I know you guys will let this band know if they did a good job or not...so thank you in advance.

It's ok, the singer is really into it, but would love to hear the synth stronger and dirtier....i think the synth really carries the song.

That's cool.

The drummer doesn't groove like bobby z does.

He doesn't have to be bobby z.

They suck ass.

But watching the lead singer wiggle around at the beginning made me wonder how it'd sound if Maroon 5 covered it - maybe because the guy has the same kind of lanky build as Adam Levine?

Thing is, I think Maroon 5 could pull it off because Levine sings like a bird; I think he could do the falsetto.

Sigh... why are so many youtube vids so poor in sound quality?

This was so "muddy" sounding I couldn't make any judgment at all.

You know what?

The street cred for even TRYING this cover excuses critical comment.

If idda been there Idda been singin along at the toppa my lungs.......

These guys deserve props just for the intent.

I thought that was going to be horrible, but I dug it. Listened to it several times.

I like the way the band has managed to recapture some of the punkiness of the era the song is from. The shouted vocals at the end work quite nicely. Much better than the "Prince" type of stuff that people have done by relying on their computers.

I actually liked it. Good job whoever they are.

The band had the music right but the fucker up front can't sing!

If I were there I'd be the person who threw stuff and booed and got thrown out by the bouncers.

No. Just...no.

Not everybody can sing as good as Prince does in that song. I didn't mind he "couldn't sing". Least he had the energy. He's kinda cute anyways so yeah whatever.

I think the band nailed it! The lead singer on the other hand... meh.... He doesnt suck or anything and he is cute but... meh.... I need my head sung in a higher pitch!

Lol.

I must confess: Prince's falsetto annoys me.

It was OK. Kudos to them for attempting to sing this.

No funk.

I'd have to agree with a previous post: the synth needs to be much stronger. The synth riff really drives the song. But decent cover version, though!

Soul...........less.

F**k em for distributing unlicensed cover versions online. No wonder Prince is so quick to sue.
