Intros that sound the same?
Can anyone think of two different songs from different artists that have very similar intros? (Excluding dance music.)
For example: Coldplay - In My Place and The Darkness - Love is Only a Feelings or John Lennon - Imagine and Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger or maybe Iggy Pop - The Passenger and Kingmaker - 10 Years Asleep or the first 2 notes of... Eternal - Save Our Love and Dina Caroll - Don't Be a Stranger or Boyzone - Picture of You and Spice Girls - Stop And then there are obvious ones like Eamon/Frankee! ![]() Any more? |

My Coo Catchoo by Alvin Stardust and
Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum Saw ol' Alvin on TOTP2 at the weekend and remembered what a massive Spirit rip-off the whole song is. I also remembered that he is a very strange man. |

The Kinks : "All Day and All of the Night" and "You Really Got Me" both sound similar, albeit not identical. You can certainly tell the same band is doing it!
Edit: my fault for not reading....i thought you could have the same artist! |

I always get Iggy Pop's 'lust for life' confused with Jet's 'Are you gonna be my girl' at the beginning for some reason.

The first few bars of Walking on the Moon by Police sound very similar to Hard Days Night by The Beatles.

Besides, saying it was more similar to the Doctor's version would clear Mr Stardust's name and that just isn't on!

I don't think they're actually the same, but the intro to Shoot The Runner always makes me think of Vindaloo (the song).
Also, the opening to Nelly Furtado's Maneater sounds a lot like the opening to Bohemian Like You. |
