Hmmm ... indeed it does. And that reminds me — I need to pick up the expanded version of Jesus of Cool this week.

And "Heart" sounds like "One Fine Day."

"Retreat From The Sun" by That Dog sounds like "Who Loves The Sun" by the Velvet Underground, at least when they sing "Su-u-u-u-un."

Oh yeah, "Love So Fine" sounds like "Ruby Baby."

There is an ABBA song that sounds a lot like "I'll Stand By You" (or should I say "I'll Stand By You" sounds like this one ABBA song)...anyone know which one I am thinking of?

Bit different I know but Judas Priest - You've got another thing coming, sounds very much like a modern song.
Not sure if it's a cover or just similar, although I can't put my finger on it. All I can say is the first riff of the Priest song is much more prominent in the modern song.
Hoep you guys can help!It's killing me!

I've always thought Baltimora's "Tarzan Boy" and Laura Branigan's "Self Control" were very similar. I'm also concerned that I noticed.

"Time Is Tight" and "Theme from A Summer Place" have the same first four notes.

"Sound Chaser" by Yes and "Take Me I'm Yours" by Squeeze have the same burbling bass run.

To me "Hang 'Em High" sounds like "A Taste Of Honey" combined with the theme from "Gilligan's Island."

The bridge to "Free As a Bird" by the Beatles sounds EXACTLY like "Remember Walking in the Sand" by the Shangri-las. Not only do they both sound exactly alike, but one lyric goes "Whatever happened to the life that we once knew?" and the other goes "Whatever happened to the boy that I one knew?" It's ridiculous.

The chorus of Jimmy James' "A Man Like Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWDAdvNthNU sounds very much like "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

This is driving me nuts. My friend reckons that "Love Song" by the Dandy Warhols sounds exactly like "Baby Blue" by the Warlocks. I reckon that they're both cops of something really really obvious which I cannot seem to put my mind on right now. Argh! Any ideas?

Blur's "There's No Other Way" sounds like a baggy version of Pink Floyd's "See Emily Play", as Pink Floyd bassist Guy Pratt points out in his book.

I'm sure I've mentioned here before that REM's 'The One I Love' sounds like it was copped from the Minutemen's 'Stories' ('I heard one today about the one I love...').

What about "Fade To Gray"!
― daavid, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 05:32 (sixteen years ago) link
that one was mentioned earlier in the thread which is what reminded me. (so it's probable that "fade to grey" sounds like "cuffs" too but i've never heard "fade to grey")

haha i just checked youtube and yes, all three of these songs are the same, especially "fade to grey" and "one word")

You know what?
The Strokes' "Last Night" does not sound much like Tom Petty's "American Girl", no more than any other...
Except for "Someday" which sounds a lot like it.
and not one of you mentioned it!
