maybe “because” by the beatles? not the exact same resolution but probably closer to the vibe

Dog Latin, have you considered the usual suspects for string parts? ELO, Eurythmics, Dream Academy?

Ye Mad Puffin, you are definitely onto something with Eurythmics / ELO. I am now listening to Annie Lennox's Diva album to see if it's something from that. It's definitely something my parents would have listened to around the turn of the 90s

It's a passing thing, but the intro of this Argentinian rock song reminds me of "Two Tickets to Paradise" by Eddie Money

From the title, to the structure, to the chord changes, to the rhyme scheme, "Sad Cinderella" by Townes Van Zandt is a rewrite of "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands". The choruses are a little different.

As was called out recently when I was mindlessly whistling Cygnus X-1: Book II (Hemispheres) by Rush…that one melodic line at 5:45 (this is but one of many occurrences in the song) that’s sung after the brief pause bares more than a passing resemblance to the chorus of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” (which I had somehow never heard before).

the ascending melody at 0:57 in Minikon's Mishu Fantasy (2005) sounds like the pre-chorus of 'Get Lucky'. I like to think this pokes a hole in the "'Get Lucky'= god, 'Blurred Lines' = satan" dichotomy, but what are the odds that Daft Punk & co. ever listened to the Japanese edition of this little known twee IDM album?

I have no idea how it never occurred to me until last night, having heard the Jeopardy! theme song thousands of time, but surely I'm not the first to notice its resemblance to "I'm A Little Teapot?"

Just realized that “say what you want” lifts it’s pre-chorus from “sexual healing” mixed with Prince’s “love thy will be done”.

They even covered “tired of being alone” but smartly decided to remove the guitar line for strums instead so it wouldn’t seem like a direct connection to their own hit.

I don’t know which Cure song in particular it reminds me of but Metro Station - “shake it” does a very distinctive Robert Smith copy on vocalizations throughout this song. Specifically on:
“Tonight you're falling in love, This feeling's tearing me up, Now if she does it like this, will you do it like that?Now if she touches like this, will you touch her right back?Now if she moves like this, will you move her like that?”

Pavement - "Fillmore Jive" (1994)Te Vaka - "Loimata e Maligi" (2002) (aka "An Innocent Warrior" in Moana)

I don't know this song but the lyrics are making me think of All Coming Back To Me by Celine Dion, which I always think is a Meatloaf song because it's almost a parody of one, then I googled today and realised Jim Steinman wrote it and his band did it originally
