Adellethegreat's recent experience with her cover "Manic Monday" revealed the fact that the fartist er, artist, known as Prince doesn't allow covers of his masterpieces.
May I suggest that the fine UU members who post videos on YT deluge the Youtube web site with covers of Prince's songs? I mean, in the vein of my Bangles "Egyptian" video and Deach's sublime cover of "Hazy Shade".
I'd like to see what exactly would be removed from YT - What if the title of the video was "Cover of Prince's "Kiss"" but the actual song in the video was something else? What if the video had a photo of Prince? What if the words were by Prince but set to another melody? Or "You are my sunshine" sung to the tune of "Darling Nicki"? (I don't know if that would actually work.)
What do you think? I'll do one tomorrow. What will you do? The bonus part of this is that you don't have to have actual musical skills to do one of these videos.
Wouldn't it be great to see this become viral? And that everybody on YT do a Prince video? How much would YT tolerate? or Prince? or Universal?
Ideas? comments?
