The fact is so many songs nowadays use the same producers, or the same sounds/rhythms etc. As well as the same chord progressions etc
Far East Movement - Rocketeer chorus and Justin Bieber - Somebody to Love have the sound effect The end of the Comfort TV advert and Labrinth - Let The Sun Shine |

Lily Allen - Who'd Have Known
Take That - Shine If you haven't heard Lily Allen's track, go take a listen. It's a very nice song but the chorus is exactly the same to Take That's Shine. |

This kind of annoyed me. I understand it does in some parts, but its completely different, the timing, the beats etc...
I don't think she would have deliberately copied, and their reaction was OTT wanting to sue her. |

The chorus of Shakira's "Whenever, Wherever" bares some quite striking similarities to the chorus of Iron Maiden's self-titled track
![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_LkjpYx8do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJDcVj3FTZ4 Don't think it was plagiarism as I can't imagine Shakira being inspired by Iron Maiden, but it does have similarities! |

Apparently they noticed they had come up with the same chord progression as Shine for the song, so they decided to go all the way and see if they could sample it. Lily Allen and Take That performed a mash-up of the songs at Children in Need, even! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gyZ6ZBSWfo I love both songs. I always like it when artists acknowledge their songs sound similar, and embrace it, instead of whining about it and pretending they sound completely different. ![]() EDIT: Damn, the above posted beat me to it!!!

They're produced by the same people (the Stereotypes), and the Justin Bieber song is actually sampling that sound effect-Rocketeer was made first.
![]() Same thing with The Wanted - All Time Low and their new one, Gold Forever. Except that's gone a bit over the top with the fact they're practically the exact same instrumental just with different chords |

Olly Murs - Thinking Of Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRCi83P4-VY Dodgy - Good Enough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qapDnDDHNfs I'm sure his people would refer to this as "sampling" rather than "blatantly ripping-off", though. |

There's something about Pink's "Perfect". It sounds like a mash-up of so many different songs!

Rolling Stones - Street Fighting Man
Oasis - Lyla Its the rhythm and tune of the verse. Oasis being very "reminiscent" of another 60's band - who'd have thought it? |

Dawn Penn's You Don't Love Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ-7v4M6U-0 sounds like Dave & Ansil Collins' Double Barrel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_7Kx2FlFQY
You Don't Love Me does so not sound like 1994! |

Millenium by Robbie Williams was a direct nick from You Only Live twice (Bond theme) by Nancy Sinatra.

Billy Ocean's 'Love really Hurts'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhosAvettHk is amazingly similar to the old Four tops song 'I can't help myself' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aigRZ-1LjH0 |

Kelly Rowland's new single What a Feeling sounds like the Saturdays' Forever is Over meets Procol Harum's Conquistador
Kelly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbHUzxhzemU Sats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGPwmr2FWn4 Procol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja7cuVh96AI There was another thread on songs that sound similar from 2008-10 here: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=790144 |

yesterday, I confused Sophie EB's Cut Straight To The Heart with Air's Venus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RmPJ9AYl5o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_7oOMzbpa0 Apart from the sombre piano chords, I guess they're isn't much similarity really. |

I honestly thought Jessie J's - Price Tag sounded like a Natasha Bedingfield song. I can't think which one though

![]() Although I think Price Tag sounds like Where is the Love? by the Black Eyed Peas. |

Jessie J - Nobody's Perfect
Rihanna - Umbrella You'll probably think this is a terrible match, but listen to the chorus of Nobody's Perfect, and you can sing the Umbrella chorus over the top of it perfectly. |
