I have a strong suspicion that whoever wrote Steps' 'Summer Of Love' had been listening to 'Flashdance' prior to writing the chorus, and Saint Etienne's 'Pale Movie' the melody.

Boney M - Still I'm Sad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ9KMOFEgvI

The Tokens - The Lion Sleeps Tonight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBmUwi6mEo

Similar sounding verses.

---------------------------------------------

Boney M - Sunny

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQMqnRYt-nw

Mark Ronson - Ooh Wee

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpayJn3Ch5M







(okay, he sampled the beginning of the song!) I thought it was a new song until I heard the original Boney M song!
This pre-dates Boney M. Miriam Makeba "Mbube"

http://youtu.be/0fEHguhykD8

I've always found these two to be very similar. If you are not convinced by the overall feel of the songs, skip to the music breaks (about 3.13 and 2.98 respectively)

Nik Kershaw "Wouldn'it It Be Good"
http://youtu.be/fIBzbdo2LjU

Kylie Minogue "Got To Be Certain"
http://youtu.be/8GV1CRmQUG4

Recently when Billy Ocean - Caribbean Queen was on the radio, my dad pointed out that it sounds like Michael Jackson - Billie Jean; I'd never noticed this before.

Charlie Brooker just informed me of 'War Canoe' by Rolf Harris: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWi98GTGXH0

By all accounts Adam Ant decided it would be wisest to settle out of court.

Alot of songs sound similar to Nicki Minaj - Superbass, the sample she uses in the instrumental is used my almost every artist these days.

The guitar intro of Rihanna - California King Bed sounds like that of Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends.

I think Swagger Jagger sounds a bit like Run the World.

But I like both songs.

Take that - Shine

Vanessa Carlton - A thousand miles
Cheryl Cole - Waiting (messy little raindrops)


Cheryl made it into a dance tune.
Wasn't that the point of "Waiting" .. To sample "A Thousand Miles" and turn it into a dance track?

Nicole Scherzinger - Wet

Rihanna - Only Girl

The chorus from Wet is almost a copy/paste of Only Girl, and the breakdown sounds like a part of S&M also by Rihanna especially with the drum sounds...

Yes, it does to me.

Also, I heard a song which sounded exactly like Paparazzi by Lady Gaga a while ago, but I can't remember what it was. It's a very well-known song, and it's from about the 80's I think.

Whilst washing the dishes earlier, it suddenly struck me how Ant & Dec's 'Shout' fits (if you sing it slightly faster) the tune of Elton John's 'I'm Still Standing' perfectly

I have already mentioned that Plan B's She Said reminded me of Pixie's Mama Do. Well, Mama Do sounds a bit like Rosie Vela's Magic Smile

The hook from Pet Shop Boys' 1988 UK #1 Heart bears a suspicious resemblance to the opening hook from the obscure 1986 dance hit Jump Back by Dhar Braxton.
