It sounds like a series of songs that Prince couldve written for his protegee's. I mean, C-Lo wrote the song for Tori Alamazay then suddenly the PD's are singing it and got the video 4 it, C-Lo is a fan of Prince, I believe.

The Drum pattern follows WDC very well if you slow Doves down. Plus, no bass guitar!!! So, if you think Drums and bass then you can easily see the similarities. I know this because I mixed the PCD vocals over the top of When Doves Cry and it sounded very smooth... Similar but different...

well, I'm gonna have to agree here...not so much that it sounds like 'Doves'..but it has always reminded me of "Glamourous Life"

and btw...I hate when mods give such attitude. Like you never heard of the song....pfttt



Absolutely the Glamorous Life. Don't really hear When Doves Cry...

Play this song very loud in your car, then play 'WDC'.....hear the big difference: bass! 'WDC' doesn't have any, as you know! I like the 'Don't Cha'-song, the bass is mad! Also, these girls can actually sing and pull off a good show! nod

Only one girl seems to sing though. Or be in front of the camera in the video for more than a split second. confuse

If it's the Cee Lo of Goodie Mob (there may be someone that spells their name lie that, you never know), then yes. He's a big fan. Have you heard his Toyota Corolla spots? They sound like catchy songs. I actually like a commercial! I'll be singing them like they are a record. And I know that spot is helping out Toyota a bit!

I saw him perform a few years ago and after he did his Freak record he went into Prince's "Sexuality". It was hot. I LOVE Cee Lo. One of my favorite rappers

It sounds like When Doves Cry drum pattern and The Glamorous Life melody slowed down. Prince, you better get L Londell McMillan started on the lawsuit paperwork... wink

its the toms that sound like When Doves Cry, the synth chord (or note) which is held long sounds like Hot Thing, the chorus echoing the lead vocal sounds like Kiss, the theme/message sounds like Vanity 6....

i've never heard of "don't cha", but i'm willing to bet that it indeed is just you, darkness.



YOU HAVE NOT HEARD OF "DON'T CHA" - where do you live (serious question). Or are you only listening to Purple Music and never to a radio station?
