What song sound like another song, when you hear it on the radio?

Example 1.

My Chemical Romance song "I don't love you" reminds me of the begining of Coldplay's "Yellow."

    Pearl Jam's "Sad" and Rolling Stones' "Paint it black".
    The jam at the end of "Layla" (Spelling?) and the end of Pearl Jam's "Rearviewmirror".
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    To me, the intro to Pearl Jam's "Marker In The Sand" sounds a lot like The Guess Who's "American Woman"

    Weezer's "Hash Pipe" and Bon Jovi's "you give love a bad name"

    Listen to the riff.

    and they both yell out that "woaaaa--oh" the same.

    The intro to PJ's long road ALWAYS reminds me of Heroin by the VU
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" sounds vaguely like Queen's "Under Pressure" if you listen hard enough.

    Ha ha ha
    Ho ho ho
    He he he.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    Two Springsteen songs- "Blood Brothers" and "Devil's and Dust" - sound almost exactly the same. Especially the harmonica parts.

    The bassline in Fugazi's "Burning" and PJ's "Satan's Bed" sound the same to me.

    Also, the Beatles' "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da" sounds kinda like the Offspring's "Why Don't You Get A Job"... ;)
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Let's see:

    Breakerfall is the most Whoish thing PJ has done, I can't pinpopint one song it sounds like but it sounds like the riff was taken from Trick of the Light (which is admittedly is terrible song with one awesome riff).

    Soon Forget and Blue Red and Grey: obvious

    Do the Evolution ---> The Last Time (Rolling Stones)

    Big Wave ----> Never Named (SG)

    Long Road (w/ Matt)----> Like Suicide (SG)----> Jenny (Sleater Kinney)

    I Got Shit----> Cinnamon Girl

    Sad----> [Doesn't sound like any specific Sleater Kinney song, but it sounds like Ed was listening to The Hot Rock album when he wrote it]

    Far Behind----> We Got A Hit (the Who)

    Yellow Ledbetter----> Little Wing (obviously)
