Songs that sound like other songs

[VladimirIlyich]

 

 

 

The first few chords of each song sound very similar to me.

[Special K]

The chorus of "Your love alone is not enough" by Manic Street Preachers and Nina Perrson doesn't half sound like "Stonehenge" by Spinal Tap.

[Jose Jones]

The Noel Gallagher thread reminded me of this that I heard yesterday.

 

Sweet Child o' Mine by Guns n Roses is a bit of a massive rip off of Unpublished Critics by The Australian Crawl.

Start by The Jam and Taxman by The Beatles.

Changing Man and 10538 Overture by ELO.

 

When I first heard that, I didn't know it was ELO because it sounds like something The Beatles might have done.

The Beatles based "Come Together" on Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me".

 

 

Lennon included a version of this on his "Rock n Roll" album as part of an out of court settlement. 

[Trumo]

'Part Time Lover' by Stevie Wonder, and 'Maneater' by Hall & Oates.

We are running out of chords!

'Belfast Child' by Simple Minds could easily be a 1980s U2 track.

[Captain Howdy]

You,ll do very well to beat this for similarities 

 

 

 

Funnily enough when asked about it Warren Ellis said he was actually ripping off The laughing clowns “Them from mad flies, mad flies” Which is also incredibly similar albeit only the intro.

[Stickman]

First few seconds of Mozambique sounds like Steelers Wheel’s Stuck in the middle with you...

Obviously after those first few seconds that’s where the similarity ends

The tune is nicked from an old folk song "She Moved Through the Fair".

 

Talking of nicking tunes...

 

[Mudface]

The Beatles- Tomorrow Never Knows and The Chemical Brothers-

 

 

 

 

MC5- Black To Comm and Spacemen 3- Revolution-

 

 

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Emmerdale ripped off The Six Million Dollar Man theme tune.

[JER]

Old Father Tyme on the new Weller album has more than a passing resemblance to Brother Louie. Both top tunes though...

Apparently he based Day Tripper and I Feel Fine on this track as well

 

 

[cloggypop]

Doomed by Julian Cope from the fantastic Skellington

 

 

 

The Chockablock theme tune

 

 

[cloggypop]

Blues Magoos - We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet was blatently stolen by Deep Purple

Nah, the six million dollar man was a regular in the woolpack.

Ritchie Blackmore has openly admitted that Black Night was 'borrowed' from Summertime.

Other way around I think?

[Mook]

I've probably mentioned it on here before but Buffalo Soldier is a total rip off from the Banana Splits theme tune.
