Nikka Costa's "Get Off My Sunshine" is very similar to Betty Davis' "If I'm in Luck I Might Get Picked Up"

eek

They are very similar. Nikka's song is more faster in tempo, but the similarities are incredible. "Get off my sunshine" is from Nikka's "Butterfly Rocket"...

eek eek eek eek eek eek eek

Wow, they really are similar. eek

Love both albums. Both Betty and Nikka toned down the rock guitars on their later records.
