I love incubus since Fungus Amongus but this is horrible. They also messed up the Immigrant Song. They've been shitty since Light Grenades. I'm worried about this band.
@thecrunge1985 Well, on the Immigrant Song it was actually Howard Stern singing the high part on a shitty mic/phone line. If you listen well you can hear that Brandon does a good job on the vocals, and the rest of the band does well too.
you guys are crazy this song is awesome!!!! they weren't trying to do "prince" cuz nobody does prince... they took a great song and made it their own. love it.
Kudos to them for even trying to cover a Prince song. There's no way anyone could ever cover a Prince song and top the original, but they put in a good effort and it's still pretty good.
I think they both are good. Many bands do covers of popular songs to show the public what they can do with a mass favorite. So no worries really. Just showing ppl their version of this song. So just chillax and listen ppl :P
Hey, all of you going to say Prince's version is better AND then insult Incubus, no one wants you here. I've no problem with people stating their opinion, but no need to bash on either band.

Hate to tell you little kiddees, but Price was a "musical god" before you little butts were even born. WHO THE HELL IS INCUBUS?????????? Some POS modern act that can't even write there own crap, they got to steal from the greats!
@gijohn1969 they cant write their own crap? explain drive, pardon me, steller, and all there other amazing songs. bands do other band's songs all the time. and tbh, prince sucks pretty bad
@incubusownz I agree with you..... Incubus is a great band.... but to say Prince sucks.... dude, all the great recording artists have respect for Prince..... if you have ever heard him play guitar, and I'm not talking about the manufactured studio stuff, I'm talking raw guitar playing..... you would shit your pants.... he wails, he can play right up there with the best of them.... I heard some of he pre-popular rock stuff.... OMG insane!!!!
Alot of musicians look up to Prince, anyone who says Prince sucks doesn't know about his music, they just pay attention to his music. Slash and Duff Mckagan from Guns N' Roses said they admire his music. I remember I went to his concert at, fucking awesom. One of the best concerts I've ever been.
dude, there is such thing as having different tastes in music. prince is amazing, but you also know who is amazing, INCUBUS! they have written a ton of there own music. good band can cover others. they are just honoring the great Prince's great music. if you think prince hasn't covered anyone else's music, then you are a complete dumbass.
Hate to tell you little kiddees, but Price was a "musical god" before you little butts were even born. WHO THE HELL IS INCUBUS?????????? Some POS modern act that can't even write there own crap, they got to steal from the greats!
have you heard the original? if so you'll notice this is actually a good cover, so swivel and fuck off if you dont like it, we dont need to see you making a cock of yourself...
are you kidding me? Brandon Boyd couldn't hold Prince's fucking platform shoes. This version blows. Oh, and Brandon Boyd didn't change the word "Sex" into AHAH. Prince did. Know your shit before you talk, please.
why is he untouchable? and why even complain about the song. I'm sure if you asked the band they would say the original is better too, but that doesn't mean its not good....
Lick the dryest part of my balls. I'm calling the Victim's Crisis Help Center now over when they did to this song.
Brandon Boyd could have done MUCH better than this raping. At least, I think - although Michael Jackson could have done better with that ending solo, leastways. What in the blue hell possessed them to neuter this song, anyway?!
Gah, Incubus Is So Amazing. Saw Them Live A Few Weeks Back And They Rocked It! Oh Mah BAJ, They're So Awesome, Brandon Has The Most Melodic Voice In There Songs.
The 80's were a great time to be growing up! But this is a great cover. Obviously Incubus has a great respect for Prince. I am sure they are fans and were greatly influenced by his music!
i agree, they aren't supposed to be better, but some are a hundred times better... johnny cash's cover of "hurt" originally by nine inch nails. also, they should never be the same it would just be something that you've already heard but by a different person
I heard this song this morning on alt nation, and I fell in love!! I love Prince and this cover is amazing!!! Makes me wanna watch Purple Rain again!! lol
I heard this on XM. I like to have shit brix, because I'm a big Prince fan and I love Incubus and this cover is great. I was very impressed. I think Incubus is one of the few bands that I would actually trust to cover a Prince song, and they did it wonderfully.
This cover is just as good as the original! What energy these guys have! I went nuts when they sang this in concert! I danced around and screamed my ass off!
One of the best modern 80's covers I've heard, and Incubus are all seasoned musicians. This song always takes me back to the days when I'd be circling the roller rink at a friend's birthday party :)
fuckin rights they closed wit this song when i saw them last week it was fantastic i didnt know it was prince till my mom told me a few minutes ago lol
heard this song earlier when they played at Molson.. it was catchy, i had no idea but i loved it too!!! & Brandon is sooooooooooooooo sexy, as ALWAYS!!!
As weird as Prince is-he writes excellent songs. Now that he's found religion-he's even weirder. And if goes to Vegas and does some lounge shows there-that will be weird too. But I like what Incubus did with this..and love the end where Mike "shows off!" It's CRAZY!
Too polished. Too rehearsed. Thought they were being kool and clever but it lacks soul, which is what makes EVERY Prince song.
