45. "I would die 4 u," the space cowboy
this is what electroclash should sound like, but it's instead just good, squelchy house. as jumped-up as prince's original is, the space cowboy somehow makes "die 4 u" sound more driving, more sheerly, giddily propulsive. and he repeats the marvelous bridge ("you're just a sinner I am told," et cetera) three times. high point: the so, so white-boy "ooh-ooh-ooh!" at the 4:18 mark.
