lots of times i’ll hear songs and i’ll hear a bit that sounds like another song. i don’t know if these people just like those parts of songs so they put it in their songs, or if it’s serendipitious, or if it’s blatant theft. it seems like there’s a Tori song that has a bit in it that sounds like Gordon Lightfoot’s “The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald” but i can’t remember the Tori song. of course.

one that has bothered me recently (which is dumb cos they’re both old songs) is Liza/Petshop Boys “Losing my Mind” and Robbie Dupree’s “Steal Away” (just when you thought you’d get it OUT of your head, eh Carol?). it seems that the Petshop Boys just stole that riff.

Here’s Dupree’s song (which came befoer the Liza song):

and here’s Liza/Petshop Boys song:

or did they both rip off the Captain and Tennille?

and did you notice she’s not singing into any microphone? sweet.

another one that i can’t help but notice is (and this is lame i know) The Pointer Sisters’ (i love ’em) Neutron Dance:

and KT Tunstall’s “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree”

i mean, it’s ridiculous of me to think she stole their ‘woohoos’, but still. i can’t hear it without thinking of the Pointer Sisters. don’t get me wrong, i love both songs.
