call me crazy, but I was listening to the radio and then I hear a familiar tune and im like oh i know this song and its starts out the same and then its not the song i thought it was, ya see i thought i was listening to "Jack and Diane" from John Mellencamp, but it was really "I Think I'm in Love With You" by Jessica Simpson the beginning of these two songs sound the same I swear which if ya have heard Jack and Diane ya know how it starts out with the guitar in the beginning, well Jessica's song starts out the same way, has this ever happend with any other songs.

"Dream On"- Aerosmith
"Sing For The Moment"- Eminem
"Every Breath You Take"- The Police
"I'll Be Missing You"- Faith Evans, P.Diddy or Puff Daddy

There's probably more. It's like so many rap songs seem to sample other people's songs.

I could name all the songs rappers have ripped off - er, "sampled" - but I don't want to be here all week!

By the way, is it just me, or do the acoustic notes that follow the first verse of "Jack and Diane" sound like the opening notes of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car?" ("Da-da da DA. . . .")
