The blatant rip off thread

I'll go first.

What, do you mean the chord sequence...?
I couldn't really hear that much of a similarity in vocal melodies. And chord sequences are free to use again and again and again as far as I know.
Or are you referring to some kind of similarity in melody between the two songs...?

Take Echo and the Bunnymen's Zimbo....

Meanwhile, in early 1970s Czechoslovakia, the classic adventure film "Three nuts for Cinderella" is recorded with this score:http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=iMblk3L8nOQ&feature=related

25 years later, as one Steven Morrissey records Used to be a sweet boy, there's something rather familiar about the instrumental theme towards the end.

Speaking of the Pixies - I wouldn't call it a rip-off exactly, but am I the only one who hears quite a lot in common between the final parts of the Stranglers' Golden Brown and the Pixies' Alec Eiffel?

Magnificent songs both, by the way.

cheers
