Nothing Comparesd 2 U (84 Vocals / 90 Music)
I made this!
A bit niche but - Sinead O'Connors memorable rendition of Nothing Compares 2 U was written by Prince, but I no idea Prince had recorded his own version : my brain used to imagine what he would sound like singing to her arrangement so I have done some playing around using the vocals from his posthumous release.

Those two had an interesting dynamic.
When Sinead's version of Nothing Compares blew up world-wide, Prince phoned her up, mis-pronounced her name, was promptly corrected by Sinead (I'm convinced he pronounced in Siniad, like Iliad), then informed her that he had sent a Limo to pick her up and bring her to his house.
Sinead shows up, Prince invites her in and asks if she'd like a drink. She accepts, and Prince tells her to go get it herself.
Prince then summons his butler and orders him to bring Sinead some soup. Sinead politely declines the soup, but Prince is adamant she eats the soup and orders his butler to serve it. Sinead isn't having any of it, which greatly upsets Prince.
He then begins to tell her that he strongly dislikes how much she swears during interviews and basically gave her a stern telling off for not being sufficiently ladylike and that as his protege, she should be more servile and obedient.
Sinead tells him to go fuck himself.
Prince flounces off upstairs, returns with two pillows and challenges Sinead to a pillow fight. Being a slightly mentally unhinged Dublin girl, she enthusiastically accepts.
Pillow fight ensues, and Sinead quickly realises that Prince has loaded his pillow with a blunt object with which he's trying to bludgeon her. Sinead attempts to fight him off, but quickly realises that she's physically outmatched despite Prince being about 3 feet tall.
Sinead decides to leg it out the front door and down Prince's driveway before realising that she has absolutely no fucking clue where she actually is.
While she's been trying to make her escape, Prince has jumped in his car and proceeded to chase her down. He catches up to her a few yards down the road, pulls up alongside Sinead and orders her to get into the car. Sinead promptly tells Prince to suck her dick. Prince jumps out of the car and begins chasing Sinead around it like a Benny Hill sketch, before Sinead breaks away and runs to a nearby house to call for help. Prince immediately jumps back in his car and fucks off home.
It all sounds a bit like a farce, but in all seriousness, Sinead was in her early 20's at the time, had only been in the music biz for about 2 or three years, and the entire bizarre evening must have been fucking terrifying for her.
Would have made an absolutely brilliant Star Stories reconstruction, though.

Reads like bad slash fiction
Just put a line in about them polishing each other’s little heads
