Screwdriver = Sledgehammer?

Heard Sledgehammer today and thought there was a similarity to the message there. He even mentioned the "Big Dipper" which was used in Gett Off. Interesting....

And Sledgehammer contains the line: (why don't u) call my name, which is also the title of a Prince song...spooky.

And Sledgehammer contains the line: "this will be my testimony" while Prince makes statements through songs like Screwdriver...

Peter Gabriel's "So" ('86) and "Us" ('92) albums are 2 beautiful masterpieces, imo...

And Sledgehammer is massive, a wonderful song. music

Screwdriver is forgettable, not that great imho.... confused

Yeah well, Prince never was one to make awesome videos anyway. Truth is, I'm underwhelmed by both songs and the comparison is far-fetched.

Ohhhh no...that bass work in sledge is nice. The loud pimp-daddy strut cartoonish baseline is obscene. This songs bass could bring the pimp out of Ned Flanders. The horns r cool too.
