I'm wondering how many songs that were written by Prince share the same title?

I can think of the following...

1) New Power Soul (From NPS and Exodus)
2) Girl (B-side and The Time)
3) Gett off and Get off (D&P and Thieves in The Temple B-Side)


Are there any others?

It was called Newpower Soul on the album of the same name

'7' on the '' album and 'Seven' on Madhouse's album, '8'.

there are also various pairs of songs which remain unreleased, or where only one of the pair is released released where the songs are entirely different.

e.g. 'Love and Sex' and '17'

When did he do a song called 7 langebleu? (apart from the one on the album of course )

I didn't know that!

Another one is 'Sticky Wicked'. There are two completely different Prince compositions (circa 87-88 ) sharing this very title.

One version was recorded by Chaka Khan. The other version, an instrumental, has yet to circulate.

Aaaah! I didn't join NPGMC for year one.

Is it similar to the original or just in title?

Another case of joy in repetition is the recurring incidence of the word 'Drawers' in Prince song titles, especially around 1985.

Even though there was never a studio recording of a song called 'Drawers Burnin'', this was the title of a funk jam he performed during his birthday show that same year.

Then there was the instrumental called 'Drawers' which he gave to Eric Leeds (who then turned it into 'Little Rock' and released it on his debut album 'Times Squared').

And finally, there was yet another jam from '85, this time called '(U Got The) Good Drawers', which, confusingly had nothing to do with 'Drawers Burnin''

I feel like a complete prat now! I thought U meant that the song "7" was released as part of the "november" songs for NPGMC year one!

Giotto - you're on a roll now - but can anyone name songs written by other artists covered by Prince which bear the same name?

I can think of one pair so far.

There are millions! I am searching through ascap right now and every Prince song I type in has been written by someone else. I did not know this!
Apparently Bon Jovi wrote a song called "Purple Rain?"

I always though that Gett Off of theives in the temple was a small portion of the Get Off on Diamonds and Pearls, if u listen 2 the music it sounds the same 2 me, except the words,

No can you name songs which Prince has COVERED (not written) which bear the same name!!!

The only true connection is a musical motif shjared by the two songs - played on the guitar on Get Off and played on the flute on Gett Off
