Hello every1, new to this so sorry if this has come up b4. Do you know of any songs by other artists that have been influenced by Prince songs

Obvious ones "Soft N Wet" by MC Hammer (the legend)and also "Boom Boom Boom" by the Outhere Brothers (taking off erotic city).

Any help would be much appreciated

Unles my ears deceive me, t.A.t.U's debut single 'All The Things She Said' features a sample of the first two seconds of 'Sex In The Summer' (possibly producer Trevor Horn's idea).

In turn, Prince appears to have based some of the instrumentation on 'Sex In The Summer'on existing material by Parliament. To these ears it doesn't sound like a sample, more like a reworking of bits from Parliament, since the sound is so clear and crisp.

Anybody care to shed more light on this?

lol! i remember playing erotic city to a mate and him saying, god isnt this like boom boom boom? i pissed myself! plus, just to mention, on please hammer dont hurt em he uses 3 prince samples at least, when doves cry for pray, soft n wet for shes soft and wet, adn the shout from lets work (literally LETS WORK) for work this! do all prince nuts here have that album as part of there collectoin?

there is a webstie listing loads of prince covers but i dont have it bookmarked (i have to use sisters computer) maybe someone will read this and know what i mean.

Arrested Development's "Tennessee" has a sample of Prince saying "Tennessee" alla long the song and at the end "2 Tennesse", both taken from "Alphabet street"... but I wouldn't really call this an influence... "Untitled" by D'Angelo is more of a Prince influenced song for me.

OK, not influenced, just any1 who's ripped him off really

Henry Rollins.

"Don't Talk to Strangers" re-done by Chaka Khan. I love that song

Eve did a really jammin remake called irresistible chick. I was surprised when i first heard it.

TLC did If I Was Your Girlfrined & The Click did too, but changed it to If I Took Your Boyfriend
