Name Songs With A Prince-ly Sound.....But Didn't Come From Prince!!!

I need help from everyone to come up with a list of songs (past or present) that has that sound that tell us..."Hey, THAT sounds like Prince" or "THAT sounds like something Prince would have done for himself or others in the old Paisley Park-era".

I know some:

Britney Spears --- Slave 4 U
Teena Marie --- Lips 2 Find U

"Something About You" by Ebonee Webb in 1981. That jam sounds a lot like "Head". Everything about that song just screams "Prince!". The falsetto, the synths, everything. Hell, the first time I heard it, I thought it was Prince. They have another jam from 1983 called "Too Hot To Be Cool" that sounds just like Prince also.

Also, check out the following from Bobby Nunn from the early 1980s which are very Prince sounding:

Sexy Sassy
Private Party

Have any of you old-schoolers realized that "Call Me" by Skyy is a straight rip off of "Sexy Dancer"?
