prince songs that could be mistaken for michael jackson songs + other artists

Now I can already feel the eyeballs rolling to the back of peoples heads as they read this title but in bored and have been listening to a lot of graffitti bridge and 3121 and have always found
Love +
Thieves in the temple to sound very Michael Jackson-ish

Loose minus the singing could fit into an early prodigy album etc

Just curious what songs you think musically could fit into another arts work?7

'Around the World in a Day' and 'Paisley Park' = The Beatles

'Delerious' = Elvis

Prince has never sounded like MJ in my opinion but it has happend the otherway round scores of times.

The Emancipation Era was MJ-like.

Obviously, no song will be like MJ's because MJ loops a pop beat and has the same pop formula on almost every track, so you'd have to try your hardest to find something close to that from Prince.

I'd nominate Emale, Love, Right Back Here In My Arms, Your Love Is So Hard, Saviour (formula only), Emancipation (rhythm of vocals only), We March.

the 2nd half of "the human body" sounds like prince's take on "born slippy". a particularly shit take.

It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night (SOTT movie version) reminds me of Working Day & Night (live)

I played Mr. Goodnight in my car one day and my friends asked me if it was Snoop Dogg smile

Here's your next movie, Kevin Smith:

Michael Jackson and Prince exchange bodies for one year because of -insert strance sci.fi reason here.

"M.J." decides to take over the O2 while "Prince" records '20Ten'.

Prost!

Don't understand the magnitude of Michael Jackson posts in this forum.

And I disagree, Thieves In The Temple does not sound like Michael Jackson.
