Indie Release [Level 4]
Videoskooter put a great list together of songs that Prince has written for others in the thread: http://www.discomusic.com/forums/showthread.php/25124.
So what is your favorite Prince cover or song written by Prince for another artist (i asked the question in the thread above, but it warrants its own thread?
Some of my favorites
Chaka Khan - Feel for U
Sheila E - Love Bizarre, the Glamorous Life
Time - The bird, jungle love
sheena easton - sugar walls
vanity 6 - nasty girl
Art of Noise/Tom Jones - Kiss

Didn't hear the whole list... but for me the definitive Prince-for-hire track is, hands down, "Manic Monday" for The Bangles.
A beautiful recording, also.
It don't mean a thing (if ain't got that swing)

my fave, BY FAR...
"Love...Thy Will Be Done" by Martika...shoulda been huge...languid, slow beat, rising in intensity as song goes on to an almost religious experience...
and Martika's HOT, to boot!!
we can fly...above the sky...

I've always heard MANIC MONDAY as a lite weight pop novelty song ... but now I listened to it anew ....NOT SO BAD !! :icon_biggrin:
So now I've decided its off to our fair to see The Bangles perform on a free stage ! :icon_mrgreen: :icon_cool: ....what the hell ....
Thanks !

Too bad it's a slowed down version of "1999" or as you wish an accoustic version of the apocalyptic purplejam!
Can I as a Prince devotee just turn the stone (just in this reply) and give my favourite Prince song when He (and he almost never does that on his albums) did a cover of somebody else's song
And these are my favourites which He has written for others:

Lance, don't tell me: it has to come alive 2nite!
F*$ks so pretty u and me, eRoTîc cîty come alîve
2 bad there ain't no clip for "Scarlet Pussy" Miaow
Hey wait a minute, just made 1
Once upon a time in the land of fever, there lived a scarlet pussy
This kitty cat of fine descent, was cherished by her mother
Who wouldnt let another, pet her, unless he was qualified
Every 1st of the month this pretty feline got the hots
And thats when the neighborhood (d-d-dogs)
Theyd line up around the block
Meow
When my little scarlet feline roars
The locals come around (come around)
When they see the scarlet light
They know its time to come chase her down (chase her down)
Lo and behold the fantastical way
In which their bodies groove
My scarlet pussys furry magic alters any mood
Scarlet pussy (its cool)
Scarlet pussy
Pussycat, pussycat
Wherefore art thou, puppy?
She can make u crazy if ure too close to her heat
She can make u sad when ure happy as can be
She can make u shoot your ego all over her sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy
Every dog would try his lines
To get pussys attention ([...])
All they want is so exposed
In ways too gross to mention (eew!)
Green virgin teenager
A filthy rich yuppie
Pussycat pussycat
Wherefore art thou puppy?
Scarlet pussy
She can make u crazy if ure too close to her heat
She can make u sad when ure happy as can be
She can make u shoot your ego all over your sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy
Meow
Now whats going on?
Oh, no, man, look out!
Somebody come get this meow-meow of my leg!
Meow!
Scarlet pussy
Pussycat pussycat
Wherefore art thou, puppy?
Meow
She can make u crazy if ure too close to her heat
She can make u sad when ure happy as can be
She can make u shoot your ego all over her sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy
She can make u happy, she can make u sad
She can make u crazy (crazy)
She can make u shiver from your head down to your feet
She can make u shoot your ego all over her sheets (oh!)
She can make u crazy if ure too close to her heat
She can make u sad when ure happy as can be
She can make u shoot your ego all over her sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy
