Thought this might make a fun thread.

Anyway, I nominate these two:

Just One Look by Doris Troy

Hotel Song by Regina Spektor

And these two:

Promise To Try by Madonna

Ave Maria by Beyonce

And these two:

What I Got by Sublime

Lady Madonna by The Beatles

I think the second two sets are coincidences, but I think Regina Spektor lifted a little bit of the melody in Just One Look. I could be wrong tho.

I was going to put Paper Planes by MIA because it sounds a hell of alot like Straight to Hell by The Clash, but then I found out she sampled it.

What are some songs that you guys think sound very similar as far as melody or the instrumental is concerned?

Oh yeah, this too:

Sexy Sadie by The Beatles

Karma Police by Radiohead

When Thom Yorke sings, "This is what you get," you'll hear the similarities loud and clear. Alot of you probably all ready know about them.

I'm pretty sure this one is intentional tho since Sexy Sadie is a song about karma.
