80's song is a slower version of Clairvoyants

BostonGaarden

Had been bugging me since it came out - could not quite place it yet I knew it was an 80's beat - finally came to me.  Slower version of Clairvoyants but sounds same to me....Frida - "There's Something Going On".  Cant be a coincidence....am I wrong?

In all seriousness, I don't hear what it is you think you are hearing other than a beat.  And basically there are a thousand new wave/post punk songs that have similar beat structures.

"Little Wing"-->"Yellow Ledbetter"
"Fearless"-->"Who You Are"

I thought Beatles' Two of us was Who you are?

The only similar part is the drum pattern.

That, too, but the bridge is totally "Fearless"

Methinks you stumbled upon Mach III.

Just exactly what the hell was that?  And why did I watch the whole thing?  I kept waiting for Euro Pat Benatar to crack the case wide open, and violently confront this guy.  But it never really got there for me.  I guess this song was similar to DotC, in that both songs contain drums, guitar, and vocals.  Here the similarities end.

Only made it 23 seconds into the video. Ouch those vocals. The beat is similar, that's it.

What about this one? My friend says DotC sounds exactly like it:

I must be the only person in the world who doesn't hear the GTC/GTF similarities; one is a quiet folk song the other is a big arena rocker singalong.  But Ibiza Bar/Breath, yeah I totally get that. Never considered it before but thank you for pointing it out. Speaking of lesser-known Pink Floyd songs, I think PJ/Ed would kill on a cover of The Gold It's In The?

Mike has publicly acknowledged the “similarities” to Going to California.

There are only so many notes in so many combinations, musical ideas are almost going to almost always tread on something somewhere done before, or a simple chord progression will inspire the use of varied chord progression etc 

The basic elements of the Simpsons theme song can be found in King Crimsons Fracture.  Did Danny Elfman lift it? Did he just stumble into a great orchestration idea?  Or was he a huge Crimson fan who loved the two parts of Fracture that explicitly have the same basic structure?

I can't remember off the top of my head because I am old and I foolishly forget to write things down, but there is another song that is entirely a clone of Fearless, and it is not just in the attack of the chord progression style like who you are, it is a borderline note for note chord for chord lift.   I will remember randomly in a few weeks.
