el presidentes version is 100 times better than princes.

listen to it here:http://raspberrypoll.moonfruit.com/

its got a brilliant guitar solo at the end.

El presidente debut album is out now!!!

R&R, first off, welcome to the Org, but with all due respect . . .

Better than Prince and the Rev's version?

I know you're kidding, especially if you've heard PatR's 12" version.

Come on. This belongs on the Shrek 3 soundtrack.

It is entertaining and fun though.

I love the instrumentation alot, esp during the verses. It kind of brings back Prince's arrangement back to basic.

The voices don't work for me, though. Esp the satyrical scream just before that guitar solo.

i liked the scream!!

SPAM!!!

But they're quite content to do lame cover versions.

al their other songs are theirs

glad to hear it.

if you go on the forum you can watch clips of them live

Using drum machines is a good thing.

Moonbeam said:

Some of Prince's most fiercest moments were cuz of drum machines. Can anyone say Ballad of Dorothy Parker?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Or that incredible drum machine in "1999"!

Moonbeam said:

Or pretty much all of his 80's work.

RumAndRaisin said:

Dude.....u r kidding right?

Well, it's cute, but it has nothing on P's version. The guitar is cool, but overall the song is waaaay campy. Like namepeace said, I can totally see Shrek and Donkey dancing to this one.

Its hard to think anyone would enjoy this more that the original..


not to mention, the vocals are so... standard and dull

having said that.. He is tryin to identically copy his version... vocally and musically.. a big no no.. its already been done.. it doesnt need to be done by some blokes who are tryin to get popular by fronting on anothers artists style and song..

If u gonna remake a classic.. u better have a fresh idea involved.. this is sup par doo doo.

He has to be kidding. You can't be serious saying something like that here. Even if you believed it, do you think anyone is gonna agree? Not the best way to market a Prince cover to Prince fans.

I just took a dump in my toilet.. and it sounded just as good as what I heard when I clicked on that link..


but i aint tryin to get rich off someones elses farts...
