I said this on some other thread before...I was surprised, no, quite shocked when I first heard Laid Back´s "White Horse " on youtube . It sounds a lot like Erotic City...which came out later but that doesn´t necessarily mean that Prince ripped it off. Maybe he wrote Erotic City first and Laid Back heard Erotic City before it came out and stole from Prince, I don´t know.
We had a discussion about this here on the org and some said that there was a rare promo of When Doves Cry with a Laid Back song as the b-side so maybe there was some sort of mutual respect and a collaboration though I can´t really understand what Prince saw in them. Go check out White Horse and judge for yourself...I´m sure they were influenced by Prince or vice versa. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

True, just heard White Horse and yes it has got a similar melody.I think Erotic City is phatter whereas White Horse has more of a European dance feel Always cry 4 love never cry 4 pain | |

I think huey lewis and the news were first contacted to do a song
for the ghostbusters soundtrack but had other obligations and could not do it. So thus the ray parker jr. sound a like which huey and the boys got wind of and obviously did not like it. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

Did anybody ever notice Mariah's Fly Like A Bird sounds a lot like Deniece William's Free? | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
the melody for beautiful liar aint that different from mariah's its like that ya'll
mariah's don't forget about us has a melody that ripped off something I liked in the 90's though I can't recall what at this point, and no it wasn't another mariah song | |

If I am not mistaken, Mariah based her "Fly Like a Bird" off of EWF's "Keep Your Head to the Sky". | |

Isley Jasper Isley - "Caravan Of Love", and Gregory Abbott - "Shake You Down '... Meshell Ndegeocello - "Outside Your Door" and Brian Mcknight - "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind".... Janet Jackson -"Time Flies" and - Ray Parker Jr - "After Midnite" , Al B Sure - "Night and Day", Sherrick - "Call Me" , Dino - "24/7", etc....for awhile there, it seemed like everyone was using a similar progression...I guess you could also argue that it all sounds like the end vamp of MJ's "The Lady In My Life".... Major Harris - Love Won't Let Me Wait and Yolanda Adams - Open My Heart Steeler's Wheel - Stuck In the Middle With You, and Sheryl Crow - "All I Wanna Do" ...

Last Dance with Mary Jane by Tom Petty was ripped of in Dani California by the RHCP. "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

Yeah Yeah Yeahs's "Gold Lion" ripped off Love and Rockets's "No New Tale to Tell"  I like both songs. I always thought Kings of Leon's "Molly's Chamber" was similar to PJ Harvey's "Dress". looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

Really? I think "Fly Like A Bird" sounds alot like Deniece William's "Free",which incidentally,was produced by Maurice White and Charles Stepney  Seems Mariah is a huge fan of the EW&F sound,lol. | |
