me and my friend once accused a king adora of this in a nightclub, he said, naaah, its only the bassline and the chords...
it was the melody too. and the production. i dunno which i prefer now tho.
have a song on their most recent album (no idea which track) which I swear at the start sounds exactly the same as Don't Look Back In Anger by The Oasiseses. Its alright.
had dandy warhols "bohemian like you"/stones "black sugar" not got a mention?
See also: kerbdog's 'Earthworks' with Pearl Jam's 'Even Flow', a song off Bush's Golden State album that sound note for note like Smashing Pumpkins' 'Imploding Voice'
Warhols' We Used To Be Friends are used in an Irvine Welsh book. The songwriting credits are the 3 Feeder guys and the Dandys' singer. Maybe he heard Day In Day Out and decided he wanted to recycle it... lazy.
The intro to the Foos' All My Life sounds like a chugalug punk cover of Proclaimers' 500 Miles. To me anyway.
And the Jet/Iggy rip off is possibly the most infuriating thing ever when you're in a club.
is virtually the same as 'where is my mind' by the pixies. and there was a cooper temple clause song (promisies promises?) whose main riff was exactly the same as 'drunken butterfly' off "dirty". there's fucking loads, isn't there?

Thank you
That's fucking hilarious!
Flaming Lips - Fight Test/Cat Stevens - Father And Son
there's a dandy warhols song that sounds exactly like an early Feeder song too, but i can't remember which ones
I was about to say this
It is We Used To Be Friends by the DW and Day In Day Out by Feeder
^^^ the flaming lips thing
in the end I think they ended up paying royalities to Cat Stevens as it sounded so similar!
http://www.largeheartedboy.com/blog/archive/2003/06/flaming_lips_se.html
^ explains
But
Surely that's intentional?
Muse - Supermassive Black Hole / Britney Spears - Do Somethin'
i ALWAYS get them mixed up :(
someone posted about this before, but
the mystery jets - young love / that one from the hugh grant film
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz-FoGp3p0s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce_DxJFdgM4
lolz.
Damn you!
You beat me to it!
or you know, just mystery jets
that 'the' is going to annoy me now.
it even says 'the mystery jets' on the advert.
True story.
I can't
actually believe how similar these melodies are!!
I really liked that Mystery Jets song as well.
DO you think they just saw the film and directly ripped it off??
How bizzare.
How bizzare. How bizzare.
Mystery Jets - Young Love/That song from that awful Hugh Grant film about songwriting
Music and Lyrics.
Pop goes my heart.
Cat Stevens/Flaming Lips
Father & Son and er, that one. Can't remember the title. Anyway. They sound identical.
Oh bollocks

Laura Branigan - Gloria
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=SdVEM5WMDo0

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=WzDLHcY9nW4
the intro to deus song 'via'

Dillinger Four - doublewhiskeycokenoice

Smashing Pumpkins - Stand inside your love

The crowd at King Adora gigs used to even change the words when they played it.
whatever made you want me?
me and my friend once accused a king adora of this in a nightclub, he said, naaah, its only the bassline and the chords...
it was the melody too. and the production. i dunno which i prefer now tho.
sigur ros
their new song gobbledigook is clearly 'who could win a rabbit' by animal collective
Neyo's new song
same beats and bassline as Rihanna's Please Don't Stop The Music.
EXACTLY THE SAME
Casiotone
have a song on their most recent album (no idea which track) which I swear at the start sounds exactly the same as Don't Look Back In Anger by The Oasiseses. Its alright.
Isn't this the intro
to 'Imagine' anyway?
George Harrison - My Sweet Lord
and The Chiffons - He's So Fine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJXc6JUOUc8
It's identical.
Man
I was gonna start a thread about New Face In Hell/Conduit For Sale. Although NFIH is quite similar "What Goes On" by The Velvet Underground.
My contributions:
Killing Joke's "Eighties" vs. Nirvana's "Come As You Are" (Well known that one)
The vocal line to "Echoes" by The Rapture is very similar to "Careering" by Public Image Ltd.
Less obvious but "Kiss of Life" by Supergrass sounds an awful lot like "Crosseyed and Painless" by Talking Heads.
The opening bit of 'Great DJ' by The Tings Tings
and 'Mamma Mia' by Abba. I always get the two confused.
Are you sure
you're thinking of the right abba track?
Anything All American Rejects
literally, anything.
All I Need - Radiohead
and Roygbiv - Boards of Canada
also see/hear:
Videotape - R-Head
Gyroscope - BoC
how
had dandy warhols "bohemian like you"/stones "black sugar" not got a mention?
See also: kerbdog's 'Earthworks' with Pearl Jam's 'Even Flow', a song off Bush's Golden State album that sound note for note like Smashing Pumpkins' 'Imploding Voice'
Tom Pettys's American Girl and...
The Strokes Last Nite start exactly the same.
^I didn't think it was possible but
this is so true it's like radiohead slowed the track down and added vocals
bah meant
to post that under the Radiohead BoC post
and...
r-head - reckoner
sebastien tellier - la ritournelle
pixies holiday song
von bondies c'mon c'mon
woah
good call...never noticed but yr right.
It's gotta be...
Coldplay's "Clocks"
Sounds just like...
Coldplay's "Speed of Sound"
^^
I never understood how they got away with that. You can sing one over the other and not notice the difference
standing on the edge of control
and greed by fugazi both have identical intros. but guy picciotto did produce the gossip...
*standing in the way of control
indeed
The verse of
What You Waiting For? by Gwen Stefani sounds just like the verse of Weezer's Hash Pipe
BRMC - Spread your love
Doctor and the medics - Spirit in the sky.
'Town called Hypocrisy' by Lost Phrophets
rips off 'Eton Rifles'
QOTSA
god is on the radio also sounds a bit like spirit in the sky.
Town Called Hypocrisy
also rips off the chorus to Bleed The Freak by Alice in Chains.
mariah carey totally
plundered that Tom Tom Club song a few years back. the injustice.
BRMC - Soread your love
Morrissey - Glamorous Glue
oops
can't spell AND put it in the wrong place. oh well.

Lyrics from Dandy
Warhols' We Used To Be Friends are used in an Irvine Welsh book. The songwriting credits are the 3 Feeder guys and the Dandys' singer. Maybe he heard Day In Day Out and decided he wanted to recycle it... lazy.
The intro to the Foos' All My Life sounds like a chugalug punk cover of Proclaimers' 500 Miles. To me anyway.
And the Jet/Iggy rip off is possibly the most infuriating thing ever when you're in a club.
the start of 'naomi' by nmh
is virtually the same as 'where is my mind' by the pixies. and there was a cooper temple clause song (promisies promises?) whose main riff was exactly the same as 'drunken butterfly' off "dirty". there's fucking loads, isn't there?
Today
by the Smashing Pumpkins is a shittier Where Is My Mind too
I couldn't believe when I bought 'dirty'
just how blantant that cooper temple clause riff- steal is and yet at the time I don't remember anyone mentioning it.
lots of people did
:-O
i'd never heard drunken butterfly before. i just youtubed it and promises promises does sound just like it
Fastball - The Way
Tom Jones - Deliah
any band that rips off 'delilah' deserves a booting
for the intro, really
Wipers - Potential Suicide vs Nirvana - Dive
The Hoosiers - Goodbye Mr A
and ELO - Hey Mr Blue Sky.
This annoys me.
The Hoosiers are SHIT.
The Hoosiers- Cops and Robbers and The Cure- Lovecats.
The intros are identical!
Also any Scouting for girls song...sounds like any other scouting for girls song.
rhcp - dani california =
tom petty - last dance with mary jane.
belle and sebastian - the model
and camera obscura - number one son
especially the intros
ie!
so nice!

I Can't Explain - The Who
sounds a lot like All Day and All Night by The Kinks and it came out just a few months after it.
