See https://twitter.com/absrdst/status/980577885995008002 for how extremely similar they sound
Sounds very similar to the chorus and other parts of Rappers Delight by The Sugar Hill Gang, but I've just read here http://flavorwire.com/489363/the-6-best-new-songs-we-heard-this-week-mark-ronson-with-bruno-mars-mary-j-blige-with-disclosure that "James Brown’s “Living in America” x the Ghostbusters theme x Prince circa Purple Rain x The Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” = “Uptown Funk.” ... it's all recycled hits"
Just been listening to the new song by James Arthur 'Safe Inside' and all i can hear is Blink 182 'I Miss You' .. nobody i know has commented on it or thought it until i point it out, anyone else think so?
I was at work listening to Music Choice on satellite, when the exact guitar riffs for America's "Horse With No Name" came on... then the lyrics started, a group of girls/women singing a totally different song over the now continuing America melody. I thought it was TLC or Destiny's Child, but I can't find it... Anyone????
The Rolling Stones, “Bitch” (1970) vs. ”Opening” of “A Chorus Line” (1975).
The Rolling Stones, "Anybody Seen My Baby" vs. "Constant Craving" by k. d. lang (mentioned on the song's wikipedia page)
"Africa" by Toto vs. "Fireflies" by Owl City.....I can't remember the names of the songs and this is odd but both Rosanna and Africa by toto sound like separate songs by Curtis mayfield both on superfly sound track
Christina Perri - A Thousand Years vs. The Fray - Look After You
The Hollies "The Air That I Breathe" and the part midway through Radiohead's "Creep". Direct melody ripoff.
Another random one- this one from a Canadian from Vancouver, B.C., I know I am not of Yugoslav descent but I am big fan of pop music from ex-Yugoslavia (LOL); Elise Estrada's 2009 song "Poison" amazingly sounds to me like a song from 1970s and 1980s pop legend from Croatia- "Volim Te" (I Love You) by Dusko Lokin (1978/79), at least the latter song's intro; kind of makes sense, because at the time of her debut album's release, in 2008, one of the DJs at the local CHR radio station and the station that she made her debut as a professional singer was of Croatian descent herself- Sandra Klaric.
Also by Elise Estrada- her 2009/2010 single "One Last Time" sounds like Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler" (1978/79). Direct melody ripoff in the song's intro and chorus. (unsigned post by 207.102.59.253)
Here's one that Traveled thru the ages: pink pedal pushers by Carl Perkins begat blank generation by Richard hell begat stray cat strut which finalized in brain stew by Green Day
Telephone line by Eli inspired 21 guns by Green Day but all the young dudes by Mott came first
After 33 years it hit me today that I never knew love like this before was obviously the source for borderline by madonna and obviously since the same guy wrote em it's a no brainer
Let your love flow by the Bellamy bros inspired the chorus for pontoon by little big town but check out soundalike chorus on little know kiss song from 1974 called mainline
Stiletto by Billy Joel sounds just like rise by herb Albert and I only noticed it after buying 52nd street in 2016 although the tape was one of the first I bought and loved as a first grader in 1978
What is the policy for discussing video-game music on this article? I see a couple of examples where one song in the comparison is from a video game (Hip Tanaka - Chill). What about alleged cryptomnesia between two video-game songs? Do we need to create a separate article for that? Eighty5cacao 10:13, 19 August 2010 (MST)
To answer a question brought up in an edit summary: Ordinarily, only the year of a song's first publication is needed. It is helpful to add the month if the songs were first published in the same year or successive years (e.g. 2001 vs. 2002) to establish how likely it is that the writer of one song had heard the other. --Tepples 12:36, 24 August 2010 (MST)
Journey - Don't Stop Believin' vs. Hosanna! Music - Blessed Be the Lord (1992) when I went back to it, they weren't as similar as I thought, but I might be able to stretch it if I get time to make a juxtaposition. --Tepples 10:35, 5 September 2010 (MST)

This could also have been posted to [[Template talk:Non-free stsa]] but I wasn't sure
I've noticed that your mashups tend to separate the two songs by stereo channels, with the minimum of editing necessary. What about mashups that require a greater degree of creative editing to adequately demonstrate the similarity? Is it acceptable for these to be uploaded to the wiki and given the {{non-free stsa}} template, provided that an adequate rationale is written? Or should they be preferentially uploaded elsewhere?
(For examples of greater creativity, see certain examples which are currently linked on the STSA pages.) Does the wording of {{non-free stsa}} need to be adjusted? Eighty5cacao 17:59, 23 March 2011 (MST) (last edit 08:47, 24 March 2011 (MST))

Sort of weak: Eagles - The Long Run vs. Richard Marx - Don't Mean Nothing. The middle eight of the latter could be dropped into the former and no one would notice. --Tepples (talk) 17:08, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
The long run is a rip on an old song covered by seger called trying to live my life without you which makes sense bc seger and Frey were friends.....also seger gh poached the chorus for shake down from a portion of those shoes by the eagles as well
A weaker match for "In Your Eyes" is "Sugar We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy (the "YouTube from the closet" song). --Tepples (talk) 15:36, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
If "Not gonna happen" was meant to imply that a demo is impossible to distribute in the United States due to YouTube copyright enforcement, that should be clarified. Or was it a misplaced note about lyrics? --Eighty5cacao (talk) 21:37, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Another group pending investigation:
--Tepples (talk) 03:38, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
Just a visitor to your site (and Slashdot user). I have one to add. A Thousand Years by Christina Perri vs. Twenty-Four by Switchfoot. Compare "Oh, Oh, I am the second man" and the rest of that section in Twenty-Four with "I have died everyday, waiting for you" in A Thousand Years. Identical melody for several lines. 24.107.33.116 21:48, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
Dickie Jones (as Pinocchio) - I've Got No Strings (1940) vs. Queen - Killer Queen (1974) or perhaps my memory of the Super NES game adaptation is messing me up. --Tepples (talk) 00:03, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
Rejected: Flight of the Bumblebee Written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (d. 1908) in 1900 vs. Patsy Cline - Sweet Dreams (Of You) (1963) Written by Don Gibson in 1955
The similarity is in the first couple measures of Cline's violin accompaniment, recorded less than a decade after "Flight of the Bumblebee" entered the public domain. (This was in 1957 under the then U.S. rule of 56 years after publication or 1959 under the Berne Convention rule of 50 years after the author's death.) Had this introduction been present in Gibson's 1955 recording, the pair might have qualified for this page. --Tepples (talk) 01:23, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Heard Bee Gees 'Tragedy' recently and thought it sounded very similar to Lady Gaga's 'Telephone'. Googled it and apparently I'm the only one that thinks so. Have a listen and compare!
Exact same theme, exact same tune!
Katy Perry - Hot N Cold vs. Cher - Believe
Edit: Add the theme from The Neverending Story to that list.
Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down vs. Pink - Try

Their song “Hayfever” from 1993 is very similar to her later hit “Love Song”.
Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." vs. Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love"
At first listen, Johnny Gill - Soul of a Woman (2019) sounds like what someone might make as a mash-up of "Don't Dream It's Over", "Karma", and "I Don't Want to Wait". --Tepples (talk) 17:14, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
"Hey Vsauce, Michael here." The video "Will We Ever Run Out of New Music?" quotes an essay I wrote back in 2001 about chilling effects on music (which eventually became Mini-rant archive#Songwriting). Later in the video, an excerpt from the song "Some Nights" by Fun was played, and it turned out to be the missing piece connecting the following cluster of songs:
I'll need to find the pairwise points of similarity among these. --Tepples (talk) 20:19, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
"Someone Take My Heart Away" by Edgar Winter Group (1974) has some similarities to "God Gave Rock and Roll To You" by Argent (1973 and later covered by Kiss).
Hey Pin8, I know you want people to forget about your Tetris clone Lockjaw, but can I at least use your GBA mashup remix of 'I Don't Like The Drugs But The Drugs Like Me' by Marilyn Manson and 'It's All About The Benjamins' by Puff Daddy that was used in Lockjaw: The Overdose as an example about how they sound so similar they fit together naturally in a remix?

A Phineas and Ferb song takes a lot from a pop song. Silvagunner rip / Demo here: [3]
"In Bloom" (verse) and "Territorial Pissings" (the whole thing) by Nirvana",although one of my favorite bands, got a similar idea to the outro of "Starship Trooper" by Yes " "Say Hello To Heaven" by Temple of The Dog sounds like "Seasons of Wither" by Aerosmith--- " the gritty, angsty "I Got ID" by Pearl Jam w/ Neil Young sounds like 70s prog rock bubblegum "Fooling Yourself" by Styx "Low" by Cracker sounds more like "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak than "Sweet Home Alabama" or maybe a hybrid of the 2, on a dumber note "Everybody Dance Now" and "Here We Go Let's Rock and Roll" (1990) by C+C Music Factory sound a lot like "Good Vibration"(1991) by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch

My husband was humming Rhiannon, and I thought he was humming I Was Made for Lovin' You. We listened to both, and feel they sound a lot alike.
I thought I remembered something when I heard "Holy" by Justin Bieber. So I rechecked, and "We Fall Down" by Chris Tomlin wasn't quite close enough to make the list: the descent is diatonic in "We Fall Down" and pentatonic in "Holy". --Tepples (talk) 02:02, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
