I love the song dance4me...but as soon as I heard it the song reminded me of a song by an AUstralian group from the 80's. I used to absolutely love these guys and Dance4me (to me anyway) sounds a bit like a faster version of this song..

yeah i don't see it? good try though! "put down the needle put down the spoon" lol

i hear a resemblance though,

Ah, good old Wa Wa Nee. It's been a while!

It's a pretty similar bass line, that's for sure.

I'm also sure there's plenty more where that came from. 'Dance 4 Me' is a great track, but it's not exactly innovative.

Totally! You can replace the lyrics in the chorus and it's almost there!

But whether or not it was intentional, I couldn't say...

Yeah you're right. But that lead singer looks like such an idiot with that tiny guitar!

opening is VERY close.

I used to love these guys but Ive got to agree about the tiny guitar I thought I was seeing things at first...don't know what the heck Paul (the lead singer) was thinking...


And just so everyone knows the lead singer is also a songwriter. He's written songs for many an artist including Erykah Badu...so u never know

I've never heard of these guyz...

"Dance 4 Me," is a fun Prince song. It's a little stripper polish but what the heck.

I don't know if u would like them or not Tame but U can check them out on youtube

Did they chart outside of Australia? Struggling to remember.

A teensy bit before my time.

TyphoonTip said:

They did have a couple of songs like "Stimulation" chart in the USA and they even appeared on the late show...not much else though. They were considered too "controvertial" and rude I think it had something to do with the song "Sugar Free" because it was about drug use

yeah definitely hear the resemblance. Thats a good tune.

If someone copied someone here it is them who copied Prince - clearly, the lead singer is playing Prince's guitar.

I hear it! So when do THEY sue Prince

I hate to admit it, but I do hear it.

chillichocaholic said:

Yeah i can hear it, it like the song.

It also sounds like this song.

people hear what they want

yes it does!

I don't know how you guys don't hear it. It sounds extremely similar to me.

Hell to the naw!! I love Dance 4 Me so I was ready to call bs on this but I just can't because I hear the resemblance too. I can even sing Dance 4 Me over the other song.

Prince has been reduced to jacking beats???

Awww, say it ain't so! SAY IT AIN'T SO!

but I like Prince's version better. Since I got the music of lotusflower and mplsound I'm constantly thinking "this one sounds familiar, oh and that one too but I can't think of which one" etc. He definitely went back in time.

Prince only served us, so many requests over the past few years of wanting the old tunes back.

I don't think he really jacked it, it's an easy, commercial sounding bass-line that can be found in many songs. It does sound similar, though.

It does!

I like this song! And yes it does sound like this tune!

I'm not saying Prince Jacked it and it might not sound simular to everyone It just sounded simular to me is all

Dave1992 said:

Ermmm....how could they copy dance4me when their song was done in 1980's u goose
ANyway like I said I don't think Prince stole their song. I was just saying I thought it sounded simular. It happens with alot of songs past and Present throughout the music world and no one borrowed anything from anyone

Good ear, Chilli!
