what song sounds most like a prince song

what song in which Prince had no involvement with sounds most like a "Prince" song?

i would say its a close race between Oh Sheila & Do Anything

but i would have to go with Do Anything by Natural Selection

Check it out ...Shiny Toy Guns R gonna blowup VERY soon and bring melody back to music..you heard it here 1st! http://www.myspacecomment...theone.mp3

For some strange reason when I hear the new Janet Jackson track "Just a Little While" I think of "When U Were Mine". shrug

i know it's been said before, but the first time i heard 'untitled' by d'angelo i really thought it was a prince-penned tune. Love that song.

Does anyone remember Donna Summer's version of "Dinner With Gershwin?" I was a teenager then, but when I heard it I was like "oh yeah, Prince had something to do with that definitely..." When I bought the 45 I found out that I was wrong.

I always thought Like A Prayer sounded like a Prince-penned and produced tune.
There was an Aussie group from the late eighties, Wa Wa Nee, who sounded a lot like Prince to me, especially with their hit song Stimulation I was into them before Prince!

Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

I agree with the post about Janet's new song, it does have a "When You Were Mine" sound to it.

Some songs that sound like Prince wrote them are:

"She Bop" Cyndi Lauper. Especially the line "I won't worry and I won't fret, ain't no law against it yet".

"We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off (to have a good time) Jermaine Stewart.

"Mercedes Boy" Peebles.

"What If God was One of Us" Joan Osbourne.

"It's Too Late" Carole King

To me these songs represent elements of Prince's writing style.
