madra sneachta Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I was listening to They Might Be Giants' "Severe Tyre Damage" the other day, and as 'They Got Lost' was playing, it struck me that the verses were really similar to the initial vocal on ELP's 'Karn Evil No. 9 - 1st Impression'. There have been other well documented ones over the years - The Doors 'Hello I Love You' & The Kinks 'All Day And All Of The Night' Ray Parker Jnr 'Ghostbusters' & Huey Lewis and The News 'I Need A New Drug' Elastica 'Connection' & Wire 'Three Girl Rhumba' Any others come to mind??

Dweezil Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Similar to sampling? Sampling really bugs me. All the young peeps think that these pop artists came up with the tune themselves when in reality, most of their "songs" are created using sampling. Okay, I'm off subject a bit here, but sampling bugs me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I'm off subject a bit here, but sampling bugs me. I agree 100% Same thing goes with cover songs. If an artist is going to cover another artist, they need to make it perfectly clear that they are not the ones who wrote the song. I cant tell you how many little people I've met who think No Doubt wrote "Its My Life" or *cringes* think Limp Bizkit wrote "Behind Blue Eyes".

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 The verses of Shania Twain's exclaimation point anthem "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" and Aerosmith's classic "Uncle Salty" are very much alike. Seriously! Yeah, you're all making that "yeah, right" face right now, so I made a little clip of both verses put together. Here's proof that Shania and hubby Mutt Lange are thieves.

anagramking Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 George Harrison's My Sweet Lord/The Chiffons' He's So Fine (Harrison was sued and lost, deservedly so, I have to admit.) I've already said U2's Vertigo and the Supremes' Keep Me Hangin' On. London Calling (Clash)/Getting Better (Beatles) Sun King (Beatles)/Lonely Days (Bee Gees) Romeo's Delight (Van Halen)/Kick Start My Heart (Motley Crue) there's a part in the middle of each song that is identical I Want You/She's So Heavy (Beatles)/Without You (Motley Crue) Bullet the Blue Sky (U2)/Stranglehold (Nugent) Not completely, but there are parts that strike me as similar That song by the Strokes/American Girl (Tom Petty) Achilles' Last Stand (Led Zeppelin)/Barracuda (Heart) The Wilson sisters admit as much. I'll post other if and when I think of them. The Shania Twain lift from Neil Young was an excellent find, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheriffJohnBrown Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 On "Our Song" by Yes (from 90125), they totally steal a riff from "Carry On Wayward Son" (not the main riff, the transitional one right after it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anagramking Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Just discoverd this one while on vacation this past week: You Might Think (Cars) / Burning Love (Elvis Presley) This one was so blatant.

Slaine mac Roth Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 According to someone who was in a lower year than me at school (we're talking about 1982), Led Zeppelin's Rock'n'Roll was a rip off of Status Quo's osng of the same name.
