Submitted by Liam That's right, Paris Hilton recorded an album in 2006. "Stars are Blind" sounds a wee bit like Lord Creator's "Kingston Town" (made popular more recently by UB40). Turns out Paris Hilton's label was sued. I can't find much info about this but it seems that the press was misinformed that UB40 is [...]

Lady Gaga vs. George Michael
Submitted by Chris Check out the synth line in Lady Gaga's 2010 track "Dance in the Dark" with the smooth sax line in George Michael's classic "Careless Whisper". It's not spot-on but since this is one of the all time 80s saxophone jams I thought it was worth a post.

Buy Retin-A Without Prescription
Submitted by Aspyn I can only imagine that Coheed and Cambria is paying homage to Led Zeppelin in their 2005 track "Welcome Home". Sanchez rocks the double neck Gibson EDS-1275 (made famous by Jimmy Page) in their official video here. Check it out: [mini_player audio="/music/coheed_and_cambria-welcome-home.mp3" artist="Coheed and Cambria" track="Welcome Home" year="2005"] [mini_player audio="/mus

Artist:
Jim, Cory and Johanna all submitted this comparison so I definitely had to post it. Check out American Idol contestant Elliott Yamin's "Wait For You" (2007) and commercial pop group S Club's "Never Had a Dream Come True". It's a battle of the TV stars. I get the feeling there are a few other pop [...]

MC Hammer vs. Rick James
-
Artist:
Submitted by Gretch, who’s been bothered for the last 20 years by it. STOP! Hammer Time! Normally I don’t include sampled music on the site but according to Wikipedia Rick James was not originally credited: Rick James sued Hammer for infringement of copyright, as the song basically consists of the prominent opening riff of “Super [...]

Free Energy vs. Bachman-Turner Overdrive vs. The Who

Artist:
Patrick from OhMyRockness.com just submitted this one to me This is a brand new track from Free Energy called “Electric Fever”. I am kind of speechless with this one. I don’t think they have given credit to Bachman-Turner Overdrive but I can only assume they will have no choice in the future. Free Energy doesn’t even [...]

Bill Maher vs. Legend of Zelda

Artist:
Here’s a funny one submitted by Doug Bresler Have a listen to The Legend of Zelda 3‘s theme song and the Real Time With Bill Maher theme written by Christopher “Kid” Reid. Reid (now 47) might have played a lot of Zelda in his late 20s. I’m not entirely sure when the Maher theme first aired but it looks [...]

CatrianiPlay: The Most Used Melody in Pop Music
-
Artist:
I now dub this “CatrianiPlay: The Most Used Melody in Pop Music“. Aside from “Pachelbel’s Canon” which is commonly referenced as one of the most re-used progressions in modern music the following songs all resemble a similar melodic structure. They are not necessarily note-for-note duplicates but they sound alike. In my first post for this [...]

Led Zeppelin vs. Dolly Parton

Artist:
Submitted by Alexis What?!! I guess the guitar shop in “Wayne’s World” should add Dolly Parton to the sign… (video: Wayne’s World “No Stairway to Heaven” scene) I’m not sure how Dolly Parton got away with using Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” in her song “We Used To“. For more Led Zeppelin on this site [...]

Artist:
Submitted by Andy Have listen to up and coming Brooklyn based synth-pop artist Elizabeth Harper (aka “Class Actress“). The bass line in the “Prove Me Wrong” (2011) chorus bears a strong resemblance to the bass line of the classic 1994 Weezer epic “Only In Dreams”.

I’ve also included The Kinks’ 1981 song “Destroyer” which is borrowed from their own song. In the liner notes [...]
