You know the kind of thing: you're listening to a tune and it reminds you of one you heard years ago. It might be the chorus, the bridge or a similar rhythm but a different key.

I'll get the ball rolling with The Greatest Showman (released 2017): https://youtu.be/pSQk-4fddDI

and Eurovision Russia in 2015: https://youtu.be/Q2gbKglCL5s

He's so fine sounds like My Sweet Lord. Blurred Lines sounds like Got to Give it Up.

The song from the old Martini and Rossi commercial "You make me sparkle" reminds me of the song that goes "Even the nights are better" dont know the exact name..

AND I always thought Everybody Wants to Rule the World sounds similar to Take on me.

I think you mean the Air Supply song from 1981 https://youtu.be/BRx58DgOxeg


The chorus reminded me a bit of Arthur's Theme, recorded the same year: https://youtu.be/qqGWOxu_H4I


I think you've invented a new game..

Yeah that's the song, however the one from the Martini and Rossi commercial was made specifically for the commercial but when I was little they were I thought they were the same song. This is it [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfm--1WfGEQ
