Some songs sound very simular in key and arrangement.The most likely reason being,both songs were written by the same writer.

Here are some examples:
-----------------------

Paul Anka's"Put Your Head On My Shoulder"and"Puppy Love"

Roy Orbison's"Only The Lonely"and"Blue Angel"

Bonnie Tyler's"Total Eclipse Of The Heart"and Air Supply's"Making Love Out Of Nothing At All"(both were written by Jim Steinmen)

Sneaker's"More Than Just The Two Of Us",Toto's"I Can't Hold You Back Now"and Paul Anka's"Hold Me Till The Morning Comes"

Usher's "Burn", and Chris Brown's "Say Goodbye"

Buddy Holly's

Bo Diddley

Not Fade Away
(Both have the same beat, known as the 'Bo Diddley beat'

Bonnie Tyler's"Total Eclipse Of The Heart"and Air Supply's"Making Love Out Of Nothing At All"(both were written by Jim Steinmen)

I definitely see where you're coming from. Both are very similar in chords, arrangement, and style.

I think almost all of Neil Sedaka's song's sound the same.

Silver Convention's "Fly Robin Fly" and "Get Up and Boogie." Both have that awesome disco violin recurring in and out and the title chant done by the ladies.

The Ballad Of John and Yoko- The Beatles and Truckin'-Grateful Dead

Boogie Nights by Heatwave and some song off of MJ's Off The Wall album(It might be Off The Wall song). They have similar background music..................

One of the most famous examples is ...

"He's So Fine" - by The Chiffons and "My Sweet Lord" - by George Harrison.

There was even a lawsuit (which the former Beatle lost).

Two U2 tracks: The live version of "Bad" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". "A White Sport Coat And A Pink Carnation" by Marty Robbins and "You're So Fine" by The Falcons, at least the opening hooks to the two songs.

Here are two:

"Think of Laura" - Christopher Cross (1983)
"On And On" - Stephen Bishop (1977)

No Doubts Underneath it All and Paris Hiltons crappy new song.

Every song by Mariah Carey!

;)

No Doubts Underneath it All and Paris Hiltons crappy new song.

Hey, you called Paris Hilton's new song a crappy new song!:eek: Everybody else says that song is not too bad(Well at least people on E! say that it's not too bad and that it's catchy and that you can dance too. They said that it'll get stuck in your head........).......................

I just thought of two more pairs!

"I Want Candy" - The Strangeloves (1965)
"Willie and the Hand Jive" - The Johnny Otis Show (1958)

Both "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever" by The Bee Gees off of the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack sound the same at the beginning.

Oops, I meant "More Than A Woman" and "Night Fever" by the Bee Gees. Wrong "SNF" song! The beginnings are hard to differentiate.

You mean every song by Chuck Berry, too!! OMG he has the same driving beat in every song!! It's all just reworded. Please don't ever listen to all of Chuck Berry's hits at once!! It'll give you a headache. He's only listenable in small incriments!!

"Jack and Diane" by John Mellencamp and "I Think I'm In Love" (I think that's what it's called) by Jessica Simpson.

"SOS" by Rhianna and "Tainted Love" by Softcell

"Under Pressure" by Queen and "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice

If we start using songs that have samples from others songs in them, this thread could go on for awhile. :lol:

Well Vanilla Ice claims that he didn't steal Queen's music and his is entirely different (I mean, it isn't but whatev)...

I found two more pairs!

"Love's Theme" - Love Unlimited Orchestra (1973)
"Dance With Me" - Orleans (1975)

"Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" - The Royal Guardsmen (1966)
"Snoopy's Christmas" (which I used to think was "Christmas Bells") - The Royal Guardsmen (1967)

Any Status Quo song.....but i love 'em!!!!

"Lean with it rock with it" and "i betcha cant do it like me"

"How You Remind Me" AND "Someday" from Nickelback.

I'm not a Nickelback fan but my brother showed me a website where this guy was able to play the 2 songs together and they do sound very similar. Of course, there are some angry Nickelback fans who are still debating this!!

Michael Jackson's Rock With You and Baby be Mine.

"Good Times" by Chic and "Rappers Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang.

Cream's "We're Going Wrong" and Robin Trower's "About to Begin."

I was listening to Year of the Cat by Al Stewart the other day and I noticed that it took bits and pieces from American Pie by Don McLean...anyone else notice that?!

I agree with you there. :) I once heard IWAND played on XM Satellite, and I thought, "Hey! That's Ghostbusters! I then pressed, "INFO" on my DirecTV(Just for fun) and saw, "I Want A New Drug by Huey Lewis And The News! I was like, :eek:

Just heard this (http://www.esnips.com/doc/f90c5631-be36-4fbe-a97b-925ffc3e53f5/Stefy---Chelsea) today.

Boy, it sure reminds me a lot of Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics.

I like it though. ;)

"Dream On" - Aerosmith (1973)
"Before He Cheats" - Carrie Underwood (2007)
