The Foo Fighters, covering Prince's "Darling Nikki".

A few places over the last week, I've seen people commenting on the 25th Anniversary of Purple Rain. Since we recently went through the 25th Anniversary of Thriller, I suppose I wasn't too surprised. These milestones tend not to upset me, as I don't really mind growing older

i can't honestly say i ever heard that song.

The Food covered this song after Prince found God. So he wouldn't let them actually sell it as he doesn't want to make money off of the raunchy songs or something. So they had to give the song away. I heard Dave say this on KROQ a few years ago.

Personally, I love both of those versions. :)

Damn I love the Foo Fighters.

I don't remember ever hearing the song back in the 80s, though. I don't think that album made it into my brother's collection (he was the only one with $$ to buy records), though 1999 did.
