The Bangles - Manic Monday (written by Prince)

Prince - 1999
One of the more famous rip offs. The G string probably gets ripped off more than anything mind you.
Bach, Air

Procul Harlem, Whiter shade of pale
These two were both released in the summer of 1997 so I donât know who ripped off who - listen to the opening bars of each.
Radiohead - Karma Police

Gorkyâs Zygotic Mynci - Dark Night
Not too unlike another Gorkyâs song actually.
I wonder whoâll recognise the opening few bars of this:
In the Midnight Hour by Wilson Pickett?
No, an even bigger anthem than that if you can imagine such a thing.

Ok maybe Iâm being harsh here, the songs themselves arenât too similarâŚhowever the song concept with the repetition of the word âhammerâ in both and this Metric vocalistâs attempt to sound as much like one of the Deal sisters as she possibly can doesnât help matters. What do ye think? For me thereâs no question in my mind that Metric have based their song solely on The Breeders classic.
Visage - Fade to Grey (great tune)

The Smiths - Rusholme Ruffians

Elvis Presley - His Latest Flame
[quote=âSHANNONSIDER, post: 368096, member: 166â]You might like this one Farmer, I think itâs probably the most brazen Iâve ever heard, and used for the title track no less.

At 25 seconds, Oasis launch into their âThe One I Loveâ rip off.

I see the top video is a fabrication.
