It could just b me, tho, as I said... (BTW - I didn't say it was ripped off or sue-able, just that they sound similar...) "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

A bit but Dance 4 Me sounds much more like that Australian group's song. They are practically identical! | |

I was kinda disapointed when I heard the song 'cause I kept racking my brain thinking, "This sounds like something I've heard before". I do like the song though. Even if it is kind of a rehash.

i think this song came out of the vault. P. made this somewhere in the 80ies when everybody was using a lot of electronic equipment.so that is why this song could be reminding you of Dance. [Edited 10/21/09 8:31am] we do not stop playing because we grow old , we grow old because we stop playing | |

and really the only reason anyone cares about songs sounding the same is for the purpose of suing. I am always amazed at how people on this board will pull songs out of the blue as stuff P has ripped off but can't notice all the artist and songs that are rips of stuff P did (LOL) [Edited 10/21/09 8:28am] | |

How can anyone not see a resemblance in the main melody? You can sing both songs together. Roger Troutman: I can make you dance if you want me to Prince: I like it when you dance cos it gets me hot sing em together, exactly the same.

Other than a couple of lyrical similarities, no. The BPM is close, but most songs are close.
ZAPP is bad ass. They only had like 5 albums in their career, although Roger had a few solo things on his own before he died. | |

I think "Dance For Me" songs more like "Acknowledge Me" | |

I'd love it if someone with the knowledge could break it down and show how they're different and also why they sound similar.. "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

There are similarities but this one is inferior. "Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - | |
