Just realized David Bowie was doing an imo of Howlin' Wolf's trademark "Woo-hoo" vocal in "Jean Genie."

Note: "Woo-hoo" is not the name of a song, but the a vocal line used in "Smokestack Lighting."

Inspired by recent Harvey Danter-related polling activity, I just listened to it & it occurred to me, for the first time, how similar the opening bars of "Flagpole Sitta" are to Cracker's "Teen Angst"

Anyroad, which J Geils band song was "did you no wrong" Sex Pistols too close to, such that the track got credited to on some versions of the CD single?

Sweet Jane and Crimson/Clover are both simple 3-chord (I,IV,V) tunes, and saying they're the same is like saying one blues song is the same as another. Similar yes, ripoff... well, no.

No, the other guy is right. Sweet Jane was directly inspired by C&C, Reed's even said so himself.

About 30 seconds in, the Who song "One Life's Enough" from It's Hard sounds like the theme from Cheers, which is odd considering Townshend later wrote a song called "Mike Post Theme."

Just realized that Alone by Ween is a blatant rip of Robyn Hitchcock's The Bones in the Ground.
Also, the verses of Ween's Dr. Rock resemble the verse melody of Heroes and Villains.
