i love zapp, but i do not seem the resembelance, besides the lyrics. and i can name about hundreds of other songs in a similar vein.

Dont hear ANY resemblence. Also the Zapp track is from 82 or so....

Yep, I mentioned it a while ago but no one listened. Heehee.

A bit but Dance 4 Me sounds much more like that Australian group's song. They are practically identical!

i think this song came out of the vault. P. made this somewhere in the 80ies when everybody was using a lot of electronic equipment.so that is why this song could be reminding you of Dance.

Really? Maybe you just know it so well you don't notice the resemblance? It could just b me, tho, as I said...

(BTW - I didn't say it was ripped off or sue-able, just that they sound similar...)

How can someone listen to a song as much as I have listen to this jam since it came out back in 82 and not notice.

and really the only reason anyone cares about songs sounding the same is for the purpose of suing. I am always amazed at how people on this board will pull songs out of the blue as stuff P has ripped off but can't notice all the artist and songs that are rips of stuff P did (LOL)

What's up your ****? I don't even understand if u think they're similar or not?! Why the confrontational manner???

How can anyone not see a resemblance in the main melody?

You can sing both songs together.

Roger Troutman: I can make you dance if you want me to

Prince: I like it when you dance cos it gets me hot

sing em together, exactly the same.

Other than a couple of lyrical similarities, no. The BPM is close, but most songs are close.

ZAPP is bad ass. They only had like 5 albums in their career, although Roger had a few solo things on his own before he died.

The music is not the same both songs have very typical funk beats. I think "Dance For Me" songs more like "Acknowledge Me"

There are similarities but this one is inferior.
