Songs that sound like other songs

Lemming

The chorus to Green Day's "21 Guns" is almost exactly the same as ELO's "Telephone Line":

And the melody was used in Pokemon too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqsgB2TZ9Ks

Additionally, here are three songs which all sound roughly the same to me, although when I've showed other people some of them don't hear it:

AC/DC - Rock N Roll Damnation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i__LRINO2oI&feature=youtu.be&t=14
Foreigner - Hot Blooded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c1m2BAg2Sc&feature=youtu.be&t=8
Deep Purple - Woman From Tokyo https://youtu.be/b-ScDz4Vj98?t=42

This is probably a famous one that you all know, but I only recently heard this pretty bad song on a Oneohtrix Point Never mix.

Subculture?

Even as a child I could tell this was a fragrant Crazy Horses rip-off.

This is the one for kids TV. I was rather taken aback when I heard this. Then dissappointed that no one at Cbeebies raided their Tululah Gosh records for inspiration.

I heard this (for the first ever time) start on the radio today...

And at I initially believed it to be this...

I mean come on.

Surely it's Sympathy For The Devil they're ripping off?

They've even got Burgess dressed a bit like Jagger in "Performance" in the video.

Another piece of Charlatans thievery, compare the intro of Simon & Garfunkel's April Come She Will with North Country Boy:

As I work my way through all the UK number 1s ever, I was struck by the similarity of the bridge in B*witched's Rollercoaster and the song Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

And the chorus owes more than a little to the theme tune of The Double Deckers:

Was listening to this on the walk in to work this morning :

There's a refrain in it that sounds like Elton liked the song a lot :

The chorus melody is a straight rip of 'Torn And Frayed' off Exile On Main Street. Ooh, those Charlatans! I seem to recall loads of the lyrics on their 'Us And Us Only' album are bare faced repurposed Bob Dylan phrases.

Intros

Intro to Starlight by Muse
And intro to Nice Guy Eddie by Louise Wener and her Sleeperblokes




Also the Bottom theme tune and Italian standard
Scalinatella, the one by Mike Patton is a good reference.

Ariana Grande's recent popular single 'No Tears Left to Cry' has a chorus that's been bugging me for a while. This evening I realised it's the climax of Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn Part 2.

Grande: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffxKSjUwKdU
Oldfield: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF3vf8WT1yE&feature=youtu.be&t=11m11s (at 11:11 if the timestamp doesn't work)

Also, this has probably been mentioned before, but ELO's Don't Bring Me Down and Lady Gaga's Bad Romance:
