Coldplay the scientist and SUm 41 pieces, two the point you can put both songs on top of each other and it makes a pretty good mash up, pieces of a scientist : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaXhchO5hqs

"ghostbusters" by ray Parker junior

And "I wanna new drug" by Huey Lewis & the news

Turn Around by Bruno Mars
Everybody in Love by JLS

California Gurla by Katy Perry
Tik Tok by Kesha

That is the perfect example in my opinion.

I have to say as a fan of rock and rap music girls aloud arn't really on my radar but i remember this song when it was released and always had a soft spot for it! While they may have a similar chord progression i wouldn't say they are that similar. Green Days boulavard of dreams sounds much more like wonderwall!

Fergalicious by Fergie
Jai Ho by Nicole Scherzinger

That's not the only song it sounds like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEGcz6KYxcM

Is that a dig at how Nicole does all the singing whilst the other Pussycat Dolls just prance around?

Rihanna ft Drae- Whats my name

Sean Paul ft Alexis Jordan- Got To Luv Ya

Its basically the same song!

Yeah, quite similar.

But have you heard Not to Love You by Ryan Tedder? Now, that's actually EXACTLY the same song!

A-hem!!! John Barry, please!

I seem to remember that Robbie Williams may have asked John Barry's estate for permission there...

I love 'Eighties' by killing Joke. Yeh I can see that Dave Grohl is a known big fan of Killing Joke.

Doesn't Cheryl also borrow from Toploader's Dancing in the Moonlight?

Yeah - they also got sued for it after it was pointed out on a Radio 1 documentary - "in Search of the Lost Riff"

Alicia Keys - Doesn't mean anything

&

Bruno Mars - Just the way you are


Mash up

Sorry if someone's already posted this!

Neil Innes - How Sweet To Be An Idiot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ9EWcaS7II
and
Oasis - Whatever (opening lines) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R53oe3VbRFo&feature=fvst

La Bamba (opening) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp6j5HJ-Cok
and
The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ga9Bs4fzSY

The Beatles - Strawberry Fields http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDU--RU1YvM&feature=fvst
and
Neil Innes - The Raggy Dolls theme (The openings are similar). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsBRMhaKPps

Parts of the piano song that were used on the Honda ad a while back sound very similar to Time of Your Life by Green Day

I think the piano music is called "Summer" - now I cant find the ad

Rihanna - Only Girl (In the world)

Nicole Sherzinger - Wet

Moby Grape - Never
Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You

Jake Holmes - Dazed and Confused
Led Zeppelin- Dazed And Confused

Muddy Waters - You need love
Small Faces - You Need Loving
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

Spirit - Taurus
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven

In all cases Led Zeppelin "borrowed" from other artists
----------------------------------------

Astrud Gilberto - Maria Quiet
Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water

It's A Beautiful Day - Bombay Calling
Deep Purple-Child in Time

Of course it was Deep Purple who "borrowed" few ideas
-----------------------------------------

Bleak House-Rainbow Warrior
Metallica- Welcome home (Sanitarium)

Excel-Tapping Into The Emotional Void
Metallica - Enter Sandman

Metallica is also good in plagiarising other artists...

Another example, though this one wasn't plagiarised. Marriott asked Hendrix if he could use this great riff. They were at Olympic studios at the same time recording their albums.

Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady
Small Faces - Rollin' Over

James Blunt's new single Dangerous sounds like someone has mixed together the verse of Chesney Hawkes' 'I am the one and only' and the chorus of Maniac by Michael Sembello to create a new (and annoying) song.

This Time by Funk Deluxe

Walking The Line by Brass Construction

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2pB_7YX5zA

LOL oh gosh i shall give it a look this evening!

Does anyone know what that piano song on the recent Honda ad was with the poem (roadsides are boring/Winters are cold) etc?

Although i dont think it sounds similar i think its a total rip off and madonna should sue the ass of gaga

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5jdb...eature=related

i do like the mash up though but this just proves my point
