However, the song's backbeat was inspired by the Prince song "Lady Cab Driver."
if by "backbeat" they mean "everything in the song"

I think I mentioned them upthread, but Klymaxx's two mid-80s albums (Meeting in the Ladies' Room and Klymaxx) certainly remind me of Prince/Minneapolis style synth funk.

feel like the title track off Herbie's "Future Shock" fits here

I was just wondering today if there was a thread like this and now I see that I've already stumped for A'me Lorain & The Family Affair upthread but I'm going to do it again because I love that album so much.

Not sure.
Ryuchi Sakamoto borrows Prince protege Jill Jones, and possibly the purple LinnDrum:

Was listening to Talking Heads' "Making Flippy Floppy," from 1983, the other day and thinking that the chorus (and the synth hook in particular) is kind of Prince-like. But maybe that's just because it's Bernie Worrell, and he influenced Prince's keyboard style?

vocal doesn't sound at all like Prince, but everything else about this song gives me a real 80s-synth-Prince vibe
