@Ashleysims11 I agree. I would rather watch a boy george cover band while i get my toes painted by elton john then listen to this ear bleeding so called music.
I'm viewing this a year and 100,000 views later. Look, you guys are really good. This is a very hard song to perform. Go ahead - quit your day job!!! Good job!!!
The band is really good, but the singer's voice is nothing nore then average. His voice cracks when he tries to put some raange into it. Having said that if people like them...that's great.
lmfao first off who in the fucking hell would name there band Belly Button and second off this band can't play prince worth a shit they should get back to playing music thats in there league and leave the classic pop to the professionals like prince himself
@jowo13 which "reterd" are you referring to, yourself perhaps? They did a damn fine job on this song, please feel free to post your version of it if you can do better, we are all waiting.
..As long as I live, I will never forget the day I was able to meet him in person bk in the early 90's..He's such a very sweet down to earth man.. ...Not too many ppl can pull it off doing his songs...You did a great job honoring a really gifted man that "us" Generation X grew up listening to.....SAdly ,we don't see that real talent on MTV anymore.......
Wow! What a cover !!! This song is very interesting in terms of music; the essence of the song was captured with plenty of details. Vocals? Excellent performance. I hope I can see you performing live in my next trip to NY. Regards from Puerto Rico. You guys rock !!!
Best god damn cover I ever heard. Vocals are really something on what is a hard song to sing and keyboards good too. To better the music of a genius (& asshole) is exceptional. other uploads sound good too.
Belly Button are legends in New York! Best band to come out of that whole scene. I'm glad the boys will be back for a show on Feb 19th!!!! I'll be there for sure, anybody else going?
WOW! Thanks for all the great comments everyone. I know it's not Prince but I hope we do it justice. We have covered some great hits by Prince. Check out our versions of Kiss and 1999. I'll post Darling Nikki soon!
Don't forget BellyButton is doing a reunion Feb 19 2010...stay tuned for more info.
Anyone hating on this has to be tone deaf. Great cover boys!! Prince would be proud!!!
