This song is a direct rip-off of Prince's song, "The Beautiful Ones", The keyboards are EXACTLY alike. I'm surprised we didn't read about Prince suing Sweet Obsession for copying one of his songs:



Damn, it's the same exact song, just different words. disbelief

Never heard that song before very blatant!

Lenny's new song Strut sounds like a slowed down version of Satate of Shock.

T. Rex - Bang A Gong

Prince - Cream

Miriam Makeba - Quit It

Prince - Colonised Mind

Just to name two. There's also the Italian disco jam form way back in the day that sounds amazingly like Chelsea Rodgers.

They also ripped off the SOS Band Just Be Good To Me with a song
called Gonna Get Over You.

Sheila E's Wipe the Lipstick Off Your Collar sounds so much like Stevie Wonder's Village Ghetto Land right down to the synths. Did Prince really right this song or was it Wendy and Lisa? It's credited to Sheila and Brenda Bennett, but who knows?

speaking of the Jacksons....

"Things I Do For You" from Destiny (1978),sorta reminds me of Earth Wind and Fire's "Magic Mind" (from their 1977 All N' All album)

It's not a rip-off,though...just minor similarities in the groove and the horns

SOURCE:

Contrary to what many people believe, Robin Thicke's Million Dolla Baby does state that the track contains interpolations from Marvin Gaye's Trouble Man.

^^ wow,I thought I was only one who noticed a similarity between Rick Springfield's 1983 hit "Human Touch" and Sheila E's 1984 hit "The Glamorous Life".Compare the choruses of both songs.
