There is a link to a Demo version of Sussudio and it is pretty obvious it is inspired by 1999. E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderatorĪ short article on the similarities to 1999. Thank you for this post yeah synth lick sounds the same Hell, you could sing one over the other if you tried.Īnd 1999 goes to Bb, Dm7, then works back to F eventually. Even when Phil goes into "I've.got to get closer but I don't how" takes the same sort of chord change as when Prince goes into "2000 zero zero party over oops out of time". The percussion in Prince's song is mimicked in a percussive synth bass in Phil's. It's only one-step off from the original key. Yet another urban myth still doing the rounds.Īll of that is very untrue. The synth has a similar sound, but all synths do, but in no way are the cords the same. (Remember when The Pointer Sisters and VanHalen both had songs out called "Jump"? The Pointer Sisters altered theirs to "Jump (For My Love)" avoid confusion.)

There are blues progressions that are echoed in song after song after song through generations. Things like drum patterns, and possibly some chord progressions can't be copyrighted, nor can song titles. While there are extreme similarities in the two, there are enough differences that possibly kept Phil from owing Prince royalties, had it ever gone to court. That's sort of a "I borrowed some elements, but please don't sue me, cuz I love you" statement. Phil has said he was influenced by Prince and "1999". But because Thicke came at them the way he did, that's when it became an issue they pursued. Marvin III said that if Robin or Pharrell had just said something like "we wanted to pay tribute to Marvin Gaye in a song." etc etc., then the estate wouldn't have thought twice about it.Īrtists do it all the time. Then Thicke sues the Gaye estate so they can't use him and Pharrell. This was when the initial talk of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" being a "ripoff" was being circulated. I was on a radio show with a friend (who was the host) with Marvin Gaye's son. Also, usually an artist will let things go if the other artist says it's "inspired by" or "a nod to" another artist or song. I've never heard that Phil called Prince, but he could have.
