For some reason "Guitar" reminds me of Talking Heads

Seriously. So I remember listening to the track for the first time and I was just thinking, "this sounds so much like the Talking Heads". I wonder if Prince was actually inspired by them or something with this song. lol I could totally see David Byrne doing something like this. In fact, picture him singing it instead of Prince. lol

Or better yet, listen to "Lifetime Piling Up" then "Guitar". Compare and contrast. wink

The songs chorus is a rip off of the Beatles 'Back in the USSR'

Nah, I'd say the "Naked" era.
