yeah great song and excellent cover

[Helios601]

The greatest musical artist of all time.

[wjec1970]

I normally dig Prince, well from late '70s-early '90s at least, but I'm not keen on the changes to the chord timing in this version, I just don't like it as much as Radiohead's original.......and how dare he try to get this taken off YT when it isn't even his song......cheeky fucker.......

[alexwilsonNC]

@Helios601 he's on the short list, that's for sure.

[alexwilsonNC]

To anyone who doesn't get it, he changes the lyrics to give the song a deeper meaning.

"I wish you were special, cuz I think you're special" that line alone says it all.

It goes from being a simple love song that is self-deprecating into a complex song about building up someone else who insists on tearing themselves down.

[eddiepunx]

he can't even say himself a creep, even when the song require him to do so

[Helios601]

Planet Earth has been turning on it's axis for around 4.55 billion years. In that time, has there ever been a musical artist with more talent? Mozart? lol

[Kualec]

Prince was meant to cover this song. What a great artist and guitarist.

[alexwilsonNC]

He made that guitar his bitch. End of story.

[sfrebirthblog]

he completely flips the song on its head

just makes it the best love song ever

for half the song it sounds like he's trashing the girl, and then all of a sudden at 4:21 he just flips the song on its head in one line.

what a fucking genius.

[cdnmusicjunke]

Amazing guitar work - especially at the end. Say what you want, Prince has mad talent and swag.

[IsThis4Entertainment]

wow, i'm not a prince fan, but he sounds like an asshole... playing a song that's NOT his and then asking Youtube to take it down, despite the band that OWNS the song said leave it... its like me moving into someones house against their will and saying "get out of my house!" and the story i heard from "An Evening with Kevin Smith"

[KleWdSide]

I remember when Prince had a fit about this being recorded & wanted it taken down. But Thom Yorke responded by saying, "Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our song."

Exactly.
