I mean, George Duke did that a few times, and I kind of liked it when he did... he seemed to love that "Love Reborn" song of his.
I love that "Thrash Metal" idea. I mean, do something different. Prince usually does when he remakes his songs (generally when he hands them off to other folks)...
Prince actually did this to great effect w/"Irresistible Bitch"; I heard a version where he does the "Morris voice" over 1999-type production, which was actually ill because it was segued into from another song (an early "Feel U Up", which was way better than the released one IMO). But the released one sounds less dated... even by today's standards. Was pretty interesting to hear how just a year's time yielded a different sound.
