Songs that rip off other songs.

[Bill Walker]

Wasn't that intentional though rather than ripping it off?
Every song in the LP was a homage to different 60s/70s musicians

I've no idea mate, I just heard that one song one time.
Haha

ABBA

Amazing how much they copied ABBA

Was catching up over the weekend on the death of CP Lee (completely passed me by at the time) and came across this 1979 clear ’inspiration’ for Blue Monday.

The Spanish ripped off the theme from Blackadder for their National Anthem.

 

[dickie davies]

Rips off

 

[GabrieliusDelap]

Yes.
Which came first ?

I can't remember: did ABBA and Brotherhood of Man alternate single releases or did ABBA release one then Brotherhood of Man release two, then back to ABBA again, to be fairer?

I'm pretty certain that Pink Floyd had been enjoying this majestic track when they came up with Shine On You Crazy Diamond.




Neil Young wrote Ambulance Blues after hearing this song

 

[Bill Walker]

Brian Wilson completely lifted Surfin' USA from Chuck Berry's Sweet Little Sixteen. No doubt Murray Wilson thought they could get away with it, until Chuck Berry and his publisher put their foot down, earning Berry a co-writing credit and his publisher the rights to the song.

What I will say is Bono looks as though he's got some of his dramatic looks/ moves....from Gavin Friday- best mate, lead singer of The Virgin Prunes,one of the best bands on the planet imo.;)
