Yes those two and the outro to 1999 (the archetypal Prince funk riff).

The Gett Off lick is derivative
of the Rock hard in a funky place
lick.

Too many too choose...

Oh! I just remembered, Little Red Corvette 12" Dance Version towards the end after he says "..and you'll never! Foget!!!"

That was bad!

"Mayday!"

The rif he keeps using over and over and over.

Straight from Soul Psychedelicide.
Then in Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, live @ Het Paard.
Then he raped it for one of those Symbol songs I never listen to.

WHERE IS SOUL PSYCHEDELICIDE???

Or the REAL Joy In Repetition.

Jeez.

Whatever he will put on Crystal Ball 2 (suckie titel, btw) it will dissappoint HEAVILY.
