Prince songs that seem to parallel each other

1+1+1=3 , in my opinion, is the only real funky song on TRC.
It just croons with a sexy, dark, funky vibe.

I just wish the stupid lyrics weren't so ...erm... stupid.

But whenever I hear it, I can't help but think 'erotic city' redo.
They sound so familiar to me in tone. I'll admit, I like the instrumentation on 1+1+1=3 better than I do on Erotic City, but I like the 'vibe' on erotic city more.

Does anyone else see the similarities of these two tunes?


What Prince songs do you feel almost exactly mirror each other in various ways?

A lot, especially since musicology, will get back later with examples...

OMG, I have tried to contemplate what you're saying here but I just don't get it!!!

explain please.

I always thought Horny Pony was a very very bad Housequake.

Oh, and Cookie Jar and Return of the Bump Squad.

Whoops, I meant Horny Toad, not Horny Pony. Sorry, my bad.

Jack U off and Horny toad, yes in deed! Good one.
Dirty Mind and Controversy, yes.

My input:
Muse to the pharaoh - mellow mellow
The work - pretty man -musicology - get on the boat
Everlasting now has a bit at the end which has a similar groove to beautiful night
Beautiful, loved and blessed sounds very emancipation (the album)
Dorothy parker - what do you want me to do

Then you have songs that are actually connected by having the same beat:
Work that fat - Martika's kitchen
3121 - Funky design

I never did get that NPG operator stuff on the Gold exp: "irresistable bitch, housequake and sexy mf for improving self-esteem".

Last december always reminded me of broccoli! Why is that, you ask? I don't like broccoli.

i hate it when people start telling you what they think a song sounds like
compared to another one. especially when they describe new music they get
to hear before anyone else.


let's say "Mr Goodnight", it's on the radio somewhere and people post
their 1st thoughts on the org:

"yeah, i've heard "mr goodnight" and it's fONkAY!!*$ it's like some
weird hybrid lovechild of HouseQuake and Mountains but much way much
more cool! a$$k1cKiN!!!Tune. Word! dis tune is like Get Off gets in
a bath of jellybeans with Le Grind and makes a lovebaby that will be
MR GOODNITGH yay peeps check this song out when it is released it is
hardcore prince 1986-1988 funk style yall!!! DAWGS> the lyrics
are among the best prince ever DONE DID AND WILL DO. check them out!!
he is sayin' he is spanish to. I TOLD YOU ALL ALONG haterzzzzz. now
common and post me pics with princE lookin SPANIHS"


man, i hate when people do that

Absolute classic, Isten.
Why do we read 'em?!

If you play guitar you come across some stuff he does all the time.

Like the 9th chords, and the m7 chords and that #6 note.

but the most obvious is

Head--Let's Work

maybe

When U Were Mine--ICNTTPOYM
Scandalous--Insatiable
17 Days--Screams of Passion
Purple Rain--Gold
