Lampshaded when the band did an album with rock covers of Christmas songs, where "O Come All Ye Faithful" is performed exactly like "We're Not Gonna Take It". Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" is derived from the Christmas hymn "O Come All Ye Faithful".
Aiden's entire discography is this to AFI's, but "I Set My Friends on Fire" and "The Despair Factor" deserves a special mention.Brightside" and "Bulletproof Heart" sound a lot like it. Then there's also Muse's "Time is Running Out." It doesn't sound like "Special K," but "Mr.MCR even sings "gravity" in the same way this may have been done intentionally. Brightside" and My Chemical Romance's "Bulletproof Heart" are reminiscent of Placebo's "Special K".
Safetysuit's "Stay" sounds incredibly similar to Switchfoot's "Meant to Live." They sound enough alike that most people seem to initially think that "Stay" is a cover of "Meant to Live.".The fade-in to "Money for Nothing", with Terry Williams's improvised drum solo, is remarkably similar to end of the middle part of "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who.The fade-out of Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" from Brothers in Arms is set to The Police's "Don't Stand So Close to Me" - lampshaded by Mark Knopfler having Sting sing it and giving him co-writing credits.Ditto for 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up?", from Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy".Billy Joel gave Beethoven writing credit. But he's not ripping off "Midnight Blue", they're both borrowing from Beethoven (Sonata No. His "This Night" has almost exactly the same tune as Louise Tucker's "Midnight Blue".Billy Joel's "My Life" takes its melody from Johnny Rodriguez' "Love Put a Song in My Heart".Ditto for "A Honest Mistake" by The Bravery.Conversely, The Cure's "The Walk" is similar to New Order's "Blue Monday.".New Order's "All The Way" sounds a lot like The Cure's "Just Like Heaven.".Also "Coming Down" by Dum Dum Girls sounds highly similar to "Fade Into You.".Mazzy Star "Fade Into You" sounds similar to Bob Dylan "Knocking on Heaven's Door.".The Spice Girls song "Last Time Lover" sounds similar to The Mary Jane Girls' "All Night Long.".In turn, Zenith Volt's " Hold On " sounds like a more upbeat synthwave take on "Heavy". Many were quick to point out that Linkin Park and Kiiara's " Heavy " sounds almost exactly like The Chainsmokers and Halsey's " Closer "."Neighbors" by Camouflage sounds a lot like "New Dress" by Depeche Mode.In the instrumental part of The Cure's "Prayers for rain", there is a chord sequence that sounds like the chords for Alphaville "Dance with me"."Sheer Heart Attack" starts off with a few verses that were copied from the beginning of The Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There.".The lead synth melody is also similar to Proto Man's theme from Mega Man 3. The chorus of "Oh Yes You're There, Everyday" is suspiciously similar to the Dungeon Theme from The Legend of Zelda(though that itself was inspired by Deep Purple's "April")." Lune de fiel " is noted to be similar to Tony Montana's theme from Scarface (1983).Even more noticeable: compare "Midnight City" to The Chainsmokers' " Paris ", as well as Mike Posner's " Looks Like Sex ". Midnight City was released in 2011, while Sleepwalking was released in 2013.
