Hint:

song and video rumored to feature Miles Davis....circa 1987

cuz it reminds u of the sound near the end of the song glam slam

Because it seems to borrow cords from Money Don't Matter Tonight?

Because its seems to borrow from music you heard in an elevator?

I thought it sounded like parts of the score from Purple Rain...like the Lake scene or something...

SquirrelMeat said:

Exactly !!! Money Don't Matter ~~~ I was up half the night trying to think of it and it finally came to me in the car on the way in to work!

Nope

Keep guessing

Another hint: Prince wrote said song for a female artist

I already pointed out a possible Mia Bocca connection on another thread (http://www.prince.org/msg/7/170594) and nobody responded!

Kind of like how I got no response on this thread (http://www.prince.org/msg/7/169845)....

Pink Cashmere and Claire

Good answer! That's it!!!

Mia Boca - Jill Jones

exact same string arrangement!!!

p.s. ufoclub...sorry nobody else responded but you are the winner!!! =)

exact same string arrangement? no...it's new

2020 said:

1. It isn't Miles Davis

2. It's not the same string arrangement as the latest single

.

Yes it is new

but

it is almost identical to the strings at the biginning of Mia Boca.

I've never listened to Mia Bocca so it sounds like something else to me, just not sure what yet.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

what do you mean not really!!!

Come on! I think you need to listen to Mia Boca again and than listen to Te Amo Corazon

the similarities between these two songs is an almost identical match

dont go head to head with a Prince master there young'n

jusr pop in your copy of Under The Cherry Moon, and I believe you'll hear it after Christopher Tracy sees Mary Sharon at the party, and she tells asks her friends for info on him.

I think this is the 12" of Mia Bocca

it's all in presentation and packaging

MoonSongs said:

Yeah its got that hint of Steely Dan running thru it.
Just like Money Don't Matter does.

Learn to read: RUMORED

It reminds me a little of George Michael's Jesus To A Child - I think it's the descending, Latin-style chord sequence that does it.

And then, oddly, it brings If I Ever Fall In Love by Shai to my mind. Don't ask me why!! (Although, I am thinking that a Latin version of that song, with a similar rhythm/tempo to TAC would be quite a cool summer hit.....)

and don't go head-to-head with a sista who can tell two songs apart enough to tell you that they don't fucking match.

reach any further and your arm'll fall off.

I'm talking about the intro to both songs, not the actual meat of the songs themselves!

ufoclub said:

i'm talking about that, too.

I'll have to make an mp3 of the older tune, straight off of the movie of under the cherry moon.

U mean like the opening of "Holy River" is ripped from the vinyl version of Stevie's "Golden Lady" ?

the melody in the verses reminds me of 'la isla bonita' by madonna

Hmmm.... I only have the CD of the latter, but I'd love to hear that. Y'know, I think you're allowed to post up to 30 seconds of a song before record companies get pissed.... (hint, hint!)

ufoclub said:

I knew it I'd heard it before! I guess that's the Clare Fischer connection.

No Wonder I been humming that song all day
