You've created this thread before, haven't you?

I know I've seen this thread before.

The answer back then was no and the answer is still no now.

"Gotta Stop" sounds NOTHING like "My Sharona" and contains no "samples" of that song.

no..but i've made other sample/sounds like threads...listen to it again..i think its like the bass and drums and its a part where they make a beat together and it sounds like the begining of my sharona. listen again.

i know the song, love the song, have analyzed the music enough to know that it bears no resemblance to "my sharona". it does however share a "new wave" sound with that song, but that's where the similarities end.

It's not sampled by no means. One of the few songs I can think of in those days that were "sampled" was "Rapper's Delight" by Sugarhill Gang or "Freedom" by Grandmaster Flash. Sampling didn't catch on till YEARS later.

Prince could have been influenced by "My Sharona" when he made "Gotta Stop (Messin' About)". They do sound good played back to back. Just like he could have been influenced by Gary Numan's "Cars" when he made "Automatic".

A lot of songs in general have similar rhythms or beats and sound good together. That's how mixing got started.
