Pull Together - Shack 1999

 

3 Wise Men - James Blunt 2005

 

You beat me to it there, mate.

 

Staying with the Shack theme. 'Stranger' is almost identical to The Byrds 'Tribal Gathering', although I think it's probably deliberate due to their well known affection for the band.

The song by Pink that keeps being played on Radio 1 right now, sounds like it has a riff stolen from JJ72.

 

Whatever happened to them?

 

 

The strike it lucky theme tune and the opening credits from thundercats

 

Oasis Wonderwall and some annoying girls aloud 'tune' that was out round Christmas.

Didn't Killing Joke try to sue them over that?

 

Something like that but I don't know what happened in the end. Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke said that Kurt used to send him Christmas cards. I know KJ were very pissed off about it at the time.

They were ear-splittingly whiney and didn't have much else going for them so they never sold many records.

 

I noticed the country house similarities too.

 

Funniest recently was Oasis' cover of Jumpin Jack Flash. Can't remember what they called it after they added their own words but it was hilariously similar.
