    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"... ;)

    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)

    I always thought this was a blatant bit of musical thievery! Well the opening part at least......

    The Coral - Dreaming of You
    Beatles - You Like Me Too Much

    Both have verses with Am and F in similar styles. Both have chorus of G and C (albeit the opposite ways round). It'd be blatent ripping off if it wasn't such a common progression.


    Radiohead - Wolf at the Door
    Beatles - Because

    Thought I'd say that before anyone else brings it up, although it's not really ripping off since Radiohead are pretty open about reusing Beatles riffs.

    no way

    Queen's goes:

    ding ding ding da da ding ding, ding ding ding ding da da ding ding

    and Ice's goes:

    ding ding ding da da ding ding, ding DING ding ding da da ding ding

    It's not the same.

    I love that you remember the EXACT thing that Vanilla Ice said about that, including the "it's not the same" thing. :)
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Errr, probably yeah. Didn't have the album at hand, checked track listings, knew it was one of the slower numbers. sorry.

    you know James Dean Bradfield actually covered Last Christmas on TFI Friday? I think the similarities on This is Yesterday were intentional.

    Didn't know that, no. But there's a cover of it on Lipstick Traces, actually it could be from TFI Friday.
    Saw them at Wembley Arena in 98, was in December and they ended with Last Christmas. When I pointed out the possible origin to my mate who was a major MSP fan he was "hmmm, huh, well....." , just didn't wanna accept it.

    Check this one:
    Timbaland '' the way i are'' and salt and pepa ''push it''
    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ivy1U4H2KVQ&feature=related

    everyone knows that the melody to Way I Are is blatant Push-It. the hip hop it's totally fake.....

    WIKIPEDIA.ORG writes:
    Often "samples" consist of one part of a song, such as a break, used in another, for instance the use of the drum introduction from Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" in songs by the Beastie Boys, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mike Oldfield, Rob Dougan and Erasure, and the guitar riffs from Foreigner's "Hot Blooded" in Tone-Loc's "Funky Cold Medina".

    In 2005, music blog Library of Vinyl Experience compiled sample frequency data obtained from the sample database The Sample FAQ. The goal was to determine what year was “The Funkiest Year Ever” by counting the number of times samples from a particular year were used in hip hop songs. The bulk of the samples used in hip hop were from the years 1970-1975, the most being 872 different songs from 1973, making it “The Funkiest Year Ever”. Some of 1973s most sampled songs include: The Incredible Bongo Band’s “Apache”, which was sampled 45 times, Barry White’s “I’m Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Babe”, which was sampled 33 times, Kool and the Gang’s “Jungle Boogie”, which was sampled 45 times, and The Honey Drippers' “Impeach the President”, which was sampled 115 times.[1]
