should have read the thread
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
beat me to it.
.
mono-golden porsche
love ends disaster-ladders
Mogwai*
haha
oops..
Pah
:P
Hmm
Sonic Youth - Untitled
Modest Mouse - Blame It On The Tetons
(at least the main melodic riff)
hmm
Pulp - Disco 2000
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=v3NZq9eP1nk
Laura Branigan - Gloria
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=SdVEM5WMDo0
This has bugged me for over 10 years now...
And actually,
even more, the original verison of Gloria which You Tube tells me is by Umberto Tozzi
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=WzDLHcY9nW4
the intro to deus song 'via'
is almost identical to placebo's lady of the flowers, i think its that placebo song , either way, it does!
Dillinger Four - doublewhiskeycokenoice
Green Day - American Idiot
buzzcocks - ever fallen in love
and that lil chris song
nobody would believe me when i said this
but now it's on the internet, i'm the one who's laughing
king adora - suffocate
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgWUsz4uPIk
Smashing Pumpkins - Stand inside your love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAV6rWUyqCc
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.
Anything All American Rejects
literally, anything.
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?
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.
LostProphets
Burn Burn is Killer by Adamski with more shouting
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!
A Nickleback Song/Another Nickleback Song
http://www.thewebshite.net/nickelback.htm
too slow eskimo
retarded panda
imagine being chad kroeger
i'd rather not :'(
imagine
being a baby and wearing this
http://www.wahmpee.com/shopping/premadepics/MVC-193F.JPG
:D
this baby knows whats awesome
http://www.benjamminkids.com/images/head2.jpg
i bet it listens to animal collective
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.
White Stripes
There's No Room for you here
is basically
Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground.
Also: Oasis- Hindu Times guitar riff similar to Stereophonics- Same Size Feet.
i'm sure it's intentional...
but offspring blatantly rip off the beatles song ob la di ob la da in why don't you get a job...
Those crazy
Pigeon Detectives - I Found Out sounds just like Some Kinda Hate by the Misfits. Also sounds kinda like Teenage Kicks. Then again Last Caress by Misfits sounds a bit like Blitzkrieg Bop by Ramones. Oh and I think that that Sugarbabes song, Push the button sounds like Last Christmas by Wham.
On the last Wildhearts album
the verse for We Are The New Flesh IS We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=KuFGsDl0kLw
Sing along kids! "Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray..."
puddle of mudd 'she hates me'/song from grease 'summer lovin'
i don't know how i know this, but i do!
This was my first thought
as well.
its fun to sing one song over another!
intros to Billy Braggs 'Waiting for the great leap forward' and...
the Lemonheads version of Not the outdoor type.
The Kinks 'Picture Book' / Green Day 'Warning'
this is criminal.
Kinks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyTmJ3riWeg
Green Day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebzUbYJg504
That fucking shit
'Worried About Ray' one by The Hoosiers (?), starts off exactly the same as the brilliant 'Happy Together' by The Turtles. Wankers.
I'm sure there's also a song
towards the end of Get Behind Me Satan that starts off just like that horrible Ozzy & Kelly duet from a few years ago ('Changes'?)
Lilly Allen - LDN and Gazza - Fog On the Tyne
Awesome post!
I've rather helpfully forgotten the names of bot hsongs
but there was recent Sons & Daughters single that is EXACTLY the same as a Rolling Stones tune.
Irreplaceable
by beyonce and that Chris brown song that is irreplceable by beyonce.
How come no one has mentioned the hoosiers and the cure?
This one bugged me.
U2 - Vertigo and Sonic Youth - Dirty Boots.
If you watch these then you need to take notice of the U2 track from 0:40.
SY - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igwCSA0Es9Y
U2 - http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=JNV0AML1nUo&feature=related
The intro
to Dirty Boots and Trail of Dead's All Saints Day are well similar too.
^^This^^
Fucking bugs me.
The chorus is Dirty Boots and the verse is very similar to Bull in the Heather.
Glad I'm not the only one.
Cant really see that
but the chorus of
The Vines - Get Free
and main riff of
U2 - Vertigo
there ye are right there.
Muse - Knights of Cydonia/Pixies - Cecilia Ann
Doves - Black and White Town
is exactly the same, but nowhere near as good as, Heatwave by Martha and the Vandellas
The second song on Coldplay's new album
sounds too much like House of the Rising Sun. And there's a bit in Elliott Smith's Bottle Up and Explode which sounds like God Only Knows by The Beach Boys.
Teenagers by My Chemical Romance
is essentially the theme tune to 'Minder'.
trash by suede
and waiting game by the cooper temple clause
Pop songs
Sugababes "About You Now" vs. The Cribs "Don't You Wanna Be Relevant"
Hearsay "Pure & Simple" vs. Oasis "All Around The World"
Oasis "Mucky Fingers" vs. VU "I'm Waiting For The Man"
Any Strokes song vs. VU "I'm Waiting For The Man". Apart from that 12:51 song, which sounds like The Cars.
You can alternate singing each song pretty easily. In your head, folks.
Oh, forgot one
Oasis "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" is just a slowed down version of "Slide Away".
Jamie T-If you got the money
= Jackie Wilson - Your Love Keeps Lifting me Higher
oh, and
Razorlight In THe Morning/2 4 6 8 Motorway
AND
REM Supernatural Superserious/ Since You've Been Gone (I forget who did that too)
Supergrass - 'Richard III'
and Sonic Youth's 'Silver Rocket' are pretty dang close!
'Taxman' by the Beatles
and 'Start' by the Jam.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzLry3ABpV0&feature=related
vs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJP8gWLc4IE
and a beck song
new pollution?
In the city - the jam
Holidays in the sun - Sex Pistols
'Gut of the Quantifier' by the Fall
and 'The Changeling' by the Doors.
'Made of Stone' by the Stone Roses
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6JQe724Wo0
the chorus borrows the melody of 'Velocity Girl' by Primal Scream.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8KynrRA1u8
Also, Hear Say - Pure and Simple, nicks the chord progression from All Around the World by Oasis.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVAmuWvKhIs
However, chords progressions aren't copywritable, only melodies. Otherwise some bloke who invented the guitar hundreds of years ago would own every song!.
...
Raconteurs - Steady as she goes vs. Joe Jackson - Is she really going out with him?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RWyFX3UO_E&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7aOWIFgIZQ
OMG
yes!
Velvet Underground
"I'm waiting for my man" (is it even called that?) was blatently ripped off by Oasis in one of their many mediocre album teacks of recent times.
foals/venice ahoy
the venice ahoy song is an amalgamation hummer/cassius/red socks pugie
Anything by Scouting for girls.
pretty much anything by
The Wedding Present.
They even had a t shirt printed which boasted 'All the songs sound the same' which I have, and I still love them dearly.
Cassius
and the other Foals songs
Passenger Iggy Pop
Save Tonight - Eagle Eye Cherry
Same chords.
We Are All On Drugs
by Weezer and The Diarrhea Song by primary school children, everywhere.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diarrhea_Song
intros
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly - I-Spy / Escape The Fate - My Apocalypse
same melody.
Texas - Black Eyed Boy
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - Tears of a Clown
every song ever
sounds the same
Videotape/Neon Bible
Definitely
Videotape - In Rainbows - Radiohead
Neon Bible - Neon Bible - Arcade Fire
Clinic!
Fire In My Heart
by Super Furries is basically If You're Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands slowed down.
Also opening riff of Frightened Rabbit's Go Go Girls is ripped off Shocker In Gloomtown by GBV.
.
Time To Pretend by MGMT sounds exactly like Sleepy California by Her Space Holiday
ting tings/ toni basil
any ting tings song with hey micky by toni basil
I put this earlier, but it deserves a second mention...
Coldplay's "Clocks" and Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" are exactly the same song... how'd they get away with this!!?
Can't Fight The Moonlight
by LeAnn Rimes blatantly plagiarises Aqua's Barbie Girl. And both are terrible.
Here's
mine:
Flux=Rad by Pavement
and Juicebox by The Strokes
Men's Needs by The Cribs
and Patty Lee by LSF
Mary Jo by Belle & Sebastian
and the song A Winter's Tale. But I think that's a Christmas carol. Does it count? It was annoying me for ages before I worked out what I thought it was.
I might be completely wrong though.
From around the same era
Eddie & The Hot Rods - Do Anything You Wanna Do and the Records - Starry Eyes
I was thinking this just the other day
here's one that only I seem to have ever noticed...
The Doves B-side 'Hit the Ground Running' (it's on their Lost Sides compilation) and Warren Zevon's 'Werewolves of London' are very similar...
probably already done it's a long thread
cajun dance party - forgotten its name
dirty pretty things- gin and milk
Radiohead Videotape
Sounds very similar to
'Not Yet Remembered' By Brian Eno
which is on his second Ambient album
I've noticed that
the beginnings of "Nothing's Goin' On" by Dinosaur Jr. and "Ring A Ding Ding" by Brakes sound almost identical.
sons and daughters
their recent single 'darling' sounds very similar to 'some weird sin' by iggy. not identical, mind...
oasis again
hindu times [main riff] = stereophonics - [a riff from] same size feet
stereogram - walkie talkie sounds a lot like terrorvision - pretend best friend
the intros on all night disco party [brakes] and standing in the way of control are similar
