he's done "one of us" and "betcha by golly wow " to name a few. what song would you like prince to cover. I really loved when prince did "while my guitar gentle weeps" during the rock and roll hall of fame. would love to hear a full version from him anybody agree/disagree. what u think???

He should steer clear of them. In concert, fine. He's really good at them in a live setting. he hasn't done a good studio cover IMO.

This list could go forever. But I'd have to say Imagine.

I've heard something to that effect. What boot is it on, if any?

Apparently: 'Santiago' - August 17, 1993, Monte del Gozo, Santiago de Compostela

Definitely: 'Act Deux Paris 1993' - September 1, 1993, Palais Omnisport de Bercy, Paris - piano section after 'Delirious', the melody is played before segueing into 'Little Red Corvette'.

I always thought the horns, drums, and overall 'ska-ness' of The Glamorous Life would suit No Doubt. Okay, stone me now.

As for P, I think he should cover Randy Newman's Short People.

I read an interview with Prince earlier this year where he said he'd like to shoot people in the head who do cover versions, so I will say that I don't want him to do any cover versions at all because I don't want him shooting himself in the head (even though he's already recorded his own fair share of cover songs over the past decade).

Thanks for the info, I'll have to look into those. L-Bleu's always kickin' the k'nowledge, and it's much appreciated.

some times cover songs are great. tina turners "proud mary" of ccr is one. would be a shame if she never did that song. elton john's "lucy in the sky with diamonds is another. I also like terrance trent d'rabys "what a wondrful world" too. granted there has been some very bad cover song (especailly from todays music scene) ataris "boys of summer" is just so bad. I do like princes "one of us" better than joan osbourne.

no u did not say pass the dutchie! that would b 2 weird!

it would b cool 2 hear him do lady in my life
or i never dreamed u'd leave in summer

He should cover Rick James or Michael Jackson. No doubt.

There's only one cover song that I would like to see Prince do.

-Voodoo Child (SlightReturn)

Actually, it would be just awsome to him him play this at a small club/aftershow.

Play That Funky Music (Tan Man) ~ Wild Cherry

But he could never do this song now - hell, he can't even sing The Cross without changing up all the words! Anyway, it would be a tough change of gear to pull off after singing about a "theocratic order" and "accurate knowledge of Christ and the Father"!
Not sure whether Prince's "imagination" could still accommodate this song.....

Or even worse, he could change it:
"Imagine you're in heaven,
It's easy if you pray,
Just read the New Translation,
You might get there someday....."

Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhh!!!!

'Testify' - rage against the machine

'so in love' - curtis mayfield

stop, look, listen to your heart - marvin gaye

He should do a medley:


The Wind Beneath My WIngs - Bette Middler
I believe I could fly (duet with William Hung) - R. Kelley
Heresy & Pinion - By Nine Inch Nails
FireStarter - The Prodigy
Damn it Feels Good to Be a Ganster - Ghetto Boyz
mmm mmm mmm mmm - by Crash Test Dummies (But He should do it in falsetta)
