We've all heard Prince and the band doing covers of several songs (both on record and live in concerts). Some good ones, some bad ones - but all depending on your own personal tastes.

My question is, what song would you actually like him to sing/play? Pick a song, any musical style you wish, that you think our boy would do a good job on.

My first choice is "Reasons" by EWF.... Can you imagine Prince screaming those lyrics in concert?

"Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
our feelings won't disappear

Oooh! And after the love games have been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

And in the morning when I rise,
no longer feeling hynotized
For no reasons, our reasons, our reasons
have no pride"

Debaser by the Pixies.

I don't know if he would do a good job with it or not, but I would love to hear Prince do "Ziggy Stardust". I think it's just a curiosity thing with me

I would Scream,Laugh Yell if PRINCE did a Medley of RICK JAMES Hits...But now would He.? He could do SUPERFREAK and BUSTIn OUT at L-7 really Cool .. Also Man,oh Man I would SCREAM and I KNOW he Could DO it GREAT! WORD -UP by CAMEO..PRINCE has the VOICE for it! Give It To ME BABY.....

Which Pixies album is Debaser on? What about Ziggy Stardust? [Yeah, there's a lot out there I haven't heard yet. ]

If anyone has a link to an audio file, like from CDnow.com or something, please post.

Then if he does Bowie I think a PERFECT song IS MODERN LOVE!

Reason's is Sooo Damn High.. I don't Think That's a Good Choice... I also think he should cover some Covers by the COMMODORES and Not BRICK HOUSE..How about ONCE, TWICE, 3 x a Lady? Or Easy? Something Romantic and Sweet.

"Reasons" is one of the songs that I play when I'm alone in my car, on a long car trip. It is guaranteed to keep my awake and singing my lungs out. Now, I can't really sing, but I can hit those high notes just fine. Me thinks that Princey can too.

has he ever covered The Beatles?+

During the acoustic set of his show, I would actually scream like luutlee guulll if he did GnR'S Patience. It would also be cool for him to replace "Soul Man" with "Hold on, I'm coming". The horns breakdown is tooooo FOOOOONNNNNKAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!

..."She Sells Sanctuary"-The Cult...
..."Wild Horses"-Rolling Stones

i'd like him to cover 'whats going on' by marvin gaye in funky style with a massive extended instrumental section in the middle.

i love everylittle thing about you
by stevie
it's third track on
fufillingness first finale

Testify - Rage againts the machine. That solo is pure Prince

I'd love to hear him do a cover of KISS by Tom Jones...

It's the third track on Music Of My Mind. Third track on FFF is Too Shy To Say.

I'm with you! Ziggy would be hot. I really like that Prince did that LEd Zeppelin Cover, I think he favors the R&B stuff to much so more rock covers would be cool. Also The Beatles cover on the Rock & Roll Hall of fame was classic...more rock, less R&B.

FIVE DYNAMITE COVERS I'D LIKE TO C:

drifting - hendrix
life - sly stone
it's all right & gypsy woman - curtis
pretty woman - roy orbison
if you got funk, you got style- funkadelic

I don't know why - I'm not a fan of GnR, but I think his voice would sound good on Sweet child 'O' mine

Hmm...
"Overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder? That would be interesting.

Well in the ONA soundcheck in London he did a version of Thank You (falettinmebemyselfagin)
which I'd always wanted to hear him do, so now I'd like to hear You Caught Me Smilin, or Runnin' Away

She's your cocaine...
Tori Amos

That would be great!!!!

I dreamt he did a song from the Wiz in concert.
It's one of the last songs, with the chorus "Can you feel a brand new Day"
It was sure amazing in my dream.
I have dreamt original music from him in concert that I wish I could remember now.
Always thought he'd be good at Elvis.

Jimi's "Spanish Castle Magic"...which for all I know he may have done in concert before.

Believe it or not.....I'd like to hear him cover Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill".

I heard he should've done Pharell's 'FRONTIN'...if you want to go HIPHOP.
