It only struck me the other day how much 'Come To Daddy' is a straight parody of 'Breathe' by Prodigy with a little bit of Marilyn Manson shock-rockery thrown in. Right down to "I want your soul" mimicking Keef's "Come play my game' line

Listened to Swerve by Dub Sex today and was struck by how much it reminded me of Fugazi's Waiting Room.

The Mike Post theme to Hill Street Blues and the intro to "Backstreets" by Bruce Springsteen don't exactly sound alike to me, but they do have a similar vibe I think.

I may have even posted this before in this very thread but I just wish someone else would recognize the absurdity in the fact that Night of the Assassins by Les Rallizes Denudes and Me Killa by Bone Thugs in Harmony are basically exactly the same melody.

The main hook from BTS's "Dynamite" is very similar to a recurring melody in "Polaris" by Fearofdark.

My God thanks to a YouTube comment on the LRD track I’ve solved it — both Night of the Assassins and Me Killa are ripping from early 60s Peggy March hit “I Will Follow Him”. I figured it must be something like that but didn’t know how I’d ever figure it out.

I noticed this one years ago - "Cold Gin" by Kiss seems to have started off as a rewrite of "Sunshine of Your Love". The riff is different pitches but nearly the same rhythm, and the chords in the chorus are the same pitch (going to the dominant chord) but different rhythm.

Someone else mentioned “Creep,” I barely hear that… (that said, I was psyched when a random dude on Mastodon said it evokes a Jim Steinman epic; thought my ears were the only ones making that link!)

Many on totp twitter recently pointing out that Robbie Williams' Let Me Entertain You sounds like D:Ream's Shoot Me with Your Love, which itself is clearly a Sympathy for the Devil/Loaded/Freedom '90 derive.

I thought the place I ate lunch at today was playing a Taylor Swift song I hadn't heard but it turned out to be Jewel ("Standing Still"). Didn't realize how much Taylor's ballads sound like 2001 Jewel.

They don't really share much that is concrete, but Swing Out Sister's Theme and The Orb's Spanish Castles in Space have very similar atmospheres imo

when the first verse of the Godzilland! (an educational children's anime based on chibi versions of the Godzilla kaiju) OP starts up, all I can hear is "Erotic City, can't you see? Fuck so pretty, you and me."

The melody (and harmony) in Robin Guthrie's Freefall remind me a lot of the Midnight Cowboy theme. I wonder if it's accidental.
