Songs Containing Prince Samples

Can anybody think of any songs which contain Prince samples?

I can only think of:

"Bad Young Brother" by Derek B.
Contains the "Oh yeah" from Sign O' Times, repeated over the chorus.

"Tennesee" by Arrested Development.
Contains the word "Tennesee" from Alphabet St.

"Southern Trees (12" Mix) by Sub Sub.
The whole song is underpinned by the string section from the end of Purple Rain, looped over and over again.

"Heaven Must Be Near" by Ingrid Chavez.
Contains the "clap your hands and stomp your feet" line from the intro to the Lovesexy album.

I was going to add "All That" by Carmen Electra but the backing music is basically an unreleased instrumental of Adore, rather than samples from the released song.

There is a website, where u type in an artist name, and then it brings up a list of tracks of who has sampled that artist (I forget what the link is though).

Thankyou for mention : ""Bad Young Brother" by Derek B.
Contains the "Oh yeah" from Sign O' Times, repeated over the chorus"

I saw about 30 seconds of that song on tv over 10 years ago and always wondered who that was - So thankyou for clearing that up, I liked how they used the sample on that track

What does he sample in that?

So, if we're including Prince sampling himself :

Lovesign (samples DMSR).
I know there's more but can't think of them.

I'm convinced that the entire Rainbow Children album is based on an old riff rejected from the Black album cos it wasn't funky enough.

I know I've heard a song sampling the guitar from Kiss but haven't a clue who or what it was.
Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP.

You've just reminded me!

"Reality Used To Be A Friend Of Mine" by P.M. Dawn used a line of dialogue from Under The Cherry Moon: "I wonder what tune she dances 2?"

I think they are referring to the bits from "Controversy" and "I Wanna Be Your Lover" heard best in the intro.

Ah, thanks. Never noticed those, which proves one thing - I don't listen to that album enough.

There was a list of Prince samples in other people's songs posted here on the Org recently. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the thread, and the search engine doesn't search anymore. The samples are a longer list than most people realize.
