"Behold A lady"....... "hot thing" resurrected

Is it just me or does Dre's "behold a Lady" sound like "Hot Thing" in disguise? The synth line and the vocal arrangements are what makes me relate the 2.

Also I know this has probably been discussed before but "She lives in my lap" possess some of the same qualities as "Dorthy Parker". I know I'm an idiot, but If you sing the first verse of "Dorthy Parker" it fits right in with the first verse of "She lives in my lap". Anyone else feel this way?

It doesnt sound like Hot Thing to me at all.

Hot Thing isnt that great of a song.

For some reason, "Behold A Lady" reminds me of a Lionel Ritchie/Commodores song. I wasn't crazy about it at first, but it grew on me.

And "She Lives in My Lap" sounds like "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker"...except...without all the interesting bits.

Yeah, I can kinda hear that. Still, they're worlds apart. "She Lives in my Lap" is definitely taken from the Camille songbook though, that's for sure. I love it!!

She stays alone
never shed's a single tear..

Dorthy was a witress on the promonade
She works the night shift.

Daym i wish there was an acapella of She Lives in my lap & and instrumental of "Balld of Dorthy Parker"

No Behold A Lady sounds nuthin like Hot Thing 2 me. I think Hot Thing has some better comparasins 2 other songs though.

finally someone else noticed!

prince deserves a credit for this song!

it's too close for comfort...one of the reasons i don't like about a 1/3 of andre's album.

Well, I know it might be a stretch and they're not identical by any means, but, next time you're listening to "Behold a Lady" throw some of the "Hot Thing" lyrics in there. Personally everytime I hear that song I hear "Hot Thing". shrug but as I see I'm alone on this one. lol
