Music Rip Off Thread

I believe this may have been what the storyline where Father Ted and Father Dougal ripped off Finn Huguen and the Huguenotes for “My Lovely Horse” may have been inspired by.

Ireland’s Call is a rip-off of most Westlife songs.

Boston - More than a feeling

I don’t think it’s a rip off per se, the lips wrote the song from the perspective of the son. The music was the same.

Fuck sake Farmer get with it!!

Almost a note perfect copy of

Love is a Stranger Eurythmics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6f593X6rv8

I do like both songs. But then that’s understandable seeing as how they are both the same song.

Cobain ‘coincidentally’ sings More Than A Feeling by Boston as he leads into Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Rip off or no rip off , the outro of Cobain roaring ‘A DENIAL’ as his voice is breaking gets me every time.

Is it just me or do these songs sound very similar?

I think much of LCD’s stuff is so heavily influenced it almost rips off Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers.

That Sam Smyth ‘song’ won a Grammy last week.

Just goes to show how much of a joke that competition is.
