This is one of my all-time favorite covers by Chris Cornell. Fun fact: the reason they're laughing at the very start of the video is because they had just been talking about how Prince hated people covering his songs. Chris then said something along the lines of "in direct defiance of Prince's wishes..." and then started playing. Miss him a lot.
