Millionaire also by Kellis also written and produced by Andre 3000. Obviously prince influenced, but beating Prince at his own game (for the time being :O) )

The Ray Parker Jr. song, "The Other Woman" always reminded me of a Prince song. It would've easily fit on Dirty Mind. I love that song!

The Importance of being Idle - by Oasis.

The bit where Noel sings

I begged my doctor for one more line
He said "Son, words fail me"
It ain't no place to be killing time
But I guess I'm just lazy

It reminds me of Nothing Compares 2 U

I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you'll do
But he's a fool



Am I making sense.... ???

Also Oasis - Don't look Back In Anger has the lyrics:

Step outside, summertime's in bloom

Similar to When Doves Cry:

An ocean of violets in bloom


Maybe I'm looking into it a bit deeply ...

Doh !!

Satisfaction (Lisa Coleman/ Wendy Melvoin/ Jesse Johnson)

Kelis "Millionaire" (Andre 3000)

How about "Extraordinary Machine" by Fiona Apple?.....it's off her new album and such a perfect little ditty, reminiscent of the 'Parade' album...

Already done that one :O)

Hold my hand - Van Hunt
Undeniably - Terence Trent D'arby
Love Song #3 - Meshell

LOVE BIZARRE. If I were Sheila, I'd be hella pissed that he gets all the cred for it and people think it's his. And when they perform it in concert, he turns her mike down so the audience mostly hears him on vocals.

only officialy... but didn't he steal that from Andre? or was it Dez?

talk2bill2 said:

It was Andre. I'm glad you caught where I was going with that

yeah i was pretty sure it was Andre...

"Emotional Rescue" by The Rolling Stones. Mick even does falsetto with a similar pattern of enunciation to Prince at that time.

"Sleeping Beauty" by Divinyls. The bridge on this song feels like a Parade-era Revolution throwdown.

"Sea of Tranquility" by Book of Love. The syndrum clap on the 8-beat, mixed with the second verse: "not even you could ruin my perfect day, but it wasn't perfect without you anyway." Don't know why, but it feels Princelike.

There was a U2 song, I think it may have been called Lemon, that Bono himself said was inspired by Prince. I can't remember what it sounded like. All I remember was it was in falsetto.

Well the title itself is a Prince quote from The Arms of Orion.

The arms of Orion that's where I wanna be
Since U've been gone
I've been searching 4 a lover
In the Sea of Tranquility
I'm drowning without U here, my dear

...and a very under-rated song in my opinion...

Good spot !!!!!

Also there is a Prince vibe with The Darkness..!!!

I think there new album has some Prince sounding lyrics maybe...

The lyrics from I Believe In A Thing Called Love:

we'll be rockin till the sun goes down

A bit like Adore:

I was rappin' till the sun came up

It's just a but too simillar in my opinion.?????

What really annoys me though is the fact that these bands don't always acknowledge Prince as a major musical influence..

But arrrggggghhhhh!!! Don't get me started.....!!!!!

I'm surprised no one posted the Ween masterpiece, "L.M.L.Y.P (Let Me Lick Your Pussy)" It sounds like a prince outtake from '84-'86, yet it stands on it's own musically. It's just so wrong that it's right.

Hi all...

This is my 1st post, and I thought I'd start with an awesome Prince inspired song by an Australian Band called Regurgitator.

The song is - "!" (The song formerly known as)

For those who havent heard it, download it and give it a go. Best Prince song ever! (well you know what I mean).

Waterfall by TLC - I'm convinced he wrote it !
Waterfall by Wendy and Lisa - or did he actually write it? I can't remember !!!

papabeat said:

Why do I own a copy of that ? Was there a rumour at the time that he did write it ?? My memory's shocking !

james said:

prince has never contributed to any of wendy and lisa's solo work. the closet he came to appearing on their album is a re-mixing credit for Are You My Baby (special edition cd).
