Songs that would rule to hear if Prince did MTV Unplugged

i was really bored when i thought about this but i think these songs would sound pretty cool to hear on an MTV unplugged show. Add suggestions if you want.

The Setlist:

Musicology
Beautiful Ones
Little Red Corvette (i think we all know how this sounds acoustic because of the musicology tour)
Raspberry Beret
Cream (he played this in Kansas City 05.03.04 and it was INCREDIBLE!!)
A Medley of the songs from N.E.W.S.
The Rainbow Children
When Doves Cry
I Would Die 4 U (might sound just a little weird acoustic. heheh. But it would be awesome to see everyone in the audience sing along and so the hand motions too!)
If I was your Girlfriend (This especially would sound good)
Call My Name
A Million Days

The Encores:
Nothing Compares 2 U
Purple Rain

I guess we got the closest we may ever get to an Unplugged episode with The Art of Musicology tv special a few weeks ago --

Cream
I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man
Sweet Thing
Proud Mary
Sometimes it Snows in April

Plus the Tavis Smiley show --

Reflection (w/Wendy)

Can't complain about that!!
Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/

GREAT QUESTION.

but PLEASE no more Nothing Compares 2 U.
its just awful.

throw in ADORE, it was amazing during the acoustic set.

have you ever heard the barenaked ladies live acoustic version of When Doves Cry?

Prince should delete the way too short vegas style version from the show and stick it into the acoustic set after little red corvette.

I always thought an accoustic version of Mountains would be cool.

I still think that Prince should release the unplugged set he did at Xenophobia when Norah Jones opened for him. I think it was about 65 minutes or so, so it would make a perfect cd, and I also think that sometime just the before the end of this tour would be a VERY smart move to bring this one out of the vaults! What do other Xenophobia attendees think?
Sorry, I don't have the exact set list in front of me, but it was special.

No, 3 chains o´ gold NO!! the song is great the way it was recorded but it would be too corny acoustic. Only if he changed the melodies. That way wouldn´t sound good without the tons of vocal layers.
