I think a lot of people on this thread need to start listening to Carl Perkins, because they don't have a clue what rockabilly is.

And we all think that you ought to contact "Reading Is Fundamental" because you certainly have a hard time understand that the original poster is not looking for by-the-numbers rockabilly songs from Prince.

No kidding. And that's why this thread is cool. The original poster was looking for songs that are rockabilly-esque. "Sister" is the closest. Simple I-IV-V chord structure, guitar-centric, and wild. That's rockabilly in a nutshell.

Do Yourself a favour, maybe? i know it's funky but it has that simple propulsive drumming and the classic synth line that prince uses on these type of songs.

That one is really the best choice. That guitar lick is pure country/hillbilly. If that lick weren't processed with effects this song could be called a Prince country song.

I liked it the minute I heard it. Was thrilled to hear W&L's backup and fun, clever "Prince" turns of phrase.

Look around U baby
U know U've seen it all before
Every nickle in this club lookin 4 a dime
Nothing less nothing more

2 tall 2 be talked down 2
2 over it 2 be put under

I can't believe no one mentioned "Turn It Up" yet.
