  • Songs That Sound a Bit TOO Similar

    11 Feb 2006, 22:41 by shakeitmadam

    I made an iTunes playlist a bit ago when I noticed that Warning definitely ripped off the guitar riff on PlayPicture Book. With the help of my sister, we have discovered other other tunes that are sound relatively close to each other.

    PlayCall Me took off PlayEasy Livin''s opening.

    Here Comes the Sun takes its bridge from PlayBadge (makes sense, because George Harrison played guitar on "Badge").

    PlayWhat You Waiting For? sounds vaguely like PlayHash Pipe.

    PlayWonderwall's chords are used in Wake Me Up When September Ends.

    PlayLust For Life's jingle is blatantly used in Are you gonna be my girl?.

    Brain Stew and Play25 or 6 to 4 use the same basic chords.

    PlayBillie Jean's beats are used at the beginning of PlayHella Good.

    In the middle of Echoes, the "duhhhh, dah na na naaaa" is used in PlayThe Phantom of the Opera and Pink Floyd threatened to sue but I don't think they did.

    PlayBittersweet Symphony illegally sampled part of an orchestral version of PlayThe Last Time.

    PlayWhat I Got resembles Lady Madonna in chord structure.


    Fight Test bears a striking similarity to
    PlayFather and Son; indeed, The Flaming Lips paid Cat Stevens a sum of money to appease him for inadvertently stealing his song.

    There are some elements in Leave It that have been taken by
    When I Was a Young Girl. I can't really explain- it's the synthesizers, I think.

    Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers's music has come into the public eye with claims that their song PlayMary Jane's Last Dance was used as the basis for the massive hit Dani California. Also, in Rolling Stone Petty said that Last Nite ripped off PlayAmerican Girl, but he seemed okay with it.

    The opening drum solo in Red Light almost mirrors the beginning of PlayKeep Fishin'

    Rush basically copied their own song Time and Motion's intro with newer song Far Cry.

    The beginnings of PlayDigital Man and PlayDistant Early Warning sound like PlayWalking on the Moon.
