Arcade Fire cover Prince on 'Reflektor' tour

If you are a band, you should play Prince covers. If you're a band playing in Minneapolis, doubly so. Lucky for everyone, Arcade Fire got the memo.

Win Butler performed "Controversy" with a cube on his head that projected Prince's face followed by Michelle Bachmann. I'd like to think that the decidedly so-so Reflektor helped warm up the unfunky bunch enough to take on the Purple One.

In addition, Arcade Fire performed bits and pieces of Lady Gaga's "Do What U Want," The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling," Guns N Roses' "Sweet Child Of Mine" and Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing."
