I commented on Shawn's theme count about this, but it's been nagging me for a while.

Should "Sexy Boy" be considered a JH&JJM version of Robert Palmer's "Addicted To Love"? If you compare the two back to back, they have incredibly similar instrumental structures (especially the synth/guitar hits) and vocal patterns in the verses. (And also coincidentally, the official video codes above both start with X and end with E. Spooky.)

Is this worth connecting or am I grasping at straws?
