Yusuf Islam, better known as '70s' rocker Cat Stevens, claims his song "Foreigner Suite" is behind the band's recent hit, "Viva La Vida," reports Britain's Sun.

This should be interesting. :eek: :lol:

all i can say is people need to open their minds to coincidence in cases like this. i recall writing a melody a few years ago and then learning a choir song that had a bass line damn near identical to it. i also once wrote something that i later heard in the background music of a sean paul song. **** happens, there are only seven degrees in a musical scale.
