Sounds Like Prince

Okay! Which songs sound directly like Prince songs?

List the song and also list which Prince song it sounds like.

Faith by George Michael = When You Were Mine
Oh Sheila by Ready For The World = Lady Cab Driver

Um... Are there any more?

I always thought George Michael's Faith was more of a copy of "Kiss" or "Delirious." The production was real stripped back and the whole vibe was very Prince. And of course "I Want Your Sex" was the best Prince song he never wrote.

I liked how Prince sampled George later on "Strange but True."

"You Talking To Me?" by Australian group Disco Montego.

That song sounds SO MUCH like Prince. Search for it on Kazaa if you want to hear a complete rip off by a major band (at least here in OZ).

I'm considering writing to NPG to alert Prince to this blatant plagiarism.

What does it sound like? Bits of Erotic City and contains countless classic Prince-esque riffs and idiosyncracies.

It makes me mad

Yes, I was working with my father over the weekend when i heard "Get it on", and i so wanted to sing "Cream".

But wouldn't "cream actually sound like "Get it on" instead of vis-versa?

i lik ethis tho.
its more a MJ rip-off.
in their live per4mance & the video the dancing is basically doing their best Mj impressions with a few NSYNC backflips.
however the "... & she don't wear underwear AAOWA! " line,with that scream,is as prince as ya get!.

i have ANOTHER one:

Justin Timberlake's "CryMeARiver".. . . .when he screams "NOOO" going in2 the bridge,
is 99% like the one at the start of Alphabet St.

I disagree that it is more MJ. Perhaps the video is visually, but I don't hear ANY MJ in the music. It is all Prince. Check out the "drip-drop" keyboard line...pure Erotic City.

Phil Collins's 'Sussudio' is basically a re-write of '1999'
Janet Jackson's first album totally rips off Prince
A lot of songs on side one of 'Dangerous' by Michael Jackson sound like Prince
Also, there is some debate to Prince's contribution to Madonna's albums circa '89/'90. But, 'Dear Jessie' sounds like 'Arms of Orion'. 'Vogue' sounds like 'Spirit'. 'Justify my love' has Ingrid Chavez lyrics with a James Brown 'Funky Drummer' sample, which I think Prince has used. 'Like a Prayer' sounds like Prince lyrics and he plays guitar.

What George song did Prince sample. And, what Prince album is this on?
