Songs that sound like other songs Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

There's certain songs out there that sound like other songs. Do they sound like these songs intentionally? Or is it just a coincidence? Whatever the reason is, there is more than one song like this.

Examples:


The main riff in U2's I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight sounds alot like Journey's Faithfully.

Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters sounds like I Want A New Drug by Huey Lewis & The News.

This is just what I know off the top of my head.

Kids Rock, (think that's his name, Pamler Andersons EX) his latest song
eg lyric "We were smoking funny things" (just google called "All Summer Long"
everytime I hear the start of it, I start singing "Werewolves of London"
many be it's the start up rift that reminds me

(oh I feel old, tried explaining it to one of the younger people I work with - they looked at me and asked If it had something to do with Twilight or Trueblood - oneday they will rehash or mix Werewolves of London and they will things it's new)

Oh, LW, NO!

I still get creeped out by what UB40 did to Red Red Wine! And I like Reggae.

I have no desire to hear a rap or modern punk version of Werewolves of London.

I didn't know Red Red Wine was a cover. Who originally did it? And speaking of bad cover songs, I HATE what those no-talent scum Soft Cell did to Gloria Jones' Tainted Love. They messed it up, and look what happened! Their horrible version is more popular than the original! And it's because of them that now we have more horrible cover versions by PCD and Marilyn Manson among others. But anyway, let's get back on subject. This thread's not about bad cover versions, it's about songs that sound like other songs.

Allen, Niel Diamond wrote and recorded in the 60's or 70's long before UB40 was around. He also wrote the theme song for The Monkees tv show.

Red Red Wine had a slow morose tempo originally.


Speaking of covers. While Whitney Houston recorded 'I Will Always Love You', Dolly Parton wrote and recorded that song before Houston was recording, and did the better version in my opinion.

I actually like Soft Cell's version of Tainted Love.

I wonder about the current craze of "sampling" - where bits of other songs are included in new ones. It's a tribute, of a sorts, but if a songwriter is talented, then they shouldn't need to.

Sampling's been around for a couple of decades. After a while, it becomes amazing to find a song that someone actually wrote and performed all by themselves.

This is very true. And that's why I don't listen to most modern music, because most of it is dime-a-dozen punk bands or cookie cutter rappers ripping off older songs. I'll never forgive Jay-Z for what he did to Alphaville's Forever Young in his song "Young Forever". Hey, there we go! Let's invert the title! No one will EVER know it's ripped off now!

Ah, thanks TJ! I wondered about but just had to ask anyway.

Madonna did American Pie? I'm kind of glad I missed that.

The Rod Stewart song is fun... but the Alphaville version is quite different, musically.

As for American Pie, the best version of it, IMHO, is The Saga Begins.... Starwars

The Forever Young songs by Bob Dylan, Alphaville and Rod Stewart are three entirely different songs. The only thing they share is the title. Alphaville's song is just amazing. I can listen to that song thousands of times without ever getting sick of it. It's that good.

My DH has linked that song with the incoming calls on his mobile from my behalf ... he just knows that I love it and that it's the song that I mostly hum!
