Interesting. I thought this’d be a layup.

Covers of Prince songs

1. Purple Rain - Dwight Yoakam
2. [Kiss - The Art of Noise featuring Tom Jones](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uZQFOfMSfY)

5. Hindu Love Gods - [Raspberry Beret](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRMjSGBHz7E)
6. [Darling Nikki](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3tdKEdrCUQ) - Foo Fighters
7. I Feel For You - Chaka Khan
8. George Clinton - Erotic City

Apparently Prince wrote this right after leaving a P-Funk concert.
