Sound familiar, Jarvis?

He claims he wrote it in 1986 - Yeeeah . . . Jimmy Hill, chinny reckon, churn on, golden churn!

Re: Vanishing Girl :- There's also a bit of self-plagiarism going on there because the "Burn my letters and you'd better leave just one pint a day" hook is melodically similar to the "The only job I do well is here on the farm" bit from 'Love On A Farmboy's Wages'. I think we can all agree what this sub-forum needs is more bollocking on about XTC, eh? Not enough of that on CaB.

To prove I can talk about other bands 'Lazy' by Suede is just fucking 'Scooby Dooby Doo, Where Are You?'

^ 'Hello' by probably forgotten 90s indie rock band Baby Chaos is another 'Nigel' rip-off.

this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czh-BkjUGbs
is the exact same tune as Polkadot Cadaver - Chloroform Girl

or maybe it's just a traditional melody

Rise by PiL is surely constructed around Once In A Lifetime by Talking Heads.

Love both of them, why do you think that?

Remember hearing this song back in the early 2000s and thinking what a nice little riff it was and working it out on guitar etc, Planet Funk = Chase The Sun

Turns out it was nicked from this track by Ennio Morricone.

George Benson's On Broadway was on the radio the other day, and I spent ages trying to think what it reminded me of.

It was this oddball record that I heard while on holiday when my mate brought his CDs of the entire Motown singles.

I love this, and I thought it was a cheek to rip off this obscurity, but of course I was wrong - The Drifters released On Broadway two years earlier.

I had a real " Duuuuh! Of f**king course!!" smashing my head with a tin tray moment today.

The template of Michael Jackson's Bad is bleedin' Ray Parker Jnr's Theme To Ghostbusters

Inevitable mash up.

And Ghostbusters is taken from the template of Huey Lewis & The News - I Want A New Drug

These millionaire hippy cunts wanted everything in the early eighties.

Now, we're back to Jockice's Racey theory...

Randy Newman's I Think It's Going To Rain Today and Eels' It's A Motherfucker are little bit similar sounding, aren't they?

Newman
Eels

Both great songs though.

Theory? It's fact, And I won't rest till they sue Finley Quaye for every penny he has. About 20 at last count.

Dunno if you'd class it as plagiarism but I can't hear the repeating chordal guitar sting in Lindsey Buckingham's Turn It On without thinking of Harrison's I Need You.

Just heard this song by Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still

Basically just an extemporising of the melody line from Mr. Postman by The Marvelettes "Oh yeah - wait a minute Mr Postman" etc
