Milty said:

those songs are all better than musicology and rave.

booyah said:

It wasn't a cover, exactly, but Color Me Badd sampled "Crazy You" on their 'Time & Chance' record. I can't remember the name of the song right now though...

And since Chaka's "I Feel For You" is the most successful cover of a Prince song ever (remember, Prince had written but not recorded "Nothing Compares 2 U" when Sinead did it), you'd think more artists would check out the songs on those early albums.

I believe Color Me Badd redid Crazy You
